Ann Dressah is a trauma-informed Life Coach, NLP Practitioner and Coach, Time Line Therapy® Practitioner, adult educator, published author and founder of My Sacred Purpose.
Based in Ireland, Ann supports adult women who appear capable and self-sufficient yet find themselves self-silencing, people-pleasing, over-functioning or struggling to maintain boundaries in emotionally charged relationships. Her work helps women recognise the protective patterns shaping their responses, reconnect with their needs and inner voice, and build greater self-trust, choice and authentic expression.
Her non-clinical, educational approach combines Life Coaching, Neuro-Linguistic Programming and Time Line Therapy® with reflective learning, nervous-system awareness and practical self-regulation tools. She works with care, consent and respect for each client’s pace, supporting personal development without diagnosing or treating mental-health conditions.
Ann holds a QQI Level 6 Special Purpose Award in Training and Development, alongside practitioner-level qualifications in NLP, NLP Coaching, Time Line Therapy® and trauma-informed coaching. She is also the author of Lilith, Then Light: Rage, Rebirth and Sacred Voice and The Wealth Awakening.
Through online individual sessions, group programmes and educational resources, Ann creates structured, supportive spaces where women can move from automatic self-abandonment towards clearer boundaries, stronger self-trust and a voice that feels genuinely their own.
- Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)Co-founded by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in the 1970’s, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) enables us to understand how our brain processes the words we use and how that can effect our programming and behaviour. Engaging various tools and techniques, practitioners support clients with re-programming their neurology, language and actions. Rather than allowing thoughts to be passive, NLP techniques help to look at thoughts, feelings and emotions as things that can be controlled. Techniques can include things such as Imagery Training, NLP Swish, Modelling, Mirroring, and Incantations.
- NLP CoachingNeuro Linguistic Programming Coaching supports clients to access their dormant potential and achieve more in life. NLP Coaches are trained to detect minute clues in facial expressions, tone of voice, and expressions to uncover limiting beliefs and behaviours. Practitioners support their clients to set goals, break addictive habits, improve performance, and transform their relationships.
- Time Line Therapy®Founded by Tad James Co. in 1986, Time Line Therapy® is the latest development in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). Time Line Therapy® techniques utilize a person’s own internal “Time Line” to work with their unconscious minds in a variety of ways; including, healing emotional traumas and eradicating unwanted thoughts, emotions and behaviours. A person's “Time Line” is how they unconsciously store their memories or how they unconsciously know the difference between a memory from the past and a projection of the future. Behavioural change in an individual takes place at an unconscious level. The Time Line Therapy® techniques allow people to work at the unconscious level and release the effects of past negative experiences and change “inappropriate” programming in minutes rather than days, months or years.
