About Anne
Anne Woods MOTR/L, C-IAYT
Anne is an occupational therapist (OT), certified yoga therapist, and owner/operator of Arise Therapeutics in Albuquerque, NM. She is an artist who became a wellness professional as a result of her healing journey after nearly dying in an apartment fire.
While working as an OT at an inpatient rehabilitation hospital, she saw what happens when you ignore tension and pain, or think you will do something about it later. As a pediatric OT she recognized how developmental movement and primitive reflex integration could help adults; especially those who have experienced long standing issues, such as decreased body awareness, anxiety, and depression.
Merging occupational therapy, yoga, and CranioSacral therapy, Anne created Arise Therapeutics in response to conversations with patients and their caregivers who told her they wanted to get better but didn’t know how.
Anne says, “I was surprised when, what started out as an intention to provide preventative care for issues like back and hip pain, resulted in deep transformation for my clients”
Anne has a gift for blending artistry and science for healing that is powerful, practical, and personalized.
