When loss breaks you open
Hope can feel impossible…
Collecting Hope
When grief, loss and big life transitions break you open, restoring your sense of hope can feel impossible.
At Collecting Hope, we help people navigate the emotional and energetic up’s and down’s surrounding grief, loss and big life transitions.
Through traditional counseling and subtle energy rebalancing, we help humans move through their healing journey.
At Collecting Hope, we aren’t trying to force “healing” or “happiness”- instead, we strive to help you regain hope (on your own schedule).

Loss of a Loved One
The pain of losing someone is more than just emotional, it lives in your energy field. The heaviness this creates can make it feel impossible to reconnect on a spirit-to-spirit level with loved ones who’ve passed on. These sessions are designed to lighten your energy load and restore your natural ability to reconnect with loved ones who’ve passed on.

Divorce & Relationship Endings
When a relationship ends, the energetic cords and spiritual agreements don't just disappear. In our work together, we can look at the greater spiritual purpose behind the beginning and ending of your marriage or relationship and help to move any subtle energies preventing you from engaging more fully in the present moment.

Major Life Transitions
Moving, career changes, becoming an empty nester; sometimes a shift in life circumstances creates an energetic disruption that leaves you feeling untethered. In our work together we can stabilize your subtle energy body and look at your next steps from an empowered place. You don’t have to take these big steps alone.

Prolonged Grief
Grieving for months or years and nothing seems to help? It's often because the energetic component hasn't been addressed. In our healing work together we can release old, stuck energy, preventing you from living in your most powerful and authentic state. Choosing healing, doesn’t mean forgetting the past, it just means engaging more fully in the present.

Sudden Life Changes
When life changes without warning—job loss, health crisis, unexpected upheaval—your energy system can go into shock. We can working collaboratively with your subtle energy body to restore you to your baseline and help get you to a place where you feel at-home in yourself again.
Welcome, I’m honored you’re here.
My name is Anna Long-Stokes and for years, I’ve worked as a licensed clinical social worker and an energy worker. After years of providing counseling and energy therapy across the spectrum, I felt called to create a comprehensive online hub for those going through some of life’s most difficult transitions.
Collecting Hope is unique because we bridge traditional therapy with energy healing to provide whole-human support during the loss journey. While there is likely an emotional component that needs processing, there are also energetic and spiritual components that need processing as well. At Collecting Hope, we honor the blending of these modalities.
My clients have often spent time processing their situation with trusted advisors, friends or therapists, but they’re still experiencing confusion or hopelessness and want to find their way back to a place where hope is possible again.

"Hello Anna - checking in to tell you that I’ve been feeling light & peaceful! It’s such a remarkable turnaround. Amazing what you all did. I’m esp feeling peaceful about my deceased husband. I know he is also at peace in whatever form he’s taken & I feel much more serene about him. I miss him terribly but I’m not in turmoil & shedding the guilt. Thank you for your help & support, dear Anna, I’m just so glad we met."

"My session with Anna was powerful - something I’ve never experienced before. Anna was able to tap into and shed light on hidden parts of me that I had not allowed myself to fully step into. Her insight is moving, instantly taking a weight off my chest both physically with her energy shifting magic, as well as mentally. The session has left me with a sense of delight and determination, alongside some areas of improvement that I can work on myself."
