In this episode of Chakras and Chardonnay, host Maria Mayes welcomes Anna Resende, the founder of Mamma Terra Coaching, to discuss her mission to reconnect people with nature. Anna is a Chemical Engineer by trade with 25 years of experience in the manufacturing industry focusing on continuous improvement. After working in five different plants between Brazil and the United States she finally found the branch of continuous improvement that most resonated with her; improving peoples health and well-being. As a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, Anna uses her passion for nutrition and a healthy lifestyle to help her clients discover their best, healthiest selves.
Anna explains how her coaching programs focus on connecting with nature, mind, body, soul, and community to achieve balance and well-being. She shares insights into her signature program, Nature Walk, which incorporates stress-relief techniques like meditation, breathing exercises, forest bathing, and grounding, along with the importance of nutrition.
Her upcoming book, “Living Your Best Life in College,” is aimed at high school seniors and college freshmen to help them transition smoothly into college life. Inspired by her son’s struggles with college-related stress and her own journey as a health coach, Anna emphasizes the importance of holistic approaches to health and wellness.
Throughout the conversation, Anna and Maria discuss the pressures adolescents face today, the significance of self-care, and how clean living can enhance clarity and productivity. Though not a wine lover Anna shares her appreciation for the beauty of vineyards and her occasional enjoyment of port wine. The episode closes with a guided relaxation to tap into nature.
