About Me

Hi, I’m Anna. I’m a mum of three amazing (and neurodiverse) young adults, and I was diagnosed with ADHD myself at 42 — after a lifetime of feeling like I was broken, scattered, or just “not good enough.” For years, I struggled with misdiagnosed depression, anxiety, disordered eating, and a brain that just wouldn’t work the way I thought it “should.” Sound familiar?

Parenting neurodiverse kids while figuring out my own neurodivergence was exhausting, confusing, and often lonely — but it also became my biggest motivation. Over time, I found ways to manage the chaos, built strategies that actually worked for my brain, and learned to be so much kinder to myself.

Now, through The Inner Key, I offer neurodiversity coaching to help others do the same. I especially love working with fellow mums navigating ADHD or autism (diagnosed or undiagnosed), women moving through perimenopause and menopause, and young adults (18–25) trying to figure out how to be independent, find work or study, and advocate for themselves. However this is an inclusive space and everyone is welcome.

I believe you already hold the answers you need — sometimes you just need a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to help you find them. Together, we can sort through the overwhelm, figure out where the real barriers are, and build practical tools that work for you.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, scattered, burned out, or just want to understand yourself better, I’m here to walk alongside you. Let’s work together to unlock the strengths you’ve had all along
