Ana Barner was born in 1956 in Northern Germany. After studying Psychology and Social Work in the Netherlands she traveled and lived in Israel, Asia, India and the States. From 1980 to 1985 she became involved in a psycho/spiritual community in India and the USA. Throughout those years she explored and was trained in different therapeutic modalities: co-counselling, radical therapy, rebirthing, hypnotherapy, encounter groups, primal and a variety of meditation techniques.

Moving to Australia in 1985, Ana became involved in Voice Dialogue and helped organise Drs Hal and Sidra Stone's first tour in Australia. Since then Ana has been training and working with Hal and Sidra as a senior staff member in Australia and overseas. She started the Sydney Voice Dialogue Centre and took Voice Dialogue to New Zealand.

Ana now lives in Northern New South Wales. She teaches Voice Dialogue workshops and trainings and is available for individual and couples sessions, professional supervision and telephone consultations. Her specialty is relationship issues and connecting soul and personality.

Ana's growing interest in the transpersonal aspect of Voice Dialogue has prompted her to set up Transpersonal Dialogue International. Her main passion is to introduce Transpersonal Dialogue as a tool that can create a link between the personality and essence, providing an opportunity to infuse daily life with awareness and presence.

Ana loves traveling and teaching nationally and internationally. She regularly travels to New Zealand and Germany and would be happy to be invited to where you are. Please refer to her seminar page for her current international schedule.
