GET TO KNOW DR. ANNIKA
MD | SPEAKER | AUTHOR | STRESS MANAGEMENT MENTOR
Hi, I’m Dr Annika, it’s great to see you here!
My Story
My journey into stress management began from a deeply personal place. In my early thirties, I lost my brother and my firstborn daughter within a week. This devastating experience left me crushed, but it also sparked a realization. With the support of friends and family, I learned the importance of self-care and discovered the immense power within ourselves to overcome adversity.
Determined to help others avoid the same pitfalls, I dedicated myself to studying stress, mindset, mental health, workplace health, and leadership. This knowledge, combined with my personal experience and my work as a medical doctor, became the foundation for my mission: helping executives and CEOs master their stress to become more effective, impactful leaders, and avoid burnout.
In 2007, I founded AskDrAnnika after earning my certification in stress and wellness. Since then, I’ve continued to grow and learn, taking courses in stress management, workplace health, rehab management, mindset, and change management. My unique approach combines scientific expertise with personal experience, simplifying complex concepts into actionable steps tailored to each individual.
My Values & Beliefs
Health and Family First
I believe that well-being starts at home. Prioritizing health and family is at the heart of everything I do.
Transparency and Honesty
Building trust through open, honest communication is essential. I’m here to guide you with clarity and integrity.
Kindness and Compassion
Everyone has their own journey and struggles. Kindness, understanding, and compassion are my non-negotiables.

There’s no one-size-fits-all solution. I tailor my strategies to meet your unique needs and circumstances.
WHY DR. ANNIKA

My personal journey through immense stress and loss has equipped me with a deep understanding of the challenges my clients face.

Dr. Annika Outside Of Work
Family is at the core of my values. Balancing my role as a mother with my demanding career has taught me the importance of prioritizing health and family above all else. I believe that strong family connections and personal well-being are the foundations of a fulfilling life.
I love meeting people and hearing their stories from different walks of life. This broadens my perspective on humanity, helping me understand why people do what they do, and informs my approach to helping others, regardless of their background or experiences.
I also have a passion for textiles, especially those made from natural materials. My father was a chemist at one of the largest factories for cotton fabric, and I often visited his office as a child. This early exposure sparked a lifelong love for sewing, stitching, and crocheting. This creative work has been my form of meditation, a way to be fully present and unwind.
Just like how I find my way of calm, I can guide you in finding yours. If you’re ready to transform your stress into strength and enhance your leadership, let’s work together.
