manao truly changed my life
Manao Anu was born during the most challenging time of my life, when I was struggling massively with my mental health. It was in pushing myself into the outdoors, into the ocean, and through the power of cold water swimming that I found my healing. I raised my energy, and began living a life centred around becoming my best self.
These experiences had such a transformative effect on me. By becoming my best self, I was showing up better to everyone around me, inspiring, and living a life of meaning. It's now my personal mission to share this journey, and help as many people as possible step into their best self.
