Anna Peterson Macsalka, the proud founder of Zenimal, embarked on her journey inspired by personal experience. As a child, Anna grappled with severe anxiety and debilitating panic attacks. Her life took a transformative turn when she discovered solace through mindfulness meditation. This practice became a beacon of tranquility that illuminated her path.
Upon becoming a mother, Anna was driven by a resolute desire to equip her children with the invaluable skills of self-awareness and meditation in a world dominated by screens. Despite her quest, she couldn't find any tools that met her criteria. Fueled by this need, Zenimal was born.
Following a career in acting and voiceovers, Anna dedicated her time to deepening her understanding of the profound benefits of meditation and mindfulness, recognizing their potential to enhance both children's cognitive development and adults' overall well-being. Presently, Anna is channeling her wealth of knowledge in mindfulness meditation towards the creation of innovative devices poised to enrich the lives of individuals worldwide.
Hailing from the breathtaking landscapes of the Rocky Mountains, Anna earned her bachelor's degree in Theatre and Business from the University of Colorado, Boulder. She now resides in Southern California, alongside her two remarkable children and their beloved rescue pup, Hester.
