My name is Anna-Maria. I’m an artist and writer living in a rural cottage in Spain.
This channel is centered around personal essays and reflective storytelling on slow living, healing, motherhood, and life in my 40s.
Through my writing and videos, I explore inner growth, nervous system healing, and what it means to live more gently and intentionally.

Notes From A Gentle Life
Hello beautiful souls, I know I’ve been a little quiet here over the past few weeks 🤍
With Easter and spring break, I was fully in mama mode and didn’t have much time to film.
But I’m so happy to share that a new video will be up tomorrow at 4 PM (European time) 🌿
And I’m really hoping to be a bit more consistent again over the coming weeks.
Thank you so much for being here, even in the quieter moments ✨Sending you so much love 🤍

Notes From A Gentle Life
Hello dear ones 🤍
I wanted to share a small, honest update. We’ve been caught in another wave of illness, and it has taken more out of me than I expected. These past weeks have been slower and more fragile than planned.
I am working on a new video — it’s already unfolding — but I’m moving through it much more slowly than I had hoped. I’ve realized again how important it is for me to create from a place of inspiration and inner calm, rather than from pressure or fear of “falling behind.” That never leads to the kind of work I truly want to share with you.
If all goes well, the new video should be ready next week.
I also just want to say how deeply grateful I am for every single person who has recently found this little corner, and for those of you who return again and again, who watch quietly, who leave kind words, who share pieces of your own hearts in the comments. It means more to me than you probably know.
Thank you for your patience. Thank you for your kindness. Thank you for being here 🤍 Much love, Anna-Maria

Hello my loves 🤍
I had a video planned for this Wednesday, but I’m still recovering.
The flu hit us pretty hard and my body needs a little more rest.
The new video will be up by Sunday at the latest ✨
If you’re also feeling unwell or exhausted right now, I’m sending you my warmest wishes. Please take gentle care of yourself 🌿 Love, Anna-Maria ❤️
