Anna Fleming had an upbringing based on service and being hospitable to others, so her curiosity led her to explore pathways in the helping professions. A chance opportunity in social work, allowed her to grow her skills and eventually led her to retrain in psychotherapy. Now fully qualified, Anna practices as a psychotherapist and actively champions Māori mental health and wellbeing.
