Anna Fryxelius  – Entrepreneur, coach, health consultant from Norway

Anna was 19, when the autoimmune Rheumatoid Arthritis was diagnosed. Two years later, she got in a bus accident. All of it had a tragic impact on her health. Doctors couldn’t find a remedy for her chronic pains. So, she decided to evolve a self-help system to overcome the pain and come back to a healthy and active life. In 2006, she finally got out of the wheelchair and completed an 800 km pilgrimage walk to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. 

Based on that experience, she wrote a book and started working for a patient organization to change the way persons with a disability are treated in Norway. For the next 10 years, she’s been building a career and taking care of her family. 

Finally, she made up her experiences in course to help other people fighting chronic pain and illness. Invested all her savings to found an enterprise – Anna Fryxelius AS, she offers online consultation services and health mastery programs. This work gives her a purpose. She looks at her own health problems in the past as a resource that is worth more than money, because using it she can help others.
