Annika Raithby

Annika Raithby is a group facilitator who is passionate about supporting and educating people to be more connected to themselves, their friends, and their family. She believes that this kind of personal development work is necessary to help people feel more of themselves, expand their passions and make an impact in their lives and the world around them.

Annika studied Child and Youth Care at Vancouver Island University and trained extensively at The Haven, on Gabriola, from a young age. Her knowledge and experience greatly inspired her interest in working with young people and families.   She also loves hands-on creativity.   She trained to be a professional hair and makeup artist, working in film and television, and as a highly esteemed stylist.  She loves this creative outlet as a way of connecting with others.

Annika has created and lead personal development programs and training programs around Canada, Russia and China, and is excited to continue online.
