"Hey, I'm Anna — part coach, part painter, full-time colour explorer."
My Story or how I got here
For the better part of my twenties, I was in constant motion.
Wanderlust carried me across continents:
🌊 New Zealand's wild coasts.
🏛️ Asian Temples tucked into jungles.
🌲 The forests of Canada.
🦘 The buzz of Australia.
I picked up colours and textures like souvenirs. I shifted careers just as often: hotel management, sales, marketing, business development.
The Joy of Experimenting
When Studio Villekulla came to life, so did the permission to try everything.
Brushes, sure. But also park sand. Kitchen towels. Chalk. Shoes. Fire. I never settled into one method because each technique brings a different emotion alive.
Some pieces begin with an idea.
Some just happen, like curiosity got paint on its hands and went running.
My studio became a lab of feeling: scraping, layering, pouring, listening.
The next rabbit hole to explore
Eventually, curiosity led me to study psychological counselling. I went through my own deep inner work — therapy, unlearning, getting honest.
That's where things started to shift.
I stopped trying to meet other people's expectations and started asking bigger questions:
What does success actually mean — to me?
What if I didn't have to prove anything?
What if it's okay not to have the answer yet?
Now, I work with people who are asking those same questions. Whether you're in a moment of transition, questioning your next move, or ready to shed some outdated "shoulds" — I'm here to help you find your own rhythm.
My Approach
Yes, I’m certified — Psychological Counsellor & Business Coach (ILS Hamburg, 2-year program, state-approved in Germany).
Hundreds of hours in coaching labs, psychodrama, and systemic constellations.
So, structured? Absolutely.
But I’ve also lived the messy parts: starting over, crossing borders, rebuilding from scratch.
That’s where the art comes in.
Paint is my language for what can’t be said. A metaphor, a mirror, a little rebellion against doing it all “right.”
In my world, growth isn’t polished — it’s layered, textured, and beautifully human.
In a Nutshell — Three Ways Curiosity Shows Up in My World
And if I had to sum up what connects all the chapters of my life — it’s curiosity.
It’s shown up in three big ways: on the road, in the studio, and in the conversations that change everything.
Travel
Taught me to follow detours, stay curious, and collect stories (and colours) along the way.
Every border crossed added a new shade, in perspective, in courage, in play.
Art
Where words take a nap and colour takes over.
Scribbles, layers, texture, my favourite way to untangle thoughts and make a beautiful mess. It’s where I listen with my hands and let curiosity lead.
Coaching
The space where I help you find your own rhythm again.
Through deep listening, gentle rebellion, and a touch of humour, because growth doesn’t have to feel heavy.
