Hi! I am Annie Weisbrod. I help individuals and groups become more aware and make different choices for healthy living. I do this through meditation courses, healing and coaching sessions, yoga, and sustainability consulting.
Meditation
Training the mind to be healthy and resilient is as important as training the body.
Thousands of studies have shown the many benefits of regular meditation, such as improving focus, preventing and relieving stress, enhancing kindness and intuition, and promoting relaxation and a sense of balance.
These behaviors are crucial in a work environment, as well as to our health, efficacy, and satisfaction is all areas of life.
Is a live-streaming 8-week course that has been shown scientifically to reduce feelings of stress and overload, and increase resilience, empathy, and mindfulness. Two colleagues and I published a study affirming the effectiveness of the Meditation Without Expectations™ program at a Fortune 50 global company in the journal Current Psychology:
Is a live-streaming global practice community. We explore a wide range of topics in 6-to-9 week series. Regular participants report improved awareness that supports making different choices and taking constructive actions for better quality of personal and work life.
Lifestyle & Well-being Workshops
Are 90 minute to 2-hour sessions offered virtually or in person. A dozen topics are available, covering aspects of stress resiliency, conversation intelligence like listening and compassionate communication, basics of meditation and gratitude, and lifestyle medicine.
Our human instrument is capable of so much more than we think.
Our bodies, emotions, mental, and intuitive systems work in concert.
As we discover how to listen into their depths, great shifts occur.
Healing
Healing is an activity we do together. It is a recognition and alignment without words.
The advanced intuitive approach I use relies fully on our natural human capabilities, when realized.
We identify factors for the unease, working through our four integrated systems—physical form, mental manifestations, emotions, and intuition or spirit.
These work in concert to keep us alive and nourished.
We are completely interconnected. Impacts in one system affect all others and thus the whole.
I am currently available for a few one-to-one sessions per week. A minimum of 3 sessions is recommended. Please contact me to discuss.
Yoga means to connect, integrate. The practices are ancient, evolving, and not just physical. By making this meditative art and play part of our lives, we become more present and aware of our body, mind, prana-qi-energy, their nature and patterns, which benefits ourselves and all those around us.
Yoga
I support advanced beginner and experienced yogis and teachers in…
- Learning about energy (prana, qi) flows and how to use them effectively in poses.
- Gaining insight into how our mind-body-heart systems work together.
- Feeling more secure in achieving challenging poses (asana).
- Gaining experience with physical and energetic best practices.
I teach mixed level and advanced yoga at four locations in Cincinnati, Ohio.
My work in sustainability has served organizations all over the world to become more aware and work together to develop and apply sound environmental science. This led thousands to change their mindsets and actions, transforming ‘business as usual’ into new paths that can benefit us all.
Sustainability
I entered the complex sustainability field almost 4 decades ago, inspired to save the natural world with other well-informed scientists, or at least slow down its destruction. I have loved this impactful work. I led environmental studies, developed new methods and trainings, and influenced legislation and innovation strategies with businesses, governments, universities, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). It has been a joy and an honor to publish dozens of papers across 5 scientific disciplines, chair numerous cross-sector committees, be elected and serve on international scientific Boards, and provide keynote addresses at global conferences.
My previous role as a Principal Scientist in Global Sustainability and Wellbeing for a huge global company gave me perspective and experience in how organizations can effectively support the healthy living and performance of employees, and meaningfully protect and restore our environment. Such efforts are not separate, and in fact, are vital.
I remain passionate about this field and have promised former colleagues to remain available as an expert advisor. I am excited to support well-founded innovations that reverse the course of ecosystem collapse, reduce pollution and climate change, and support responsible sourcing. Please contact me to discuss potential training or consulting engagements.
