About Anna
About
Anna Jane Wilson
I have overtime self-published three books, A Leap of Faith (2011), An Artists Story (2013), and Pandoras Box (2017). I am also a wife, mother, and since 2018, co-director of my husband’s cooking school, a professional Michelin Star Chef…lucky me!
UK born, as Anna Jane Wilson, in my early twenties and without permanent abode, I travelled and worked as fashion model, residing in Paris, France, Barcelona, Spain and London, UK. I have lived and crossed many a turbulent water and today reside in Melbourne Australia with my family. I have experienced and overcome abandonment, bulimia, domestic violence, child loss, single parenting, narcissistic relations, PTSD post traumatic stress, severe endometriosis & chronic pain…. all of which make me who I was and who I am today!
After meeting my husband almost ten years ago, and becoming a wife & Mrs Anna Jane Trupp, it was then, my journey from ground up, transitioned into an apparent acceptable status within society. So ironic and wrong is the concept of status acceptability, I ask myself today, was I more real then, than I am today?
Now in my early 50’s, I am turning my energy inwards once more towards my passions for art and writing with a new blog and the early stages of a new book, titled, I Am, I Was.
I am today my own version of Anna Jane!
The beginning of Leap of Faith Wellness
More about Anna
At the age of thirty- three, I took my own Leap of Faith after the birth and death of my first born. On the day of my baby boy’s cremation, I took a piece of paper and scribbled, “Leap of Faith Wellness….worldwide” and painted my Leap of Faith flower logo. That was some time ago now!
A Journey into Creativity
Untrained in art or creative writing, creativity became my voice as I navigated my way through the stages of grief, writing and painting intuitively away from my previous left-brain dominant existence.
This became and remains a healthy resource to me for self-expression & healing.
My Leap of Faith
My first book A leap Faith is like an autobiography written in rhythmic prose/ poetry. My first prose titled, Energy, which I absolutely love the vibration of, I wrote at the age of 21. It speaks of mastering your energy! I wrote this whilst experiencing an overbearing urge to purge after a telephone call with my father. He had abandoned me three years back shortly after I turned 18 years of age.
During my 20’s, and without a permanent abode, I travelled a lot working as a fashion model around Europe and spent time living in Barcelona, Spain, Paris, France and my birth town of London, UK. Each of my prose expresses a sentiment I felt at the time of its writing, my love, my hate, my mental debate, my questions, my yearnings for love, my battle within, my view of the world, its ego, its pain, and its suffering.
Later on in my early thirties, during my pregnancy and after the loss of my first child, my writings poured and in 2006 at the age of 34, I concluded the final writings of my first publication, A Leap of Faith.
My second publication, An Artists Story, concluded shortly after my first, conveys emotion through the medium of colour using acrylic paints and is a compilation of around 60 art pieces as well as writings.
Pandoras Box
My third publication, I commenced writing in 2014 and self-published in 2017. Titled, Pandora’s Box; The Call for Regulation & Bringing Back Hope this book is of a completely different genre and in part a reflection and result of my life experience nine years post my Leap of Faith during which time I became a director of a Wellness Centre for healing. It was then I entered a false world of New Age and spiritual healing within our society as we know it.
In Pandoras box, I present how and why regulation and education is imperative for the industry of healing, spiritual and psychic practices, how to identify & sift out the charlatans and most importantly, how the New Age Industry of healing may continue in a manner that is duty of care applied.
Today, I am older, wiser, and now ready to embark once more onto my own path in human potential, this time with the wisdom of experience on my side which I am excited to share with you today!
With love
Anna Jane xx
