I’m Anna Karuna Egan
I’m a therapist, yoga teacher, and meditation guide. I completed my Master’s degree in Counselling, psychotherapy, and spirituality at Saint Paul University in Ottawa Ontario. Before my career in mental health, I spent more than a decade living in Nepal practicing and studying contemplative traditions.
My therapeutic philosophy is rooted in the belief that every individual possesses innate wisdom and compassion, which can serve as powerful catalysts for personal transformation. Through a combination of talk therapy, mindfulness, and body-focused approaches, I help my clients reconnect with their inner resources, fostering awareness, relational intelligence, and spiritual depth.
Specializing in mindfulness, trauma recovery, and relational therapy, I am committed to creating a safe and supportive space where you can explore your inner landscape, heal past wounds, and cultivate a deeper sense of meaning in your life.
I am registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). My registration number is 17088. As a qualifying member of the college, I work with a supervisor. Sara Warren is my supervisor, who is specialized in trauma-informed care. Marlise Meilan is my supervisor, specialized in contemplative therapy and relationships

“All things move and change and are impermanent like clouds;
They may be likened to a flash of lightning.
They are like a dewdrop on a blade of grass, and deceptive like an empty fist;
They have no essence and no self, and lack intrinsic existence in every way.”
- The Buddha
