Our Story
Where healing becomes a way of life.
Mindful Way Studio was born from one woman's deep conviction that every person deserves a sanctuary — a place to be seen, held, and transformed.

A healer, a teacher, a guide home.
Ania Haas is a Board-Certified Coach, Certified Executive Coach, Transformational Coaching Trainer, published author, Licensed Massage Therapist, CranioSacral Therapist, and Certified Expressive Arts & Breathwork Facilitator — with over 18 years of experience in healing modalities spanning psychology, energy work, somatic release, and spiritual practice.
Born and raised in Poland, Ania brings a fresh European perspective on wellness to the Mokena community. Her clients describe talking to her as talking to a best friend — a space where you can fully open yourself and know you will not be judged. Yet her sessions are far more than warm conversation: they bring real guidance and the feeling of finally understanding the heart of your challenges.
Her lifelong dedication to self-development is rooted in awareness and mindfulness. As a facilitator and trainer in Emotional Intelligence and a certified Focusing-Oriented Expressive Arts Facilitator, she specializes in journaling, body movement, and somatic release — bridging the connection between body and mind, helping individuals release deeply stored inner blocks and stress.
A recognized figure in both the Polish and American holistic arts scenes, Ania has been honored to share insights on mindfulness, energy understanding, and spirituality on Polish radio stations. She collaborates with healers and wellness coaches across the nation and around the globe, and since 2010 has facilitated collective healing workshops, women's circles, and taught ethics as continuing education for licensed massage therapists.
There are no mistakes in life. We are exactly where we need to be and go through all the harsh, painful experiences until we come out from the mind created separation and re-enter the experience of Full Unity. We will fall over and over again, until we fully surrender to that infinite power.

I meet you exactly where you are.
I have walked every level of the self-development path myself — the confusion, the breakthroughs, the moments of falling apart and coming back together. That journey is what makes me able to truly meet you where you are, without judgment, without agenda.
One of the things I am most proud of is being approachable. People tell me I feel like a best friend — someone you can fully open yourself to and know you will not be judged. That is not an accident. It is something I hold as sacred in every session, every circle, every conversation.
It is my deepest privilege in this life to serve and help others in their awakening and transformation. Every single day I witness magical, beautiful things happening to my clients and students — shifts that move me to tears, breakthroughs that change the course of someone's life. I feel so profoundly grateful that this is my path.

Ania's Signature Session
The Belief Shift Healing Session™
120 minutes · Coaching · NLP · Hypnosis · Energy Clearing
You've read the books, done the affirmations, attended the trainings — and yet you find yourself circling back to the same patterns. Something invisible holds you back. The Belief Shift Healing Method™ gently uncovers your limiting beliefs, reveals how they once served you, and reprograms your mind, body, and energy field with a new, empowered identity.
This isn't willpower. This is lasting transformation — because it works at the subconscious and energetic levels where your patterns began.
The 4-Step Method
Old Belief
Identify the subconscious belief shaping your reality
Hidden Benefit
Honor how it once protected you — with compassion, not judgment
New Belief
Through NLP, hypnosis, and energy alignment, install an empowered identity
Integration
Anchor your new belief so the shift becomes lived experience
