Anna manifested a lifelong hobby of sewing & altering clothing (plus a personal passion for wellness) into a dream career as a Holistic Bridal Seamstress.
Today, as The Heart-Centered Seamstress, Anna offers Brides a unique alterations experience combining her expert bridal tailoring skills with a variety of wellness & stress support services.
Anna is a seasoned wedding industry professional with 9+ years of in-depth experience as a previous Wedding Coordinator & Director, Bridal Stylist, and now expert Bridal Seamstress.
Anna’s passion for holistic wellness has been a journey that started from a young age. She now holds a degree in Somatic Psychology & Mind-Body Wellness from the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts with complimentary certifications in Yoga, Yoga Nidra, & Life Coaching. Her main focuses are energy work, somatic movement, and guided breath work meditations intended to support relaxation & stress-relief.
Anna’s mission is to support EVERY Bride, the WHOLE Bride, on a Heart-Centered level to ensure they feel their best inside & out on the journey leading up to the wedding day & the forever that follows!
Anna was deeply inspired & influenced by her time working and living in London, England, UK during her early twenties. As an international intern for luxury shoe brand Lucy Choi London, Anna studied and learned directly under Lucy Choi,
niece of legendary shoe designer, Jimmy Choo.
This experience solidified a passion for the art of design, the craft of comfort, and the opportunity to create memorable moments celebrating women.
Anna loves celebrating each individual, unique Bride and their style however they choose to express themselves with the dress they've fallen in love with.
Anna is an Indiana native that now resides in Mesa, Arizona, with her Husband, Luke, & sweet Malti-poo pup, Lennon. In her free time,
she enjoys gardening (talking to her plants), cuddling with Lennon, adventuring with Luke,
playing games on her Nintendo Switch, forever decorating her house and studio, lighting a cozy candle, meditating,
& continuing her education in the holistic & bridal realms.
