“Anna Parkinson’s book, Beyond Sex & Soup, is a guidebook, a handbook and a book of wisdom. Rooted in personal experience and true stories, this book elucidates the ways of self-fulfilment and self-realisation. Readers will discover the place of beauty, integrity, mutuality and spirituality in everyday life in this outstanding and inspiring book. I thoroughly recommend it to all who are seeking healing and wholeness in their lives.” ~ Satish Kumar, Editor Emeritus, Resurgence & Ecologist Magazine, founder Schumacher College, Personal email

"I have two passions: one is to demystify healing, making it available to everybody, and the other is to bring together spirituality and science. That is what Anna delivers in her book, a practical approach to healing based on practical experiences. She provides tools for reaching this deep inner reconciliation that so many are seeking. An inner journey to the source with simplicity and love - the two major ingredients of spirituality to me." ~ Annick Brofman, author and healer, personal email

“Anna takes you on a journey through a close encounter with death to a richer encounter with life. The sex and spirit is something I feel is so often missed with the average sexual encounter. I feel it is important to keep in mind the true gift of sex, both pleasure and taking the energy upward toward spirit.” ~ Donald Van Howten, author 'Ayurveda and Life Impressions Bodywork.', Personal email
