In the Rays of Light newsletter you'll find...
It can be daunting to sign up for something when you're not sure what it is. To give you a better idea:
- Healthy food and eating habits: I promote a balanced, nutritious diet, which is central to my practice as a health & nutrition coach. This includes different sources of protein, including (but not limited to) animal products, such as eggs, some forms of dairy, fish and meat. However, I care deeply about animal suffering and sustainability, and I strive for a healthy balance in all areas of life. It is up to you what you adopt and you will never be judged for your choices.
- Proven methods: I don't shy away from more woo-woo practices if there is scientific or experiential evidence to support their use, e.g. kundalini yoga or EFT (tapping). The most important factors are: Is it beneficial? Is it accessible? Can it be done easily?
Practical solutions: The Rays of Light are designed to be bite-size so that you can use them easily, one step at a time and without overwhelm.
- A community: Life is complex and I understand that some things are out of our control. However, I believe that everything happens for a reason and we are here to learn. If you need support and want to connect with others on this path, as a subscriber you are also invited to join our private Community group on Facebook.
- Respect for your time and inbox space: The Rays of Light used to be sent every weekday but I recognise that this may have been too often, so from January 2022 they are sent as a single weekly email. I respect your time and your inbox space, and I will never spam you. You may occasionally get an additional email from me to let you know about special events and workshops that I'm running and that I feel may be relevant to you. You can unsubscribe any time.

Anna's Rays of light have been little nuggets of food for thought for me. Some have really rung true with me whilst others have pushed me to question why I find it so difficult to praise, promote and love myself. I like that each post is short and to the point. I also like that I have been able to use them as conversation starters with friends. I hope that today's Ray about repetition will inspire me to actually 'do' THAT! Repeat and embed positive thoughts about myself and what I want to do or achieve in life 🤔🤷♀️🤞Helen
Is so easy to bogged down and overwhelmed these days but the reality is that so many of my stresses and strains are just insignificant when I really think about them and a little daily reminder of what’s truly important helps me focus and push out the negativity. Thank you Anna xAnn
I have been receiving Anna’s Ray of Lights now for several months. Each morning they pop into my inbox and give me something to think about and consider on a daily basis. I was lucky enough to recently win a competition Anna ran and won a lovely pen, a journaling book with ten top tips on journaling. I cannot recommend Ray of Light enough if you’d like a daily thought provoking prompt.Claire
The Rays of Light posts are inspiring and motivating, they encourage mindful thinking and reflection through the use of small but meaningful reflective questions. They encourage self-love and promote a supportive, calming and reassuring energy that helps ease stress or worry.The Caring Introvert
Towards vital health - with a difference
We have not yet seen a truly holistic, science- and experience-based newsletter like our Rays of Light. And especially not one that is and always will be FREE.
Holistic & universal
The Rays of Light promote healthy habits, nutrient-dense food and self-discovery regardless of your background. What we do can be woven in with almost any religion, belief system or dietary choice.A Community
There’s nothing quite like the support of like-minded people who go through similar things as you. Our Community group on Facebook is fully optional but is always there for you.
Flexibility
Now the Rays of Light is sent only once a week, so all of a given week's Rays are in one place. No email overwhelm!I really love your inspirational posts. They really resonate with me
