The Author
Author, entrepreneur and women's trauma healer, Anna Krjatian is the founder and director of The Butterfly. She believes that everyone’s pain has a purpose and teaches people how they can transform their traumas through writing.

Anna saved herself from suicide and wrote herself out of depression and is helping women all around the world unlock and embrace their power and Goddess energy. She is the author of three books, creator of a healing journal and facilitator of many workshops and masterclasses.

In 2016, Anna’s first book Unmasking Depression was selected as a semi-finalist for the Australian Women's Weekly and Qantas Woman of the Future Award. When she was four, Anna's parents fled war torn Georgia, seeking asylum and a new life for their children. She currently lives in Melbourne, Australia.

Reader Reviews
"Unmasking Depression is a ‘must-read’ for people experiencing a similar state. It is also a book that may benefit therapists who can gain an insight into the inner turmoil that Anna describes well and one that may aid in understanding the journey of self-transcendence." ~ Dr Alex Kristovics PhD (Psychology)
