Our Approach
Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
Our minds and bodies are connected. If our mind is always in and out of intense negative emotions, it causes problems for our body, such as poor health, poor focus and judgement, anxiety, and constant mood swings.
This affects five major areas of our lives: family, relationships, work and career, finances and home.
If we can control our reactions to these major emotions, we can calm our mind, break the cycle of mood swings and inner conflicts, and improve both our mental and our physical wellbeing.
At AnnapurnaBlue, we work with these major emotions. Some are obvious; some not. We teach you to identify the triggers of these negative emotions so you can stop their negative impact on your life. Then, we help you learn how to replace these negative emotions into a positive and calm emotion.
It is then that we are able to help bring back a healthy mind, body and spirit. We are able to manage our health and mental wellbeing in a positive way. We can improve the five major areas of our lives. And you can share the tools you learn with your family, friends, and co-workers.

Our Story
AnnapurnaBlue's founders, met during a healing retreat years ago. Both had extensive studies in healing with Eastern culture and Western modalities. They delved deeply into the healing and meditation practices of an 18,000-year-old Tibetan spiritual tradition, Yungdrung Bon, gaining profound insights from Bon Geshes and monks.
Motivated by their shared vision, they decided to create a health and wellness center to be of service to others. Their research journey took them to Nepal, where they sought guidance from Tibetan Geshes on the practices of healing.
During this trip to Nepal, they felt a strong sense of facing fears and healing through overcoming their fears. They took the trip to Annapurna Base Camp. For Deborah, with all her many adventures, she never felt such a peaceful and humbling experience. She knew then Annapurna would be her paradigm for accepting and overcoming challenges in life
Thus, AnnapurnaBlue Health and Wellness was created, to bring the healing wisdom from both cultures. To help people all around the world realize they can make changes in their lives, face and remove obstacles, live a more balanced life, and thereby find peace, harmony and a balanced wellbeing.
