WHEN THEY TOLD ME TO FIGHT CANCER, I DANCED INSTEAD.
Nine years later, I'm teaching others how to dance through surgery, crisis, and every challenge that tries to dim their aliveness. At 3 AM, alone in my bedroom , facing a "minor surgical" procedure to remove a breast lesion (BRCA1 triple-negative breast cancer), I made a choice that saved my life:
Instead of fighting, I danced. That dance became my metaphor. My rebellion. My revolution.
Today, I help others discover their own dance—whether they're facing surgery, searching for purpose at any age, or simply tired of existing instead of LIVING. Welcome to The Al!veness Revolution, where age is irrelevant, creativity is healing, and you become the artist of your life.
PRAISE FOR ANNE

Our sessions have left me enlightened, hopeful, and excited to focus on what I will do next in becoming my most fulfilled self.

What if life itself is your greatest creative canvas? What if every moment—whether making breakfast, walking into surgery, or entering a new decade—could be infused with intention, artistry, and wonder? For the last four decades, I’ve witnessed the transformation that’s possible when we stop fearing and fighting the natural changes of life and start expressing aliveness. Daily life becomes a living laboratory, where your body is a vessel of higher consciousness and your years fuel evolution. Creativity isn’t reserved for galleries—it’s how we choose to live. And my goal for you is that you discover just how creative you are and how exciting your lived experience can be!
Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself. How do we stay vibrant and alive, engaged and creative, as we age? How do we master the ART of AL!VENESS?
The Art of Al!veness with Annie B features interviews, tips, and tools with world renown "creators" to access the artist within you, providing a unique and provocative perspective on the natural life process we all share - aging.
