Conversations with Ann Shivas

Today we’d like to introduce you to Ann Shivas. They and their team shared their story with us below:

Ann is a farm girl, born and raised, and enjoys experiencing all nature has to offer. Her early involvement in sports led her to pursue her dream of becoming a professional soccer player. After facing two knee surgeries, she decided to hang up the boots and commence a more profound journey of self-discovery.  Educationally, she received her Bachelor’s in Arts, holds a Master of Teaching, and later pursued a Diploma of Osteopathy. Subsequently, she continued her studies in Epigenetics and Quantum Wave Living.

Through her ten years of work with clinical, private clients, groups, and corporations globally, she realized that people live with more capacity when they decide to do the inner work and be accountable. This is where Life Lift was born. The purpose is to aid individuals in self-growth through understanding their bodies, relationships, and energy.

Ann’s Grandmother played a role in her achievements. She always told her, ‘You can be whatever you want.’ Wise words for the younger version of Ann. With profound gratitude to her Grandma, she was right—we can transform our past patterns into new ones
as we choose.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Starting a new business has been quite the journey, fraught with challenges, but one thing has remained clear throughout listening to the needs of people. Recognizing a significant gap in the market, I set out to create a business dedicated to helping individuals truly understand themselves. After all, self-knowledge is the cornerstone of longevity, precisely what people are yearning for. With this understanding, I committed to mastering the necessary tools and skills to deliver on this vision.

Now, I find immense fulfillment in aiding people from all corners of the globe, both online and in person. Witnessing their growth and transformation firsthand is a testament to the power of self-discovery and its impact on one’s life.

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
Life is a wild journey. Mine has been nothing short of an adventure, and I’ve seen myself as a bit of a Health Entrepreneur along the way. It’s funny how personal struggles can spark the most innovative ideas. See, in my younger days, I wasn’t exactly the poster child for healthy living. We live, and we learn, right?

In my twenties, I stumbled upon the concept of Personalized Health, and let me tell you, it blew my mind. Incorporating this into my practice transformed my well-being and how I connected with and understood others. My clinical work flourished, but something didn’t quite add up when I peeked at the stats: 85% of folks were grappling with issues in their relationships and work or just lacked the skills to connect. That’s when it hit me—I needed to dive deeper into the art of building meaningful connections in business and personal life.

But the real game-changer came when I embarked on an internal quest for wisdom. Picture this: me, on a four-year journey with a mentor in Hawaii, delving into the nitty-gritty of my belief systems and how they shape my reality. Mind. Blown. Turns out, our beliefs are like the architects of our lives, crafting every move we make. It was eye-opening. I hadn’t realized how much my environment had molded me until I started peeling back those layers with my teacher.

Those transformative studies gave me the guts to embrace my unique purpose. My mission is crystal clear: arm others with the tools they need to uncover their purpose and make waves in their communities. Because let’s face it, that’s how we spark the global change we crave.

Can you talk to us about how you think about risk?
I’ve always been a bit of a risk-taker in athletics. There’s just something so satisfying about pushing my physical and mental limits against the backdrop of some of Mother Nature’s most breathtaking creations. Take, for instance, my escapades on Mount Cook in New Zealand and Kjeragbolten in Norway—now those were some risky hikes!

Scaling those challenging peaks was no walk in the park, but oh, the feeling of accomplishment when I reached the summit! Moments like those remind me of the sheer power of the human spirit and our ability to conquer the seemingly impossible.

But it’s not just about the adrenaline rush; it’s also about immersing myself in the beauty of our world. Each new trail, each towering peak, offers a chance to explore, discover, and connect with something greater than myself. And that, my friends, is the true essence of adventure.

Life has a funny way of throwing us curveballs. Just like on those unpredictable hikes where you never quite know what you’ll encounter, my journey in business has had its fair share of ups and downs. But here’s the thing: I’ve seen those bumps in the road as invaluable learning opportunities.

Take, for instance, the time I set out to buy a house in New Zealand. I thought I had all my ducks in a row, but little did I know I was about to be blindsided. I fell victim to a scam, losing all my hard-earned money for the downpayment. It was a gut-wrenching experience—one that shook me to my core.

What hurt the most wasn’t just the financial loss but the betrayal of trust. I had put my faith in the person I was dealing with and the system itself, only to be disappointed. This is where I went deeper into myself, my values, and my beliefs. I came out of that experience with a newfound sense of resilience.

From that day forward, I approached my business ventures with a different mindset. I became more discerning about who I surrounded myself with, understanding the power of aligning myself with trustworthy individuals. It was a lesson in maturity, resilience, and the importance of gracefully navigating life’s twists and turns. So, while that experience gave me life-changing moments, it also taught me one of the most valuable lessons I can rebuild: to trust and value myself and follow my intuition.
