Meet Founder and Owner of The Oh My Gosh! co. A. M. Pohl *In the beginning*
Born in Germany in 1965 it was obvious that nothing about Anna M. Pohl was going to be mundane. Being rased in Northeast Ohio, she was drawn to the magic of live performance at early age and has been a professional entertainer since she was five years old. (Gene Kelly was her favorite back then) Beginning as a child she studied with the prestigious Studio Theater and went on to study with many other reputable schools and private instructors. There were entertainers and artists in Anna's family. Her Mother played piano giving her a Love of music and her father was the storyteller in the family, skills she uses throughout her career. But it was her Grandmother who was her biggest influence. Having been on the Ballroom circuit in the Big Band era, "Grama Flo" was a huge driving force in Anna's continuing to entertain throughout her childhood into her adulthood and beyond. As you can see left, she hasn't lost her Love of it all or her sense of humor. Read on to find out what happened next.

Anna *in the middle*
Anna has an extensive education. From Lakeland Comunity College to the East West School of Herbology and schools and workshops all over the country. The most important being ye ol' school of hard knocks. We're all green sometime and she worked through those times too. She is schooled in a wide variety of arts including but not limited to vocal music and live performance (her majors) theater and dance (her minors) choreography, character acting, strolling performance, improvisation, mime and movement, the clowning arts (including make-up, costume (yep she does that too), face and body art, balloon sculpture among other things, storytelling and drug/saftey programs. Other specialties are public and motivational speaking. In 1991 she created the Oh My Gosh! Co. to bring her special blend of performance art to the public on her terms. And now Anna lectures and instructs all over the country and continues to share her interactive performances and experiences with people of all ages and backgrounds.

Anna in the new millenium. *an interesting new beginning*
Much has changed since her first days dancing with her Grandmother. Her pet projects in the last 10 years have included the Cultural Enrichment program at the Beck center for the arts, the Education through the arts program with the city of Cleveland Ohio, and convention / event tours across the United States. She has expanded the company with her Health and Healing practice and education and continues to teach all over Ohio and the country.
In 1999 Anna expanded into the Healing Arts. She was trained by Master Nancy Welch at the Universal Life Healing Center in PA, as Reiki practitioner (see the menu above for more info on Reiki). Anna is now a Certified Reiki Master Teacher. She is also a Certified Royal Master of Astro-Numero Translation. She was trained and certified by the creator of the art *Midre* who is a fiesty 85 year young matriarch and expert in many metaphysical arts herself. Anna studied for her Master in Herbology Certification with the prestigious East West School of Planetary Herbology in CA. She has also continued in other healing arts as well.
And so it continues the need to touch people, to make them smile, to help them heal become whole human beings.

What she said...
"A performance must be *hands on* and interactive. We must make sure that individuals are involved so they have something they can take home with them and use in their everyday lives. It is important to remember that in sharing the arts we are motivators, the influence and example for others. We can make the learning experience memorable and positive for each person and reach them even on a subconscious level. Life was made to be joyous! Try to share your joy with everyone you come into contact with. Thanks for supporting all of the arts." AMP
