Hello
Delighted you found your way here!
I'm Anna Harvey... a lover of dark chocolate; a friend to many and a mom to one. I groove on music from the 60s & 70s 🎶as well jazz and enjoy singing in a choir. Beautiful Victoria, a beautiful city on Canada's west coast is home.
I am a Certified Retirement Coach. My work is similar to that of being a Life Coach but with a specific focus on the post-Main Career stage of life, aka "retirement."
Retirement Coaching can save you years of feeling lost and adrift. Read about what other women say about their experience here.
Specifically, I help a woman in any stage of retirement design her Next Life Chapter with confidence and clarity by re-discovering who she is, and what she wants to do and become.

My Story
I get it. You're in that in-between phase when one chapter is ending but the next hasn't yet unfolded. Uncomfortable, eh?
I've been there.
From being a wide-eyed rural Nova Scotia teenager transplanted to Montreal's downtown city life, to the newlywed who years later rebounded from divorce, I've designed and launched numerous Next Life Chapters.
Some transitions unfolded gracefully, others involved stumbling through (many!) potholes and learning crucial life lessons.
Now as I celebrate my vintage self (the woman in my mirror is the spitting image of my mother!), I realize that every chapter, joyful or challenging, has contributed great wisdom
These experiences – single, married, mother, solo; and career transitions from corporate to entrepreneur - helped to create the resilient, wiser "me" of today.
for the work I now do: helping women navigate the journey and create a thriving Next Life Chapter.
My Process
As Oprah would say, 'one thing I know for sure' is that life's creative potential is limitless.
We have, I believe, the best possible opportunity in retirement to intentionally design a vibrant, authentic 'next self’ – a retirement by conscious design, not default.
You now get to reimagine your identity, uncover new purpose, and create a life plan aligned with who you've become and who you yearn to be. It's time to bring all your hidden dimensions into the light through a self-discovery process – a blueprint – that weaves insight, structure and passion.
The BO ST Blueprint guides you through an extraordinary self-discovery experience. Drawing from my own rich life transitions and retirement expertise, I weave together analytical frameworks (including Lumina Spark personality strengths) and intuitive tools (including The Passion Test) that reveal who you are right now. Read about them here.
No two Blueprints are alike because no two retirement journeys are identical.
The journey is about unearthing and honouring your most authentic path through structured self-awareness tools and exercises plus ample space for creative personal exploration.
The result is a holistic, uniquely personalized experience and Blueprint - crystallizing your core truth, reigniting purpose and passion, and creating an inspiring yet practical vision-to-reality roadmap. You gain the confidence and clarity to design – and live – your Next Life Chapter.
My Invitation to You
How will you know if my coaching and The BOOST Blueprint is for you?
Well, it's absolutely for you if you're navigating a retirement transition and seeking a profoundly meaningful next chapter - one consciously designed in full alignment with your rediscovered strengths, reignited passion and renewed purpose.
And it's definitely for you if the idea of being energized and actively engaged throughout this new life stage uplifts your spirit.
As your guide, I'm honoured to facilitate this very special self-discovery process. With TLC and expertise, I'll walk alongside you, helping to crystallize your Blueprint for designing your Next Life Chapter.

Clarity & Confidence
Anna is a keenly insightful person. One of her superpowers is weaving the outcomes of different metrics together to create a holistic picture.
I learned so much about myself and my values at retirement age!
I now have greater clarity about what my best retirement might look like, and more confidence that I can make it happen.

5-Star Experience
Anna walked beside me on a most magnificent journey. She helped me rediscover myself – my strengths, my passions, my goals – and then helped me create a detailed and practical action plan for my retirement to ensure that my vision was realized.
It was a 5-star experience.

Grounded & Clear
The program and Anna's kind insightful coaching helped me identify my strengths and passions plus all the other useful bits of knowledge and tools I learned in the process.
