We had the good fortune of connecting with Anna Mana Ra and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Anna, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
The most important factor behind my success, has definitely been my practice of mindfulness. Having a healthy mindfulness practice, has provided me with the opportunities to believe in myself and therefore invest in my CHOSEN future. It has also allowed me to live in the frequency of Abundance in all areas of my life, and probably most importantly, I am able to heal myself and deepen my relationship with myself.

What should our readers know about your business?
Higher Heart Healing was a concept that came to me out of a deep place of healing, as I began to completely re-create my own life after several major “pivot points” (I define pivot points as major life redirections like a divorce, a near death experience, or some profound event that leaves you forever changed).

It has been quite a journey into personal development to own my own business for the first time in this life, and one where I really learned so much about the person I am today. You really do find yourself in times of vulnerability and absence of a foundation–so that you can rebuild and discover what you want and need from your life.

My background like many others who came before me in the healing arts was totally different than what I am doing now. After graduating from CSU with a business degree in Business Administration and a minor in Family Sciences, I started going down the corporate route and took series of middle management positions in the commercial real estate and telecom industries. After staying home to raise my children for a decade or so, I started to take courses in interior design and opened up my first residential design firm back in 2016.

Then, everything changed and I had a total redirection in the metaphysical, with my first kundalini awakening (google this). After that, there was no going back, and my healing journey of all the past wounds and traumas of my lifetimes began to show themselves to me.

Since then, I have taken and will continue to take many different classes, certifications, and a commitment to heal myself and expand my knowledge base in study with self development books, retreats, writing and affirmation work. To better myself for my clients and learn more as it comes!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Some of my favorite secret spots Tucson has to offer, include The Century Club downtown for great jazz, Obon Sushi first for great rolls. If you fancy more of the local “dive bar” scene, try stopping in to The Shelter Bar–which will take you back in time to the ’60s and try pool at the Red Garter.

My husband and I love riding his Harley up to Sedona for a romantic getaway!

There are a lot of great places to try out here in Tucson.

I also walk on the loop almost everyday for 4 miles, grabbing breakfast afterwards at Red Coffeehouse in St. Philips Plaza.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would definitely love the opportunity to give a very special shoutout to my mentor and healer, Brenda Tringali. Over the past 6 years, she and I have developed a strong, intimate, and fulfilling relationship that has had major impact over all the areas in my own healing journey.

I also would love to share a few of the trusted channelers I have used as my own Spiritual Teachers along my awakening journey that include: Nora Herold, Lee Harris, Wendy Fournier, Louise Hay, Dr. David Hawking, and Steffie Funk.

Each of these individuals above in some profound way, expanded my awareness, taught me something about myself and allowed my own metaphysical gifts to come forward and ultimately, heal the world.

And I would like to thank my husband who makes me feel seen, heard, loved, and adored. Thank you Kevin.

I am forever grateful for all they have shared with me and will share in the future.
