Annalee is an ICF ACC accredited executive and creativity coach who takes a radical approach to reintegrating creativity and art into every aspect of her clients’ lives.

Her work is based on the principle that creativity and culture are matters of survival and basic elements of human nature. She uses a nervous-system informed and somatic based approach to support her clients in working with their natural rhythms and curiosity.

Annalee’s coaching framework was born from the intersection of a lifetime spent working in creative fields, and a passion for personal development, healing, and mindfulness practice. Part of her framework is informed by the Unschooling movement Annalee joined at age 15. Joining this movement meant she decided to trust her curiosity and learned by taking her education entirely into her own hands.

She is trained as a group facilitator by The Art Of Hosting, and has completed training in land-based art therapy. Into this tapestry, Annalee weaves principles of permaculture and an interconnected point of view that stem from her rural homesteading lifestyle.

In addition to her work as a coach, Annalee has also worked in graphic recording for more than a decade. In this work, she has had the pleasure of visually mapping conversations for clients ranging form the World Health Organization to local Indigenous communities and everything in between. As she stood in front hundreds of every day folks and esteemed professionals with her markers and 10 foot sheets of paper, she realized three things about creativity: 


1. It is so much more crucial and valuable than we’ve been led to believe.

2. It belongs in every sector and to every person.

3. It’s not too late. You don’t need to be a kid to grow into a creatively-healthy adult.

When she's not working, Annalee bakes, sews, dances and plays the Celtic fiddle. She lives in the mountains of British Columbia with her fiancé and their dog-sized fluffy black cat.
