About me:
Hi, I’m Anna — a South Carolina native now rooted in Austin, TX as of 2024. I’m a lover of yoga, dance, and exploring the deeper truths of our human experience… all while being a silly little human myself. I identify as a Highly Sensitive Person, a fairy at heart, and someone who came to Earth simply to share light and uplift our collective consciousness.
My official journey into the healing arts began in 2012 with my first Reiki training, and I consider myself a lifelong student of the mystical and sacred. But I haven’t always been a full-time energy worker...
Back in 2006, I started my career as a hairstylist. After developing chemical sensitivities from working in salons, I was guided toward natural living — discovering a deep love for herbal medicine, plant-based whole foods, and clean personal care. That path eventually led me to study Religious Studies at the College of Charleston, where I focused on Eastern and Native American spiritual traditions, with a particular love for the mystical threads that weave through them. During that time, I became certified in Reiki Level I.
Still, I resisted the “healer” title for many years, seeking something more “normal.” As 2020 unfolded, I was dealing with a painful overuse injury from dental hygiene work, and facing surgery I deeply did not want. I turned inward and back to Reiki as my personal medicine. As my body healed, so did my sense of purpose. A soul-deep “yes” emerged… and from it, crystal + clover was born.
Today, I’m living my soul’s calling: guiding others into deep rest and reconnection with their own inner wisdom so more peace, love, and joy may emerge. I’m here to hold space for you to feel seen, accepted, and loved — exactly as you are.

How crystal + clover got its name:
In the summer of 2020, I spent a lot of time in quiet introspection, focusing on my personal healing. I would often go out to my yard, sit with a crystal in a small patch of soft clover, meditate, watch the bugs, stretch, and spend time with myself. This practice helped me feel deeply grounded, more connected to my intuition, and supported me in creating crystal + clover.
One day, as I was contemplating what to name my business, and the song "Crimson and Clover" by Tommy James & the Shondells kept playing in my head. It dawned on me that the clover patch I was sitting in and loved so much had a powerful connection to the song. So, I adapted the name from crimson and clover to crystal + clover. It instantly made me smile, over and over, and it felt like the perfect fit!
The name is a tribute to a time of deep healing and expansion for me, one that I hold near and dear as I continue to help others along their healing paths.
