Guiding the vision, building the mission, and leading Access Unleashed with purpose and heart.
Anna Boulier is the founder of Access Unleashed, inspired by her personal journey navigating life with celiac disease and the pursuit of a gluten-detection service dog named Barley. What began as a search for safety and independence revealed a much larger need, one shared by countless individuals living with hidden disabilities. With a background in storytelling, strategy, and community-building, Anna leads Access Unleashed with both clarity and compassion, focused on creating pathways to support, understanding, and real change.
"This mission is deeply personal. When I began fundraising for a gluten-detection service dog, I quickly realized how difficult it is to navigate that journey without guidance, structure, or a nonprofit behind you. What felt overwhelming for me is a reality for so many others living with hidden disabilities.
Access Unleashed was created to change that—to build the kind of support system I wish existed, and to help others find a clear path toward independence, confidence, and freedom." - Anna
