About Two Anchors
Before any of this, Kita and Hags were each adventurers with their own vessel, their own map, and their own weather.
Together we run Two Anchors, and we're building toward a place. Complicated things become more workable when you have somewhere steady to stand — firm enough to hold onto, held loose enough so you can still move.
Two perspectives, one practice
We're both systems thinkers. What differs is where we enter a system — Kita through the mystical (as Myst), Hags through the mechanical (as Mek) — and we counter-balance with a little of each other in each of us, too.
Mek, the mechanical
Hags
More than two decades of technical and product work across agencies, large companies, and his own ventures — software engineering, architecture, product strategy, data, design, and the team dynamics wrapped around all of it.
and mystical
The leap, the metaphor, the connection between two things that had no business being connected — so people can take part in a decision instead of being handed an answer.
Myst, the mystic
Kita
More than a decade practicing astrology — at core, a discipline for reading patterns: what recurs, what sits in tension, what a moment is asking for. That same lineage runs through her work in emotional processing, trauma- and past-life navigation, grounding, meditation, and energy work.
and mechanical
Family systems, conflict resolution and negotiation, brand and content strategy — structure, applied to people.
Those two directions meet far more often than either of us expected.
Both require curiosity before prescription, and understanding how parts relate rather than examining them in isolation. That's most of what Two Anchors means to us.
Why we're doing this
When we and our people thrive instead of just survive, it ripples. It is possible to heal, and we just have to agree to it.
Together we're learning how sensitive, creative people can thrive, and how to help them feel they belong, with evidence.
The economy we'd like to work in is a small one: people solving each other's real problems, close to home. Help people, and pay people for helping you.
We tend to look at problems as systems
Sometimes the system is:
- a person trying to understand why they feel stuck
- a relationship caught in the same loop
- a team that can't seem to work together
- an idea that hasn't yet found its shape
- a product, a website, or a piece of technology that needs to be understood, repaired, or built
And sometimes the thing that looks like the problem isn't the problem at all.
When the problem crosses boundaries
This is where Two Anchors tends to be most useful.
Real life doesn't organize itself into professional disciplines particularly well. Neither do we — though we try to be equally clear when something belongs outside our expertise and should go to someone better equipped to help.
If you know roughly what you need, coaching and web services are the usual front doors. If you don't know yet, that's fine too.
How we work with AI
AI is deeply integrated into how we live and work — not as software that occasionally makes things faster, but as another kind of thinking partner. One that requires judgment, because it has real blind spots and a real capacity to be confidently wrong.
We're less interested in what AI can do for us, and more interested in a different question: what can humans and AI learn to do better together?
What this isn't
Our coaching and guidance work is support, reflection, and navigation — not a substitute for licensed medical, psychiatric, or psychological treatment. Astrology and the spiritual practices we use are tools for reflection and orientation, not medical advice, diagnosis, or a promise of any particular outcome. See our disclaimer for the full picture.
