About Anna
About
Anna Jane Wilson
At 53, I am a mother and wife who loves to paint, write, and encourage a path towards human potential. I blend creativity with care, spirituality with practical insight, and art with everyday life.
For the past decade, since 2016, I have been on hiatus from my creative work, focusing instead on my husband’s career as a Michelin-starred chef and on raising a family. My next book, a memoir titled I AM I WAS, began in 2024. Now that it is complete, I am seeking an agent, then a publisher!
From corporate to creative
In 2005, at 33, I left the corporate world to let my creative self take centre stage after the passing of my firstborn. As part of my Leap of Faith, I purchased a New Age Wellness Centre (2006-2015) that offered Reiki healings, professional massage, and psychic clairvoyant readings. My background as a fashion model and hospitality professional has given me a broad range of life and business experiences, along with a passion for travel and connection.
Books and bold beginnings
My previous self-published books include A Leap of Faith (2011), An Artist’s Story (2013), and Pandora’s Box (2017). My first two books were written during a grief-induced spiritual awakening following the loss of my firstborn. When I purchased the New Age Wellness centre in my locality, I encountered godless manipulators who spoiled the ground for human growth and potentiality. After nine years of interviewing and recruiting New Age Therapists, including psychics, and witnessing psychic phenomena, I wrote Pandora’s Box.
Pandora’s Box: The Call for Regulation and Bringing Back Hope explores psychic practices, mental health, and the need for responsible regulation, reflecting on the need for safe practices and boundaries within an unregulated industry with so much potential.
Today and beyond
After raising a family and taking time to recover from severe PTSD, it’s time for me to once more expand into everything creative! Art, writing, blogging and more books! First, my memoir, I AM I WAS.

More about Anna, taking a Leap of Faith & Pandora's Box
A Leap of Faith Wellness: A Journey into Creativity, Healing, and Insight
At thirty-three, following the birth and loss of my firstborn, I took a Leap of Faith. On my baby boy’s cremation day, I wrote a note on a scrap of paper: “Leap of Faith Wellness… worldwide,” and I painted my Leap of Faith flower logo. That moment marked the start of a transformative journey.
A Journey into Creativity
In the depths of grief, I felt God. I expanded within, through writing and painting, moving away from my former left-brain, task-focused life. Creativity became my healthy outlet for self-expression and healing.
My Leap of Faith
My poetic writings and intuitively painted art pieces later became my first two self-published books. Completed by 2008, I later published my poetry in A Leap of Faith (2011) and my art in An Artist’s Story- Self-Love and Loving Your Inner Child. (2013)
In 2006, I took a Leap of Faith by taking over a New Age Wellness Centre with a bookshop in my locality, selling my two books to customers and hanging my art in the art gallery. However, shortly after the takeover, in 2007, I fell victim to a psychic charlatan. Three years later, a major police investigation reveals a pattern of psychic and metaphysical harm linking accumulating similarities across the other victims’ accounts.
Pandoras Box
In 2014, I began writing Pandora’s Box, and self-published in 2017. I then experienced severe PTSD and chronic pain. This work marks a shift in genre and is born of nearly a decade of experience after my Leap of Faith. By then, I had become a director of a wellness centre for healing and encountered the complexities of the New Age and spiritual healing landscape.
Pandora’s Box explores:
- Why regulation and education are essential in the healing, spiritual, and psychic industries
- How to identify and sift out charlatans
- How a responsible, wisdom-based approach to healing can honour duty of care while allowing genuine growth
Today I am wiser and more aligned with my path in human potential. I bring the wisdom of lived experience to share with you, inviting you to explore healing, creativity, and practical pathways toward well-being. My memoir, I AM I WAS, is written, and I am in the process of acquiring an agent and publisher.
With love
Anna Jane xx
