Shared Experiences
Christine M
HANMER SPRINGS, 2017 “THANK YOU SO MUCH ANAH FOR MY HANMER SPRINGS EXPERIENCE.”
“Where do I begin to explain how amazing this was?
From the luxury accommodation to the jet boating, massage, yoga, hot pools and Michelin chef, you left no stone unturned.
For me, it was your authentic, genuine self bringing together a group of (until that weekend, mostly strangers) to inspire, support and listen in a completely open, genuine and non-judgemental way that will remain with me.
Because of this, I have come home with a better, more authentic ‘me’.
My journey began with you and my fellow ladies and will continue because of the lessons I learnt.
Friendships were forged, not only with those in our group but finally, with myself.
Bring on many more Anah, xoxo.”

CEO, MT COOK SAFARIS “STRIVING TO MAKE A CHANGE.”
“Anah Aikman has tenacity and with her passion for striving to make a change, will make a difference for all our communities.
With empathy, compassion, awareness and connectedness we can all learn from Anah how important it is to know more about what these words mean, how these feel, and how we can all put them into practice in our everyday lives to help make the difference.
This is very rewarding to see and feel the change happen. The way we treat and deal with people and situations at work and at home will make a difference for the better of all.
Anah is so inspirational and she has reminded me that everyone has a story, a past, and the way we connect with each other is special, everyone is unique and we all have to respect each other in a caring and authentic way.
It is contagious and with her many years of experience in a variety of professional fields, Anah offers a variety of annual retreats and is also holding workshops for leaders around the country to involve others to be part of the change.
Highly recommend… reach out to Anah for more details.”
