Meet our guest

Guest Instructor Anna Smith

MSW, LCSWA, RYT500 - Anna has spent nearly 10 years working in therapeutic services, focusing on developing an understanding of the mind-body connection and best approaches for clinical interventions. Prior to coming to clinical work, she collaborated with trauma experts to develop innovative approaches to care for boys and men who’ve exited the life of sex trafficking. As a result of her findings she co-produced a full length documentary film on the issue. Anna is also an adjunct faculty at Metropolitan State Denver, School of Social Work and UNC- Chapel Hill School of Social Work. As an anti-trafficking advocate, Anna enjoys using her knowledge and personal experience to strengthen and stand in freedom with others through speaking, writing, teaching, and consulting. Journeying through her own recovery process, she understands that healing is a painful yet beautiful path we must take to receive freedom. Anna believes healing is possible for everyone, no matter age, gender, or situation - it is possible.
