Anne Uemura, Ph.D., has many traditional achievements in her background. Her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees are in Philosophy. After 10 years of college teaching of Philosophy her Socratic style led her to question the direction of her own life. It led to a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at nearby University of Maine. A pre-doctoral fellowship at UC-San Francisco followed by a post-doctoral fellowship at UC-Berkeley situated her permanently in California.

After 13 years as a Counseling Psychologist at UC-Berkeley seeing hundreds of troubled promising students in workshops, group and individual counseling, she retired to a small private practice in Napa. The leisure of this period of midlife afforded her the opportunity to explore non-traditional studies and training.

Anne sees her life as a testimony to the riches of achievement through traditional means. But more important, she is eager to tell you about how much more there is when you move to out-of-the-box principles and concepts.

Anne’s exploration into and teaching about the treasures of midlife comes directly from her personal and professional experiences. The personal ones include an empty nest, marriage, divorce, retirement, illness and death among friends and family. The professional ones include studies with Toltec teachers (former apprentices of Don Miguel, author of The Four Agreements), Ericksonian hypnotists, Barbara Brennan’s energy science, Joe Vitale, Bob Proctor (Joe and Bob, participants in The Secret) and enlightened teachers in books and in person. She embraces the positive model of life coaching as well current change technologies of Emotional Freedom Therapy (EFT), Psych-K (based on the Biology of Beliefs) and Chris Howard’s neurological re-patterning.

Her teaching reflects a profound appreciation of the uniqueness of her life path and the need to honor the same in others. In the end each person’s search for more in life is about finding the more inside, whether you call it heart or potential. In order to move forward, however, Anne emphasizes the influence of early childhood experiences and societal conditioning on beliefs, values and models. She combines the appreciation of the traditional psychotherapy model of combing through past traumas with the necessity of moving forward. This means releasing the limitations of the past and learning to be “at cause” everywhere in life. All of the practices and techniques gathered from cutting edge technologies and from ancient teachings enhance her offerings.

Anne knows full well that she’s a “work in progress” and is pleased to recognize this state as her chosen destiny. At 65 she will impress you by her youthful spirit and appearance—ever open, always curious, growing in awareness and in loving-kindness. She’d be delighted to see others blooming fresh versions of themselves and inspiring others by their example. Anne offers Individual coaching, workshops and presentations, her book and newsletters.
