Creator of Mindful Runes©
and Healthy Ageing Mentor

Anna is a keen advocate of Rune Reading as a source of motivation for effectively dealing with life's key issues. She created Mindful Runes to provide a means by which to address the stresses and strains of our 21st Centoury lifestyles. Grounded on developing robust Emotional Intelligence [EI] - vital for mental health - Mindful Runes are an entirely new divination tool for people who are keen to explore practical ways to live well in our uncertain times.
With a BSc. Hons. Psychology [Bristol] and a Diploma in Feng Shui [Holistic Design Institute], Anna's interests encompass mental, emotional and physical health: nutrition, exercise, social connection, time in nature, attention span, AI impacts, priming your environment to make it easy 'to do the right thing', and Mindful Awareness based on contemporary neuroscience and Buddhist teachings.
A former regional PR Director with a leading global agency, Anna subsequently set up an independent technical PR & Marketing consultancy specialising in buildings:
design, construction, energy saving, fire safety, acoustics, water, product lifecycles and sustainability; plastic container industry including recycling, and workplace stress.
Linking her knowledge of psychology and buildings with mindfulness and health-supporting homes, Anna has advised private individuals and business clients as to how their environments affect their thinking, their productivity and their emotional well-being.
This led her to write a thought-provoking book:
The Habitat Affect [2017] which recommends ways to harness energy and aspiration to action for life-enhancing results.
Today, Anna is a Healthy Ageing Practitioner and Mind Training Mentor. She facilitates discussion groups, runs workshops and gives talks including "Conversations Around Healthy Ageing" and "Less Stress More Zest: Prime Your Environment - Protect Your Health".
Her hobbies include pickleball, squash, tennis, hiking in nature, DIY, sewing, writing, reading non-fiction and socialising with friends. Anna is a mother of four and lives near Oxford with family in London, Wales, Spain and USA.
"To stay young at heart, have boundless curiosity and a strong sense of
wonder, especially for the miracle of life in every conceivable form. And
remember to share any good fortune that comes your way - pay-it-forward with
loving kindness." Anna Cherry
