Anna has been practicing for the last 11 years alongside her teaching practice. Creating Stella's Light Healing has allowed Anna to work with a variety of people.
Stella's Light Healing is an intrinsic part of Anna’s identity. During Anna’s trip back to her mother country she had learned that healing and intuition were passed from her grandparents on both sides of the family to her. Anna is honoured that she gets to share her abilities with those that come to see her.

With my intuition I approach each healing session in a unique way by reading the client's energy. The healing room is an intimate space filled with crystals, plants, a sprinkle of colour, light and love, dedicated in making you feel at home and comfortable. If you have any questions about any of the healing treatments on offer please do not hesitate to contact me via email, phone or text.
A little bit about our practitioner Anna
Reiki Healer, Spiritual Mentor & Meditation Teacher – Thornbury
Can you share your journey with your modality?
Anna’s journey into energy healing and spiritual wellbeing began in the winter of 2006, when she was introduced to Peter Adherne through a mutual friend. Peter became both a close friend and a spiritual mentor, guiding Anna to deepen her spiritual awareness through meditation, intuitive development, and energy exercises that continue to shape her daily practice.
Before Peter’s passing in 2009, he inspired Anna to strengthen her intuition and trust her connection to healing energy. In honour of his legacy, Anna chose Reiki healing as her primary modality — a practice centred on working with pure universal energy to support balance, growth, and self-awareness.
Today, Anna uses Reiki and intuitive guidance to support those who wish to help themselves heal, empowering clients to reconnect with their inner wisdom, restore energetic balance, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
In three words, what makes your modality special?
Empowerment. Energised. Compassion.
Do you have a personal meditation practice?
Yes. Anna practices daily meditation, beginning each day with a 5–10 minute body and energy check-in before getting out of bed. This practice allows her to calm the mind, connect with her spiritual guides, and begin the day grounded and centred.
Trained by her mentors Peter and Joanne, Anna learned how to open and close meditation circles and guide others to connect with their own intuitive awareness. She now teaches spiritual meditation classes in honour of her mentors and leads the popular Thursday meditation sessions at Thornbury Apothecary.
What can clients expect from a session?
Reiki Healing Session
During a Reiki healing session in Thornbury, clients remain fully clothed and lie comfortably on a massage table, covered with a blanket for warmth. Soft meditative music plays to support relaxation and mental clarity.
Anna gently guides you through a meditative journey into your personal “sacred space,” allowing your nervous system to settle. She then places her hands lightly over your chakra energy centres, supporting energetic clearing and balance.
Crystals are placed over the chakras to help cleanse the aura, while Tesla purple plates beneath the blanket assist in creating a supportive positive energy field. The session concludes with an energetic check-in, leaving clients feeling grounded, calm, and rebalanced.
Ear Candling Therapy
As part of Anna’s ear candling sessions, she begins by checking the ears with an otoscope. You’ll then lie comfortably on a massage table, resting on one side.
Anna uses certified organic, TGA-registered ear candles, approximately 40cm long and 1cm in diameter. Once placed securely and lit, the candle creates a gentle warmth and subtle vacuum effect. Clients often notice a soothing sensation, along with soft crackling or hissing sounds from the natural materials.
The ears are carefully cleaned and checked again at the end of the session, supporting a sense of lightness, clarity, and relaxation.
