Anna Darlington

Lifestyle & Mindset Coach

Anna is a certified coach and NLP practitioner. She’s an accredited HR professional and founder of The Happy Mum Project. Following a successful career that led Anna to head up the Learning & Development function at a large, global organisation, she set up her own coaching practice, which is committed to helping mothers achieve career-family-balance. She understands the challenges working mothers face having worked in a corporate environment for many years while having her 2 kids.
 
Her mission: to empower women to become strong and confident leaders while finding fulfilment in motherhood and family life.
 
Anna went on her own personal growth and self-discovery journey after she had her first child. She felt motherhood was overwhelming, she felt a loss of identity and lack in confidence, which affected her in her new role as a mum as well as her career. She always had the desire to pursue a career and took pride in her achievements. She got confronted with the challenges of modern motherhood and had to face a lot of insecurities, anxiety and imposter syndrome. Through coaching and mindset work she found herself again and began to realise that all the experience she had gathered in her work-life as an HR professional and a manager gave her a lot of the tools she needed to drive not just her own career forward, but also guide and support others to achieve their personal and professional goals. It was then that she started to build the foundations of what has become The Happy Mum Project.
 
Anna’s work and coaching practice revolves around deep mindset work and inner transformation that addresses key elements, which are essential to being successful at work and having a fulfilled family life. She believes that by gaining more understanding and creating self-awareness, we become enabled to set meaningful goals for ourselves and implement healthy habits, thoughts and behaviours that will empower us to achieve a true state of happiness, balance and fulfilment.
