About

I’m Anna Ferguson - bestselling author, somatic therapist, and grounded visionary in functional mental health. Through my books The Vagus Nerve Reset (Penguin Random House, 2024) and 21 Days to a Less Anxious You (HarperCollins, 2026), my podcast Home Body, and my work with the Kind Mind Club, I’ve helped hundreds of thousands of people reconnect with their nervous system and transform their mental health. My focus is simple: bridge the gap between neuroscience, somatics, and real-world tools so both practitioners and everyday people can thrive. Right now, I’m curating the Functional Mental Health Conference 2026 - Australia’s first large-scale event dedicated to integrative, evidence-based, and practical mental health solutions. This 2-day conference will bring together clinicians, innovators, lived-experience advocates, and the public to reshape the future of mental health care. ✨ What I love: creating spaces (whether in books, podcasts, or events) where science meets soul, and people walk away not just inspired - but equipped.
