Anna Ferguson
Anna Ferguson is an Australian integrative nervous-system therapist who built her audience natively on Instagram as Anna the Anxiety Coach, growing from about 1,000 to 350,000 followers after roughly six months of daily short-form posting culminating in a breakout reel. A psychology graduate who spent about 13 years inside traditional mental-health systems, she rebranded her practice twice before landing on the anxiety-coach identity, and her Instagram growth led to a Penguin book deal (The Vagus Nerve Reset). She sells books, a card deck, courses, and a membership.
