Anne M. Thompson, LLC

Anne-Marie is Health & Wellness Practitioner dedicated to empowering women in their evolution. During a season of navigating personal and professional challenges as a mom and entrepreneur, Anne-Marie became aware that she was waiting for things to get better, waiting for things to happen -- waiting for something to feel different. She was stuck, uncertain and unclear about who she was and who she wanted to become. She was feeling a sense of loss and felt lost along her journey. Inspired by her teachers and mentors in the wellness community, she began integrating daily rituals to motivate her morning. Anne-Marie nurtured three pillars: mindset, mindfulness and movement by integrating small, simple, sustainable practices to support her wellbeing. Along the way, Anne-Marie, reclaimed a sense of self and ultimately, cultivated the courage, confidence and clarity to evolve into the next iteration of herself. After decades in the field of clinical social work, specializing in hospice care and grief and loss, she chose her next best yes to shift her therapeutic model from counseling to coaching, redefining what she wanted to share with women and the wellness community. Anne-Marie integrated these teachings to develop a unique holistic approach, “Courage Coaching” to support women's wellness by empowering them to cultivate the courage to care for themselves, nurture their confidence and revitalize their clarity to create a life where they feel more present and purposeful. Drawing from her clinical expertise, Anne-Marie seamlessly incorporates her background into Courage Coaching. While this approach is therapeutic, it is distinct from therapy, focusing on personal growth, possibilities and potential rather than on medical diagnosis and treatment. Anne-Marie partners with you to attain the vision you have for yourself. Courage Coaching offers a transformative journey that is strengths-based and client-centered. Anne-Marie companions clients with compassion and collaboration, holding space for this time of vulnerability and validating their experience.
