BEHAVIORAL CHANGE
FOR BRILLIANT AND BADASS WOMEN
WHO SECRETLY FEEL BROKEN

I’m looking for the ladies who have it together on the outside but secretly feel like a mess inside.

You know how smart and capable you are, but you often struggle to make it all work in real life—and the bad habits you’ve got, or the good habits you never stick to, are reinforcing to you that there’s something fundamentally wrong with you. 

No, it's not your fault--it’s so much more interesting than that. It’s about trauma and dopamine deficiency and neural patterning and survival instincts and a whole smorgasbord of outdated programming that’s running behind the scenes.
Reprogramming is simple, but not easy. 

It’s complicated, but not hard. ​
With a few simple practices, your nervous system can finally start to regulate. As your capacity increases, you can begin implementing behavior changes that stick and expanding into the capabilities you’ve been trying to achieve.

​Once you start working with your body instead of against it, that’s when the change you desire can actually take root. 

Come with me and I’ll show you how. 

Hi, i'm anena hansen.

As a trauma educator, women’s coach, and person in long-term recovery from substance addiction, I’m consumed with understanding what gets in the way of brilliant, badass women like you and me becoming all that we’re capable of. 

I spent my entire life in a deep disconnect between my outer confidence and capability and my inner fear that I was an undeserving disaster. I wondered what everyone else had that I didn't, and sabotaged a lot of opportunities as a result.

​When I began to heal my deeply dysregulated nervous system and activated the inherent feminine skillsets that our society overlooks, I found the tools to create lasting behavior change and transform my experience of myself. 
If, like me, your body’s natural capabilities were misprogrammed, I have good news: it’s easier to remedy than you think. Everything you need is already inside you. It’s never too late to become the best, most brilliant version of you. ​

kind words

​"I became aware that I’d been living out adaptive survival patterns that I’d learned in my childhood. Anena helped me understand how to behave from the empowered woman I wanted to be. She held space for me over a full year of grappling with what I wanted. This would be a hard thing to be alone in. What do people do who don’t have an Anena?" - S. I.  ​
“I'm a therapist myself, but my work with Anena helped me TONS. Her nature, her delivery, her phrasing, her clarity, what she made me think about with her questions, has moved mountains for me. I walk away from every single session going daaamn, she’s good!" - T. B.
"I feel so much better--I can’t wait to make this happen! Before this, I was like, ugh. After our session today I’m like okay, this is totally viable, this is doable, girl, I can start putting some pieces into play. Thank you Anena!" K. B. 

"This has been so helpful. I was all over the place, and working with you has given me such a sense of grounding. I’m so grateful for your skills and your gifted guidance." L. E.
