Meet Our Teachers & Practitioners
Gabrielle Anderson, LMFT: Studio Owner, Meditation Teacher, Reiki Practitioner, Spiritual Coach
Gabrielle is the owner of The Willow’s Crown as well as a sister company, The Family Therapy Center of Northern Virginia in Loudoun County, Virginia. She found meditation after walking through an incredibly dark time in her life. Gabrielle was involved in a spiritually saturated yoga class in 2009 after fighting her way through Lyme Disease and other simultaneous traumas. During the meditation portion of these classes, she learned the art of the Shamanic Journey and had her first experience with an Angel. This led her to meditate more and more at home, which opened the door to long distance energy healing and learning to use angels (when appropriate and welcomed) during healing sessions with clients at the counseling center.
The curiosity of this journey led her to meet a Jikiden Reiki teacher. Gabrielle then became certified to practice Reiki and incorporated it with clients who were experiencing chronic illness, panic and trauma. She began to guide empaths and other energetically sensitive clients (kiddos thru adults) to help them understand and embrace their gifts and teaches this to other counseling therapists as well.
Gabrielle has been professionally teaching meditation classes since 2017 and created the WIllow’s Crown in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. In her spare time, Gabrielle can be found on her yoga mat, paddleboarding, or kayaking, cooking yummy meals, and binge watching fun TV series with her family.

Tucker Landry, LCSW: Meditation Teacher, Life/Spiritual Coach
Tucker, a career social worker and therapist, began his meditation journey in 2015 under the guidance of his social work supervisor. He started attending regular groups and yoga sessions and exploring the healing power of meditation and mindfulness for himself and his clients.
A few years later, Tucker was connected with another helping professional, Gabrielle Anderson and began joining her and other practitioners in meditation groups. Growing his practice and community has been rewarding in many ways. One of the ways Tucker enjoys connecting is through music. He has been playing guitar for over 20 years and enjoys using it in meditation and will incorporate live music during his classes when appropriate.
Tucker will be offering virtual classes as well as nature based classes (that too will be live streamed) throughout the community. In his spare time, you can find Tucker playing his guitar, singing, walking his dogs, golfing, hiking, and spending time with family, friends, and loved ones.

Chloe` Cook, LMFT Life/Career Coach
Chloe` began her journey into mindfulness and meditation back in 2012 upon making the life changing decision to switch careers. After working in the finance industry for 13 years, she couldn't deny the feeling that tugged on her daily to become a therapist and life coach, so she found herself back in school to fulfill her purpose. Chloe` believes in treatment of the whole person, so she also started self-study through books authored by alternative-medicine advocates, spiritualists, and mindfulness/meditation advocates to learn about holistic health and the healing power of the mind.
After completing her schooling to become a therapist, she began working with Gabrielle Anderson, who reignited her interest in meditation. She started attending weekly meditation groups with Gabrielle and other practitioners, where they were able to share experiences, support each other and bring that wealth of knowledge into the work that they do with their clients. Chloe` enjoys using her own journey of self-exploration and purpose to help her clients achieve their life goals and become more connected to life's experiences.
Chloe` loves nature and sunlight. In her spare time, she can be found walking trails, playing outside with her toddler and dog, occasionally hitting some tennis balls, or curling up to watch a movie with her husband. Chloe` will be offering all coaching through virtual meetings.
