Biography

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.

Why Access Unleashed?

"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.
