About me
Annie Hopson has long been a “permissionary,” traveling through life, lending permission to people seeking to figure out and create what they really want in their lives — that is, until they are able to create permission for themselves and those around them. Assisting in freedom and personal expansion is one of her greatest joys!
As a former physicist and math/science teacher, Annie loves guiding life experiments. She taught creative problem-solving for over a decade at Johns Hopkins University’s Center for Talented Youth. She has spent the last twenty years fiercely modeling for her children how to be the independent, responsible, emotionally savvy adult she deeply desires for them to become. Most lately, she has been culminating her many years of personal growth training with Tantric Counseling and Love Coach certifications along with becoming a Certified Cuddle Party Facilitator. She is now taking on assisting with weekend and week-long facilitated transformational experiences led by Zoetic Workshops, Cathleene Cienfuegos, Lourdes Starshower Pollock, and Monique Darling, in preparation for fully bringing her light out into the world!
Annie is also passionate about the healing power of touch, serving as a massage therapist and touch educator, focusing on Betty Martin's Wheel of Consent. She has been a longtime member of the American Massage Therapy Association and the National Guild of Hypnotists in addition to being a Certified Laughter Yoga Leader and a Certified Cuddlist (cuddlist.com/anniehopson).
Annie catalyzes personal transformation through her presence, her persistence, her expert facilitation, and her willingness to “get real” with anyone willing to “get real” too.
