Coach, psychologist, chocolatier, workshop leader, writer, dancer, creative thinker - Annie Wigman is all of these.
She has a mischievous, sparkling humour and tenacious zest for life that carries her through the challenges and curved balls that life can throw at us.
Born and raised in London to ‘older’ parents before it became fashionable, Annie has lost both her mother and father. She understands what it’s like to feel ‘different’ from everyone around her – to feel vulnerable and abandoned. Almost homeless for a while – she has an indomitable spirit, a warm listening heart and a natural ability to listen beyond mere words.
Feisty and funny, sensitive and strong, Annie is a glitterball of paradoxic contradictions.
Not one to be pigeon-holed or follow the herd, Annie is passionate about being – and helping others to be – a self-expressed, strong individual and a valued member of a loving, supportive community so that you always have a place you can call ‘home‘.
You see yourself as ‘different’ from the mainstream? But you don’t like to hear others call you eccentric?
- Annie can help you learn to love it, embrace it and truly embody your individual zany sparkle; to radiate your sexy, sensual energy, tap into your creative spirit and be disarmingly irresistible.
Annie is used to moving beyond existing comfort zones and quickly establishing rapport. She studied psychology as a ‘mature student’ and gained invaluable experience of living, studying, pubbing and clubbing with regular age students from all over the world. She has absorbed and integrated a vast eclectic span of cultural references.
She has been on the set of a fashion shoot for Vogue, enjoyed travel on a business class flight and endured the random chaos of a noisy, overcrowded public bus. She’s mixed with people rich and poor, witnessed poverty and wealth.
Through the variety of her experience, Annie has learned the importance of being free to choose the times and places where we work – and play. She acknowledges that the When and the Where we place ourselves can be as important to our wellbeing as the What and the With Whom.
She knows that shifting from trapped and stuck to basking in your ideal situation rarely happens overnight. She is empathic, intuitive, compassionate and deeply, deeply caring. She knows frustration! She has also seen that, over time and with determination and support, things can and do start to improve.
- Annie’s own spiritual home is a blend of hi octane city and warm, relaxing sunny beach; sand and sea-foam between her toes and a cocktail in her hand. Plus music and dance partner in the other. A heady mix of NYC meets Tel Aviv meets Ibiza meets the Caribbean … with a bit California dreaming thrown in for good measure. And, wherever she goes, she always takes a twist of London.
As well as coaching, Annie writes, dances and makes delecticious wicked chocolates (check the chocolates page). She’s coined a phrase she calls ‘Coachultant’ to describe a hybrid role of coaching and consultant.
She loves art, design, style, music, cooking, cocktails and conversation. She loves the passion of a quick-witted, fast-thinking mind. And the peacefulness of a gentle breeze on a quiet, sun-soaked beach. And music. Music to dance to. Music to chill to. Balance, diversity, paradox, change.
- When the goalposts seem to keep moving; when you feel you’re running on shifting sands, Annie listens. And with a bit of nifty footwork and slylish flick, will help you reposition your story to fly free in a new direction – one that works for you, one that fits you.
