Hi! I'm Dr. Anna Skaggs, a coach, physical therapist and your M&M blog author. I live at the base of a 14-thousand foot peak and I love scampering about the mountains.

I'm interested in helping people push beyond their current boundaries in their body, mind, and soul in order to truly expand and create what they want.

My hope is that my writing offers a new perspective or tid-bit to contemplate to make your little piece of the world better.

If you think a friend might enjoy reading a post, do them a favor and share it with them.

Enjoy!

Thanks for your interest in Mountains & Motion!
