Hello, I’m Annie!
The ability to feel safe
and connect with ease
is essential for wellness. Let me teach you how.
My New Book!
I Want to Connect demystifies what it takes to have better relationships. This book goes beyond surface-level advice and digs down to the fundamental building blocks of stress resilience on a biological and developmental level. It’s packed with 37 exercises to practice self-awareness, reflection, and skills to improve your life.
“Annie Chen’s I Want to Connect brilliantly translates the science of the Polyvagal Theory into practical, life-changing exercises.”
