Hi, I’m Hannah—a coach, writer, and lover of wild places.

My work is for people who want to reconnect with their whole and wild selves.

I weave modern science, resilience psychology, and ancient wisdom to help you navigate life’s challenges and create your own path to aliveness.

My Story (the brief version)

Once upon a time, I was a type-A doer—always hustling, always striving. My background is in engineering, endurance sports, and big adventures. I was all forward momentum and high-functioning control.

But the year I turned 30, a wave of deep personal loss cracked my world open. The grief shattered my old definitions of success, and I was forced to rebuild my life from the inside out.

I began unlearning the parts of me that were built for survival instead of wholeness. And I slowly returned to the wisdom of my body, the power of story, and the steady rhythm of my innate nature.

Fast forward to now

I guide others through that same wilderness of uncertainty, suffering and the unknown—through coaching, writing, conversation, and time outdoors.


I don’t promise quick fixes. I offer depth, presence, compassion and practical tools for navigating the very real challenges of being human.
