I’m Anna Billman, living in the North of Sweden (outside the city of Boden). Married with two grownup kids (both of them queer and neurodivergent).

I come from a rural background and was the first in my family (and village) to get a university degree (in math and computer science). I worked as a programmer and systems developer for decades, before I diverted into coaching in 2018. I’ve been an entrepreneur since 2000, including a wild range of activities alongside programming, such as running a local newspaper, having a popup restaurant in ”viking/medieval” style, arranging courses in iron age building techniques, being a beekeeper (to get honey and make my own mead!), running rural development projects, doing Shinrin-yoku (”forest baths”) etc etc.

I’ve been seriously burnt out at least 7 times and yes, I have AuDHD, which I didn’t realise until my eldest got a diagnosis…

Educations:
Master of Science in Computer Science (Umeå University)
Scrum Master
Psychosynthesis: 2021-2023 at PsykosyntesAkademin, Stockholm.
ICF Coaching (2018 + 2024)
ADHD Coaching (2024)

PS.
I used to call myself ”The Forest Coach” (which often made people think I was active in forestry…). When I started coaching ADHD-clients I realised that we (both I and the clients) were a bit more wild than neurotypicals – so I changed to ”The Wild Coach”.
I will still be using gardening metaphors.
