Anneli collins

Corporate Wellness Navigator

After a very successful 35 year career in Sales and Sales Leadership, Anneli turned to her heart and listened to her inner voice.  “It’s time to follow your bliss.”  The death of her son, Jeremy in 2010, took her to the Aegean to grieve with other mom’s on a catamaran in the Greek Islands.  Unbeknownst to her, the sea pulled her in to sooth her mind and to help her grieve.  Since then, Anneli has been back to Greece five times, understanding that the blue and green waters are healing and the connection with others sharing the journey brings about more empathy, compassion, awe, transcendence, flow and unity than any other activity she has experienced. 

Her bliss these days is starting a new business, coaching and consulting leaders in the industry she grew up in.  Coaching is offering her the opportunity to support others in their own endeavors in life.  Neuroscience has brought forth new insights on how to best work with the brain to bring about a rich journey of discovery, learning and growth in one’s life.  Additionally, the recent Neuroscience discoveries about how being near water and/or nature is factoring into our happiness in pursuing goals through meaningful actions.  These learnings has allowed her to meld both Blue Life and her coaching practice into one passion.

Anneli lives in Marin County with her husband, Kevin of 30 years.  Nicolas, her son is a passionate filmmaker and lives in Los Angeles.  She considers hiking, yoga, meditation, cooking, friends and family her grounding in this life.
