Bonnie Pettiford

Performance Artist & Art Therapy Talent Development Coach and Owner of The Reel Tips LLC.
The Reel Tips is an Artist Holistic Development company providing services, programming and media to help artists with the behind the scenes processes of their artistry (like emotional challenges, rehearsals and productivity management resources).

Originally from Richmond, Virginia, Bonnie (Anahata) Pettiford always had a deep ardor for “the arts” and a heartfelt passion for performance & production! She's had an array of acting training, several stage/film acting, talent coordinating, casting & production credits. After graduating from Old Dominion’s Communications & Theater Arts program, she found the casting profession at Studio Center Total Production in Virginia Beach, Va. Furthering her education, she got her Masters of Arts in Film & Television Production at Regent University. She then sharpened her talent development unique expertise and got certified as an Art Therapy Life Coach.

In her background in casting & coaching actors, she saw an emotional need that very few talked about. The need for them to reverse the emotions that they channeled as the character. So she created a technique to recover their emotions by channeling a higher vibration to reverse that emotion. Seeing this need beyond the acting profession, her study into even more expressive arts & holistic therapies birthed our healing arts division Artistic Alignment; to assist in emotional alignment for the talent that can’t get that “emotional monkey” off and to help clear the emotional blockages.

Bonnie's undying connection for the emotional well-being, mindset, and development of the talent continues to motivate her efforts to share her knowledge of acting, writing, production, and her own life’s emotional journey to coach and inspire self awareness, alignment and autonomy in others!
