Anne Strozier Adams, M.Ac., L.Ac.,

Anne Adams began exploring and practicing meditation and energy healing over 30 years ago, when she was a student of the late Zen Master Dainin Katagiri Roshi. She was - and is - fascinated by the unimited powerful potential human beings have when they allow themselves to slow down, become present, and be still, and listen. She has taught classes on and has led Anchoring In Stillness Retreats in New Mexico, Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. She is a graduate of the Traditional Acupuncture Institute, the Washington, D.C. School of Gestalt Therapy, and has just completed a Masters in Applied Healing Arts, focusing on communication through Oneness. Her acupuncture and energy practice is in Silver Spring, Maryland.
