Finding a Deeper Presence in the Jungles of Peru

Finding a Deeper Presence in the Jungles of Peru

Taking you on a sensory journey through the Amazon Rainforest, Anastacia explores how
she found her authenticity by enduring the heat, mud and biting insects while developing
her awareness and intuition in the jungle. As she reflects on the experiences that helped
her to gain presence in the world around her, Anastacia offers creative ways to achieve
depth and connection in our daily lives.

Anastacia has been teaching body-centered personal growth internationally since 1998 through workshops, classes, one-on-one coaching, and retreats. In 2005, she added the Satir Model to her theoretical framework. She trains therapists, psychiatrists and social workers in China and Thailand to integrate body awareness, experiential exploration and use of the body into the therapeutic process. She offers training through several Satir international Institutes, and is a trainer in Satir Transformational Systemic Therapy for the Satir Institute of the Pacific. She received their 2023 Leadership Award. Her goal is to enhance everyone’s ability to interact with
their clients in the journey towards self-responsibility, congruence and transformation. She is a contributing author of “Body mind Wisdom and Satir’s Model” in Virginia Satir’s Evolving Legacy: Transformative Therapy with a Body-Mind Connection. Her work has taken her to 17 countries on the continents of North America, Europe, South America, Australia and Asia.
Anastacia lives with her husband and their parrot in Bellingham, Washington.
