About Anna

I joined Alongside You in 2017 as an administrator and have been helping behind the scenes ever since. These days I mostly tinker with operations and a bit of design, but my favourite part of the day is still meeting new clients and helping them settle in for their first appointment. I’m grateful to have been a part of such a hardworking family-run clinic with its heart in the right place.

I have a special interest in chronic pain and chronic conditions, and how they interact with the medical and psychological fields. I also have a soft spot for widening the circle of conversation around mental health.

What would Anna be doing if she did not pursue the career path she has right now?

In another life (and maybe with a personality transplant), I think I would have enjoyed being a National Geographic photographer. I did a stint at photography school and love that delicious moment of capturing someone’s force in a photograph.

But realistically, I enjoy being creative while cozy (and possibly with a snack at hand), so maybe some kind of artist, writer, or a maker of things.

How does Anna relax when she is outside of work?

Relaxing, you say? I usually relax by chasing my toddler around all day and then falling into bed despite my best intentions to do a million other things first.

But a perfect day would probably involve romping in the forest with my family and friends, playing by the ocean, and eating delicious food all day. And I wouldn’t complain if a troupe of happy dogs was thrown in there, too.

What does Anna consider to be the most important value? 

Connection. We’re all in this together.
