"Ann, you have a wonderful gift for gently and considerately helping a person identify exactly how they can improve their wellbeing,  confidence and approach to life. You have found a beautiful way of sharing your gift and your knowledge and this has released me from a debilitating habit. I cannot thank you enough. I have a new voice, a new approach to life and a new love, Doodling. Thank you XX " Helen (U.K)

Hi, I am Ann The Heartworker, a life coach and doodle advocate. I am passionate about helping you remember that you are a COMPASSIONATE, CREATIVE AND COURAGEOUS human being, worthy of living an inspired and meaningful life!

"Working with Ann has been nothing short of life-changing. Through working with her I have been able to dream and allow that dream to change over time. I have discovered more of who I am and what I truly value in life. Ann's guidance and gentle meditation prompts have caused me to have many ah-ha moments over the past few months and those ah-ha moments have transformed into actionable steps that I can take to lead the kind of life I have always wanted.

About The Heartworker's Way 

The Heartworker’s Way is a transformative process that guides you from a state of lack to one of love, using kindness, curiosity and presence as its core principles.

Through a combination of coaching, guided contemplation, and heartwork journaling, The Heartworker's Way fosters self-discovery and personal growth. The process opens you up to your innate compassion, creativity, and courage, empowering you to make meaningful changes in your life.

Why Doodling?

Why Doodling? Doodling is a simple, yet powerful heartwork journaling tool. It calms your overthinking brain and opens your loving heart, enabling deep listening to your true inner voice.

Using pictures rather than words activates a different part of the brain. It helps you process your thoughts and emotions in a gentle, playful way, offering new perspectives and clarity on what truly matters to you.

Help! I can't draw / I am not creative!!!

 Are you worried about your lack of creative ability? Fear not! No drawing skills are required. Heartwork journaling is less about artistic talent and more about immersing yourself in your heart-space. Think of it as creating ''HEARTWORK' rather than artwork. Plus, I will provide you with some basic doodle lessons to help boost your confidence and get you started!

Your Creative Facilitator

Hi! I am Ann Skinner, a heartworker and doodle advocate, coach, author, lover of life, nature, family, dogs, singing, colours, views and so much more ...

Born and bred in The Netherlands, I have traveled to many countries but my heart belongs in the UK, where I have lived for much of my adult life with my husband of 30+ years and rescue dog Honey.

Throughout my life, I have had many adventures and gained a wealth of experience in various areas of life, both in business and personal and professional development. My stubborn fascination with 'why we do what we do' has given me much insight into human nature and helped me remember that we are 'human beings' before we are 'human doings'.

I am a certified Strategic Intervention coach, Multiple Brain Integrated Training (mBIT) coach and NLP Master Practitioner as well as a CIPD trained trainer. In addition, I continue to explore different modalities, such as the application of Positive Intelligence, the 3 Principles (Mind, Thought & Consciousness) and Brain Training.

It wasn't until I discovered my innate creativity, that I realised there is another, more playful way to explore and evolve our human experience: Through THE POWER OF SELF EXPRESSION. DOODLING happens to be a simple but very effective tool accessible to all! This is how The Heartworker's Way was born.

Apart from sharing my passion and joy for coaching and doodling, I am also an Author/Illustrator.

In 2017 I published The Art of Contribution, which became a #1 seller in Amazon’s Spiritual Gift department.

In 2019, I published Annie and Eva Love Devon, which was inspired by my love of doodling, my dog Eva (RIP) and our walks around the Devonshire countryside.

a few kind words
Thank you, thank you, thank you so much!

To be honest I never expected it to be so profound.

I absolutely loved it and it definitely brought a lot of joy and opening up and gave me new tools to boost my creativity or to brainstorm with myself.

Ann is a lovely, kind, knowledgeable and caring facilitator and teacher.

I knew whatever she did, I wanted to be a part of it.

I really enjoyed the meditation process, together with doodling it's enlightening.

I also really like and appreciate the produced self-taught sessions and the soothing way Ann talks, as well as the beautiful way the online course is produced.

Hi Ann. I just want to say thank you but words don’t seem to be enough.

Your classes have brought so much light and laughter, drawing, doodling and of course love into my being and has brought me such a really good sense of wellbeing.

I hope you are feeling so much appreciation from me to you.

The programme has exceeded my expectations [...]. Overall I would say it is a beautiful healing journey, very informative, creative and encouraging and clearly created from love and joy.

It has also given me support as someone who is self employed by giving me the confirmation I need that, despite all my worries, I am on the right path.

Working with Ann has been nothing short of life-changing.  [...]

Doodling made this a more joyful, playful experience and brought this course to life for me, it helped me see what I was learning, and unlike just taking notes that I never look at again I can, and often do look back through my journal, and with just a quick glance I can remember what was taught and what I got from it." - Amy (US)

Your classes provide a space to let go of stress and are an opportunity to let creativity flow.

In addition, the themes for contemplation take you to a deeper level of healing.
