Ayanna M. McNeill

Owner Headshot

Ayanna M. McNeill is a Certified Life Coach, Business Coach, Writing Coach, and trauma-informed service provider with over 15 years of experience in mental health support, crisis intervention, community education, and personal development. As the founder of Harriet Returned Coaching, Ayanna is passionate about helping individuals heal, grow, rediscover their purpose, and build lives rooted in freedom, clarity, and intention.

Her coaching journey began in 2021 after being encouraged multiple times to offer life coaching services through a virtual mental health practice. Although fear and self-doubt initially caused her to turn down the opportunity, saying yes ultimately became the foundation of a purpose-driven movement centered around healing, authenticity, faith, and transformation.

Known as “The Coach’s Coach,” Ayanna specializes in life, relationship, business, and writing coaching while also mentoring aspiring coaches and helping them establish impactful brands and businesses of their own. Through coaching, storytelling, strategy, and compassionate accountability, she empowers clients to move beyond survival mode and boldly create lives aligned with their vision and purpose.

What started as one coaching opportunity quickly grew into something much larger than expected. Harriet Returned Coaching was created as a space where people could feel seen, supported, empowered, and guided through life’s challenges with authenticity, compassion, and intention.

Today, Harriet Returned Coaching continues to grow into a collaborative community of coaches, creatives, wellness providers, and leaders dedicated to helping others heal, grow, and walk boldly in purpose.
