Meet Hannah

My background is varied to say the least! I've been a model and actor, an owner/operator of various top restaurants/bars in Christchurch, private chef/manager in the U.S.A., founder of Workplace Wellbeing and Badass Brownies and a wellbeing consultant since 2006.

I have a diploma in Anatomy and Physiology and am qualified in a number of holistic practices and have been privileged to study with world leaders in their fields. 
 

• Dr Kataria, founder of Laughter Yoga, in 2007 (NZ) and became a Laughter Yoga Leader and trained with him again in 2009 (Australia) and became a Laughter Yoga Teacher/Trainer.
   

• Nic Marks, statistician, speaker, and author who shows that happiness isn't a feel-good extra—it's a powerful performance multiplier. I attended a Masterclass with Nic in the UK in 2012, who worked with the UK government to increase the population's wellbeing by heading a masssive piece of research between 2006-2008 and was responsible for disseminating the information and creating the Five Ways to Wellbeing and I was engaged by CERA to rollout Five Ways to Wellbeing workshops in the community following the earthquakes in 2011.
   

• Wim Hof, also known as The Iceman, a Dutch motivational speaker and extreme athlete noted for his ability to withstand low temperatures.  I trained with Wim in 2017 (Australia) in the Wim Hof Method which combines three pillars - Mindset, Breath and Cold Exposure. Why? To fully understand why you would want to turn on the sympathetic nervous system – the reason being, you want to control turning it off.
   

Post quake Christchurch, I spent 6 years working part time as a wellbeing activist with grassroots urban regeneration community organisation, Gap Filler, during some of the rebuild of Christchurch, post quake.

I continue to study other philosophies and modalities to integrate my knowledge of wellbeing practices to share with others in order to restore and increase health and wellbeing. This led me to re-trained in bioenergetics and epigenetics in 2022 and I became a Nes Health practitioner (now Energy4Life) and also Brain and Body Synergy practitioner and trainer.
