The Story Behind Touched by Annie
|
My Journey to ASMR Long before I knew there was a name for ASMR, I discovered that I could help my partners relax through touch. I would play with their hair, lightly scratch their backs, and try different things just to see what they liked. Over time, I became intrigued by how differently people respond to touch, so I kept experimenting. In 2014, I decided to turn that interest into a practice, and Touched by Annie was born. What started as something I naturally did to help loved ones unwind has grown into a business that has brought me much joy. I love creating a space where people can slow down, feel comfortable, and simply enjoy the moment. |

A Little About Me Born in Vietnam, I came to the USA as a young refugee with my family. I earned my BBA in Accounting and went on to spend much of my career in the corporate world, ultimately serving as a CFO. I’m proud of what I accomplished, but over time I realized I wanted something different—more freedom, more balance, and work that felt meaningful to me. That realization changed the way I wanted to live. I began traveling more and embracing a semi-nomadic lifestyle. I’ve never quite felt at home in one particular place, and part of me is still searching for where I belong. That search for connection is what draws me to ASMR Touch Therapy — a simple and personal way to be close to others. |
A Cause Close to My Heart
While recovering from brain and spine surgery for Chiari Malformation and Syringomyelia in 2011, I was scared and looking for people who had been through something similar. That search led me to ASAP, where I found my Chiari family. In 2012, I was invited to join the board and I've been honored to give back to that community ever since.

Annie's Adventures
I love traveling on my own, especially when it takes me outdoors. Give me a beautiful coastline, a mountain trail, a waterfall, or a road leading somewhere I’ve never been, and I’m happy. The photos throughout this website are all from my travels, capturing the scenery, adventures, and unforgettable experiences I’ve encountered along the way. The collage below brings together a few more of those moments and places that I’ve been lucky enough to experience. I hope you enjoy taking a little journey through them as much as I’ve enjoyed making the memories.
