"Imagine turning your deepest pain into your greatest source of power. In that transformation, you don’t just heal—you awaken to a profound connection with life itself and with your loved one who has transitioned. This is the path to living fully, with purpose, presence, and love guiding every step.""

Meet Ann 🌸

I’m Ann Honkala-Troiano, BSN, RN, NC, RYT, Breathwork Trainee—but more than the letters after my name, I am a mother, a guide, and a woman who has walked through the unimaginable.

Ten years ago, my life changed in an instant when my daughter, Piper, transitioned. Grief cracked me open in ways I could never have prepared for. What once felt like the end of everything slowly became the beginning of something else—a deeper connection to myself, to Piper, and to life itself.

Through this journey, I learned something my professional training alone could never have taught me: how to live fully, even with loss.
Grief became not only my teacher, but also my doorway into empowerment, resilience, and love.

Now, as a holistic practitioner, I weave together my personal experience with tools like yoga, breathwork, coaching, and nervous system healing to support mothers like you. My approach is both grounded and soulful—light when you need laughter, deep when you need truth, and always rooted in compassion.

Working with me means being held in safety and love while also being gently guided into your own power. Together, we create space for your grief, your healing, and your joy. Because your story, like mine, doesn’t end with loss—it expands into new ways of living, loving, and thriving.

✨ This isn’t about “fixing” you.
It’s about helping you remember the wholeness and strength that’s already within you—so you can live with presence, intention, and unshakable connection to your child and to life.

With infinite love + gratitude,
Ann (and Piper, always by my side 🤍)

🌸 This is the path from grief to growth, from heartbreak to wholeness.
Working with me means being held in warmth, compassion, and truth as you rediscover that life after loss is not only possible—it can be deeply beautiful.

  • INTENTION-PLANTING THE SEED

    Every transformation begins with a choice. Together, we’ll set the intention for your life—not just surviving, but envisioning how you truly want to live, love, and feel. This is about aligning with your deepest truth and crafting a life that honors both your grief and your dreams.

  • Embodiment – Rooting Into Your Truth

    Next, you’ll train your body to remember the authenticity of who you are and become the embodied expression of your intention. Once the seed is planted, we bring it into the body. Through gentle, powerful practices, you’ll re-train your nervous system to remember who you really are—beyond the pain, beyond the story. This is where your intention becomes felt, lived, and embodied, so you can move through life as the authentic expression of your deepest self.

  • Empowerment – Living Fully Again

    Finally, you’ll learn how to carry this embodied truth into the world. This is where everything expands: where you discover the freedom to create, to love, and to express yourself with ease. Empowerment means you no longer live from loss alone—you live from connection, resilience, and possibility.
