About Me

You're not too much.

You're not broken.

You're gloriously unboxable.

And this is my reclamation story.

I'm Ania Hulsman, a coach for the ones who never quite fit. The deep thinkers. The quiet rebels. The ones who feel everything and still somehow blame themselves for not "getting it together."

The short version?

I help gloriously wired-differently humans stop stalling, start thriving, and reclaim lives that actually fit them.

No masks. No hustle. No fixing. Just radical self-leadership, unapologetic truth, and alignment that honours who you really are.

The messy,
magnificent version

I didn't come into this work because I had it all figured out. I came into it because I didn't.

Born in London to a struggling, working-class Polish immigrant family, I always felt like an outsider, too much, too intense, too weird, never quite getting the rules.

So I learned early how to mask. To adapt. To shape-shift into who I was supposed to be, even if it meant slowly losing touch with who I actually was.

I tried the "normal" path. I studied hard. Got my degree. Pushed myself through jobs in real estate, retail, recruitment, teaching. Every time, I started with promise, and every time, I fell flat on my face.

At 25, I was diagnosed with dyslexia. At 44, with ADHD. Autism hasn't been formally confirmed, but the traits show up loud and clear. I'm a Highly Sensitive Person, a pattern-spotter, a relentless questioner, and a lifelong biohacker (because why wouldn't I try to reverse-engineer joy, sleep and focus?). And for the longest time, I thought the problem was me.

The turning point

The truth hit me slowly:

No amount of pushing was ever going to fix the disconnect.

Because the problem wasn't me.

It was the rules I'd been living by.

The pressure to perform.

The constant shape-shifting.

The way I'd internalised every missed detail, every meltdown, every messy emotion as proof I was failing.

So I stopped.

I tore it all down.

And I rebuilt, piece by piece.

With coaching. With therapy. With rest. With rage. With radical self-trust.

That's where reclamation began for me.

I reclaimed my energy. My rhythm. My unapologetic truth.

And now, that's what I help others do.

Why this work matters

I know what it's like to succeed on the outside and still feel like a disaster inside.

To work three times as hard just to feel "normal." To carry shame for not being able to do what everyone else seems to manage with ease.

And I know how life-changing it is to finally stop pretending. This work is my way of giving people the thing I didn't have soon enough:

someone who sees past the mask, and believes in your potential more than you do.

What makes me different

I'm not a guru. I'm not here to fix you. I'm not invested in shiny formulas.

What I am is:

Check

A coach with 2,000+ hours of experience

Check

Seven years working in-house under Tony Robbins (before I walked away from burnout)

Check

Trauma-informed, ontologically trained, and deeply experienced in nervous system regulation

Check

A relentless learner of embodiment, mindset, neurodiversity and team dynamics

Check

A deep listener who can spot the pattern under the noise and the truth under the shame

One of my not-so-secret superpowers?

I feel people deeply.

Not just who you are, but who you could become if you stopped hiding, stalling, or shrinking yourself to survive.

This is personal

I don't just coach neurodivergent humans. I live with them. Love them. Parent them.

Two of my children are neurodivergent. My two grown-up stepchildren too, one with ADHD, the other with autism.

My niece and nephew. My husband, Dion-Rene (ADHD + giftedness = glorious chaos). We even work together now, co-creating workshops that help businesses build cultures where wired-differently people don't just survive, but thrive. And there's more.

My dad was just 50 when I lost him. My brother only 24, both to preventable accidents. Different circumstances, but the same thread, a lifetime of being misunderstood, unsupported, unable to thrive in a world that didn't know what to do with them.

I carry that grief with me. Not as a wound that defines me, but as a driving force to make sure fewer lives slip through the cracks.
