TESTIMONIALS

“Empower me to exercise the authority of honesty, and be a participant in the difficult [sacred] ordinariness of now.” Ted Loder  (insert by Ann-Marie Ahye)

“I like to joke that Ann-Marie keeps me upright! She is a very special teacher and healer who helps me nurture self-awareness and calm. She supports me in unlocking and feeling my emotions, understanding their roots, and ultimately, letting go of what no longer serves me. This Inner Work is beyond talk therapy which I am familiar with. As a result, I have experienced growing self-love, trust and worth, less reactivity, and a deepening connection to my authentic self, in a way that I have never known.”      Shannon M, Toronto

“Working with Ann-Marie has truly been life-changing. I found her during one of the darkest times in my life where I was navigating a heartbreak that left my self-worth in pieces. Over the past three to four years, I’ve not only rebuilt my confidence, but also uncovered and started healing deeper traumas I hadn’t even realized were there. I used to think therapy was only for people who were “really messed up.” That perspective has completely shifted. I now believe that anyone can experience profound growth, healing, and inner harmony through this kind of work, and especially with someone as gifted and compassionate as Ann-Marie. Thank you for everything!” Kenzie T, Sayulita Mexico

“I’ve known Ann‑Marie for over 30 years, and I can say with certainty—she’s the real deal. In a world full of quick fixes and shiny spiritual marketing, she stands apart. She doesn’t teach from borrowed knowledge or promise magical outcomes. She lives what she shares. Her work is rooted in integrity, not performance; presence, not posturing.

Ann‑Marie aligns with the truth of Being—not chasing. Her commitment to authenticity over hype, and her unwavering clarity in the face of trends, have been a quiet anchor for so many of us. If you’re looking for the kind of guidance that emerges from real practice, lived insight, and deep inner listening—this is it.” Joanne J, London, UK

“Ann-Marie offers a softness and ritual in her yoga and meditation. I understood from her that a state of calm and peace can be cultivated through practice. Her teaching was one which led me to glimpse for the first time how working with and staying with emotions allows us to transcend and mature those emotions. Self study is an essential part of Ann-Marie’s work.” Kim L, Nanaimo, VI

“Ann-Marie is authentic. Her yoga retreats are both relaxing and challenging. Her meditation work is not simplistic or “new age”, rather contemplative and intimate. I would highly recommend Ann-Marie and endorse any of her current and future endeavours.” Victoria B, Toronto

“So appreciated the opportunity to just BE with you in the class and let your mellifluous and heartfelt words empower my body, mind and soul. You are so talented at what you do. I am always honoured and grateful to be your student. Thank you for making the learning curve surmountable and recognizing the courage it takes to be on it. Love” – Lenore, NYC

“You know the feeling that you get from an excellent yoga class or spa treatment? When your body feels incredibly good—so relaxed that it has an otherworldly sensation to it? That is the experience I had while taking a Mindful Yoga class with Ranch guest presenter, Ann-Marie Ahye. Her class was so soothing that I absolutely had to learn more about her philosophy on mindfulness, yoga, and how to recreate the ultra-serene state of bliss I achieved on the mat.  I loved your Yoga Class” – Gretta Perlmutter, Rancho La Puerta, Mexico

“What a blessing it was to be led by you in this Workshop. My spirit had a sense that it would be a turning point for me and that prescience proved correct.

Just the act of slowing down and taking notice of myself brought me to tears. As I write to you now the tears return and with a surge of gratitude too. How beautiful to reconnect with oneself in a meaningful way. So often we reach for a glass of wine or a movie to immerse ourselves in, to forget, and suspend the chatter in our minds and to qualm our fears. They are only a temporary distraction though. They do not restore. You return to the world feeling no more energized and you pick up your burdens just where you left them.

Not so in your workshop. I came in with unexplained pains in my left hip and ankle that were plaguing me for weeks. By the next day they had dramatically improved. I felt my breathing restricted and my abdomen tight and then came an immediate softening. The release was both physical and spiritual. I have remembered these past days to be kinder to and with myself and I am liking me so much more.

I also purchased your Cd Travelling Inward and was so pleased to enjoy the benefit of your guidance even while you are a continent away. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.” – Tracy, Trinidad
