About Anna

Anna is a writer and licensed 

mental health therapist.

 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, including vaginal atrophy. 

Anna penned a personal essay for the HuffPost about her experience with vaginal rejuvenation that went viral. Blown away by the response she received from readers, she realized vaginal atrophy is a women's health issue that has long been ignored.

Anna's writing has beena guest on The Tamron hall Show, and has been published in The HuffPost, Insider, Zibby Magazine, and Dorothy Parker's Ashes, 

among others.

She lives in Santa Fe, NM with her husband and two children.
