In 2017—at 37 years old—she was diagnosed with breast cancer and immediately began a targeted hormone therapy to kill the estrogen in her body, induce premature menopause, and lower the risk for recurrence. Within days, she found herself in menopause.
While her doctors had prepared her for the mastectomy, Anna felt ill-prepared for the plethora of menopausal symptoms she quickly began to experience.
Anna penned a personal essay for HuffPost Personal about her experience with vaginal rejuvenation, which went viral. Blown away by the response she received from readers, she realized certain menopausal health issues have long been ignored.
Anna has been a guest on The Tamron Hall Show, and published in Salon, HuffPost, Insider, Zibby Magazine, and Dorothy Parker's Ashes,
among others.
She lives in Santa Fe, NM with her husband and two children.
