Ms. Ana earned her B.F.A in acting from the University of Illinois in Urbana, Champaign where she studied performance in both music and theater. She has been a part of Musikgarten (and now HeartGarden) family for over 20 years, having watched her mom’s vision grow from its very early dreaming stages to the amazing program it is today. As a teacher, Ana is passionate about instilling compassion, courage and creativity in the hearts of little ones. She believes in the curriculum at Musikgarten and even more so the values-based enrichment that her mother has woven in. When not teaching music to little ones Ms. Ana spends much of her time in the health and wellness world, as an internationally certified health coach (at Heartful Health) and a continuing student of herbal medicine. She believes good health and a compassionate relationship with one another and the earth are the bases for a creative, loving, and purposeful life.
