A modern bridge between the mainstream and the mystical, Annie Burnside, M.Ed., is a soul nurturer, author, public speaker and teacher specializing in conscious relationships and spiritual development. As a soul nurturer, she helps others awaken to their own personal truths by providing spiritual support and encouragement while offering tools to balance their inner world with the exterior world. Burnside's teachings inspire others to reconnect with their spirit and listen to the voice of their own soul so that direct divine connection can become fully accessible within daily reality. Her open, gentle approach encompasses all spiritual paths.
Burnside became especially interested in working with other parents on a spiritual level as she began to remind her own children of their divine nature. Her passion for spiritual development/authentic living drives her work. The author's mission is to inspire raised consciousness in individuals families around the world by reminding them that they are above all else creative, intuitive, eternal, infinite, energy beings who can consciously create their own reality if they choose to do so. This realization empowers all individuals, families and communities to lead more authentic lives enabling them to more easily align with their highest potential. It is her perspective that greater intimacy with the voice of the soul leads to living truthfully and will change our world.
Burnside received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology from DePauw University and her Masters degree in Education from DePaul University. She taught fourth and fifth grades in Evanston, Illinois before becoming a full-time stay-at-home mom and soul nurturer to her three children now aged fourteen, thirteen and ten.
Twenty years ago Burnside began her own personal growth journey. Due to her passion for conscious relationships and spiritual development, as well as her longtime study of metaphysics, others began to seek her out as a teacher inviting her to give lectures and workshops on spirituality. She created a spiritual support practice in 2005. Soul to Soul Parenting is Burnside's first book. Beyond workshops and working one-on-one with clients, she writes a family consciousness column for Evolving Your Spirit Magazine and blogs for the Chicago Tribune Media Company under Soul to Soul Perspective: A Little Bit of Soul Goes a Long Way. She also hosts a radio show for the "I Am Thankful Network." Burnside draws inspiration from her own spiritual journey, her work as a soul nurturer, and her experiences sharing life with her own children. She lives in Chicago, Illinois with her husband and three children. www.annieburnside.com
