"Working with you has completely redefined how I see and experience God in my life. Learning about devotion, defining what God means, and understanding Grace and how it applies to my life has transformed my spiritual perspective.
Before learning from you, I wasn't aware that I lacked a clear definition of God or spirituality. Now, for the first time in my life, my spirituality belongs to me, and I have defined it for myself."
I've developed a disposition that God's grace is constantly catching me and pulling me forward. With a love like that, I feel ultimately safe in this world. This awareness has helped me profoundly, developing a resilience that allows me to honor my feelings while keeping my heart open, even in the face of adversity."

“I really can’t overstate how special it has been to work with Hanna and have her witness me and my journey with God. I’ve never been in a setting where I could bring up all my doubts and concerns and even sarcastic jokes about God and genuinely just be held and smiled at. Very different from all my experiences growing up in an organized religion. At the same time, this process has really brought me back home to religion in an ancestral way, and I find myself wanting to be “religious” more than I ever thought possible!”
"Hanna supported me through a challenging phase in my personal life over the course of 3 months, where a lot of change was coming at me - it was all a bit confronting and confusing ! Each session together was like a little sanctuary where it was safe to express what was coming up for me. I felt seen and heard and met where I was at. Hanna offered some simple and effective tools and perspective shifts for grounding and checking in with myself which I'll carry with me going forward, really grateful for that. As well as all of this, Hanna has such a curious and warm way about her, with plenty of humour and patience and the ability to hold the heavy, sticky stuff that can come up in session with a full heart and heaps of understanding. I'm moving through this phase feeling more empowered to face setbacks, with more insight into my habitual patterns when it comes to relating to myself and others and how to meet these idiosyncrasies with openness and kindness. If you're considering trying out relationship coaching I couldn't recommend Hanna enough, so appreciate the time we had together !"

"What immediately drew me to you was your ability to bring levity, playfulness, and humor to the spiritual process. This approach was refreshing, as it embraced the beautiful, deep, and challenging aspects of spirituality while also acknowledging the inherent absurdity and silliness of the human experience.
Working with you provided exposure to concepts and language that I had intuitively sensed but couldn't articulate. Having the right words and frameworks allowed me to delve much deeper into my spiritual journey, as I could now relate to these ideas with greater clarity and context.

"I am deeply grateful I got to work with you. What I keep from our work together are deeply simple things. I've been reading and learning about God for a while but always felt very confused between different vague explanations of how to relate with God, rituals, what you're supposed to feel and so on.
Our work together has created for me a very solid foundation and left me with simple tools to strengthen this foundation.
Working with you 1:1 has been precious for its refining dynamic. Access to your courses is a gold mine of information but talking about it with you after watching them brought the clarifying touches that grounds my understanding in my own experience and from there I can integrate and act.
And the work isn't finished working me, as I review our talks and your classes it continues...Thank you for everything."

"Over the course of six sessions, I have released so much anxiety and need for control in my relationship. The questions Hanna asks in sessions have allowed me to dive deeper into my relationship with myself, and discover my own values, strengths and needs. Hanna's wisdom has given me the courage to interrogate what I thought I knew about relationships and how they should be. I thought I wasn't allowed to ask for romance, or it wouldn't be romantic if I had to articulate it. But through working with Hanna, I found romance is a strong value for me - and that when I voice my desire for romance to my boyfriend, he is able to meet my need for it. This is just one example - I honestly left every session feeling equipped with wisdom and tools to improve not only my romantic relationship, but my friendships, too. Working with Hanna was a game changer."

I never thought that following a spiritual instagram would have landed me with the clarity and momentum on my spiritual path that I now experience. In a short few months working with Hanna and immersing myself in her content, I've seen more growth and expansion in my experience than in anything I've done previously. The classes, books, lectures, podcasts, and teachers I've found truth in led me further and further down the path until I found myself feeling confused & unsure of how to integrate the knowledge I was ingesting. I knew I needed guidance, but I wasn't feeling like the mainstream wellness and spiritual communities were where I should be.
"[Spiritual mentorship] allowed me to look at divinity with fresh eyes, a totally new perspective on meditation, God, being alive. Hanna is great at answering questions for those who don't 'get it', and talking through the lived applications of what you learn."
-Markian, USA
"I hadn't planned to learn from anyone, but your way of communicating these issues caught my attention. I fell in love with your memes first, finding them really funny. This led me to participate in the 'Beyond Mindfulness' class, where I fell in love with your teaching style.
You teach in a very down-to-earth way. It feels practical and applicable to my life, not just some philosophical concept that sounds interesting but is difficult to implement. Your teaching helps me understand where I've been stuck and provides words for things I've been trying to articulate.
Learning from you has made the whole spiritual practice approachable. It feels warm and enjoyable to be around. There's no effort from me; I'm just experiencing the facts of your teaching."

"Hanna was an incredible relationship coach. As a chronically single person who's done the work and is ready to find love, working with her gave me the necessary tools to approach dating in a holistic way. Over the course of six sessions, she was able to support me in defining what I was looking for in an aligned relationship. We also worked on healthy communication, advocating for my needs, and breaking the pattern of overgiving in relationships. I truly enjoyed every session and felt seen, supported, and gently challenged to become a more authentic version of myself when it comes to love. Definitely work with Hanna if you ever get the opportunity!"
-Michelle, USA
"I was drawn to Hanna's energy on Instagram because I could feel that her memes were pointing to much deeper truths that I wanted in on. I had been focusing on personal growth for years and felt I was at the edge of something big, but couldn't quite name what.
The consultation meeting with Hanna was illuminating and I went all in for the 6 month spiritual mentorship. Through her powerful reflections in session and transmittal of the lineage via ample archived talks and Q&A's, I received a framework for reality that has freed me beyond what I conceived as possible.
I used to look at people who "had a relationship with God" and just not get it. Now I do. I am not a problem to be solved, but a beautiful individuated expression and evolutionary force of the One Consciousness that is Everything! Embodying this has released so much stuck energy and has empowered me to move into a much more authentic life.
Thank you Hanna for your unique expression of the spiritual path. Anyone who feels stuck OR knows they are close to a breakthrough should consider a consultation."- A, USA

"Working 1:1 with Hanna has been positively impactful. Like working with a really wise friend, I felt completely safe and held in the container she obviously thoughtfully cultivates with much care and respect. I came into this 1:1 with a lot of discomfort in specific arenas of my existence; areas that I was having difficulty aligning with spiritually. Hanna gave me many tools to implement into daily life that I am absolutely actually using. One of the things I loved most about working with Hanna is her questions. She asked me so many that really prodded me in a way to become awake to how I am moving in the world. That kind of attention really put to the forefront that she was here to serve me and that she cared and listened intently. These questions also kept me in the driver seat of my experience; she wasn't telling me how to live my life. My intention going into this experience was to be more self assured. I come out of this eager to step into this state of assuredness- I am legitimately excited as I feel I am leaving this 1:1 moment a more true version of my self."

"One of the most fascinating aspects of working with you was how it actually brought me closer to my own spiritual lineage. Your teachings helped me discover Christian mysticism and realize that my Christian upbringing had provided a valuable framework for relating to God, which I hadn't fully appreciated before." -Fiona [spiritual mentorship]
"Prior to working with you, I was seeking a meaningful connection with God. I didn't feel drawn to any particular tradition and lacked a container to connect with the divine. There was a sense of hunger and seeking.
After working with you, I feel completely satiated. I was afraid to even pray before, but now I feel encouraged to explore many different traditions. The connection to God and the love I feel for and from God has grown tremendously.
The role of grace in my life has been amazing and ever-evolving. There were points where it felt like a struggle to surrender, but grace would swoop right in. Now, I've come to a place where I trust that grace is working on my behalf to the point where it's transformed my nervous system.
Your perspective on the subtle being far more powerful than a polar shift is unique and amazing. For me, so much of this path is in those subtle shifts that invite you to go deeper and deeper. I know this will be an ongoing journey for the rest of my life."

"I attended the Steiner Reading Room in 2022. Hanna is brilliant at transforming complicated esoteric knowledge and transforming it into everyday wisdom that is easy to digest and integrate. It helped me find that much needed balance between being ardent about my spiritual goals while not taking myself so seriously. What I appreciate about Hanna in particular is the way the teachings express themselves through her— her storytelling has a nice ebb and flow that’s organized in a practical way for taking notes and disseminating the core teachings while also being highly captivating and hilarious. She is very open and honest about her personal journey and does not pretend to be anything she’s not. I would recommend her courses to anyone looking to add true depth and substance to their spiritual practice, or anyone who wants to explore practicing yoga off the mat. It is a treat to receive teachings from an actual lineage holder who has the personality of a standup comedian and the integrity of a saint."
-Sidni, USA
“Hanna was always very present, validating, and easy to talk to during the our sessions. She always remembered the small details of our previous discussions and made a point to follow up each week to close the loop on outstanding action items. During our 3 months together, I learned how to recognize and spend time with emotions I experience on a daily basis. This has always been a struggle for me, and I have always suppressed or rushed through various emotions... especially negative feelings experienced in my closest relationships. I received great perspectives from her on dealing with complex issues related to my relationship with my wife. She also assisted in the development of actionable responses I could use to avoid shutting down during relationship confrontations. Unfortunately, I have never been very good at finding joy in life and this has negatively affected my relationships and my mental health. But as a result of my time with Hanna, I learned that experiencing joy in my life is a responsibility that I must embrace on my own. Now, I feel I have new tools to continue to explore that.”

"The space Hanna facilitated within our first month was truly and profoundly transformational. Standing on the other side of those 4 weeks, it feels as if I'm fully my authentic self; yet paradoxically, a brand new being with untapped potential. True to the field guide title, the tools and knowledge Hanna possesses combined with her deep empathy and apt humor were integral in guiding me to my home within myself."
“Hanna is a delightful lady who built connection right away. She is very intuitive and had lots of insights for me. She didn't let me plow through, keep talking, and miss something significant. She is obviously a gifted coach, and her confidence helped me to relax and feel confident in our work together. She was able to go with the flow of what I came with each time, still keeping the general direction that we had set as a focus. She really felt and encouraged the emotion behind what I was saying. Because of our work together, I feel heard and seen and understood, not so alone, and motivated to move forward. I have some concrete ideas of what to do and some tools to put them into action. Ultimately, I feel more in touch with my feelings, which have been stuffed down for a long time. I feel a fuller range of emotions and am open to feeling them all.”

"I knew from my very first phone call with Hanna that this was the "fit" that I needed to expand, explore, and deepen my spiritual practices.
Hanna models curiosity and values it in her mentees-- instead of expecting conformity or adherence she treasures engagement, depth, and a spirit of playful exploration.
I also appreciate the balance of warmth, candor, and high expectations that Hanna has exhibited in our sessions-- she is an expert at "pushing" in ways that are welcome, valuable, and encouraging.
My time with Hanna always leaves me feeling energized, engaged, understood, and ready to deepen my relationship with God and myself.
I am so grateful for her wisdom, sense of humor, and willingness to share her depth of knowledge and creativity."

"My decision to apply to work with Hanna has turned out to be one of the best choices I’ve made for myself. Hanna’s compassionate and capable guidance has strengthened me in a lot of different ways after a month of working together so far. I came to Hanna expressing the desire to be both more reliable as a person and more grounded in myself and my understanding of other people. The work I’ve been doing has blossomed beyond those initial goals as I’ve seen changes in my day to day life. The tools Hanna has equipped me with have enabled me to pull on threads that I’ve been curious about for years and finally start to unravel some awesome discoveries about what growth and self effort and love really are. Hanna is an intelligent person, full of Grace and a sparkling type of wisdom that brightens even the densest subjects. I’ve really loved working with her!"
"This experience was very powerful for me over the course of 5 months- in ways I couldn’t have expected! My goals in signing up for coaching were to become more spiritually integrated in my daily life, feel connected more of the time, and have a clear devotional path. I can confidently say that I achieved all three of these things, and feel passionate and faithful in my spiritual path. I exited a new age cult a few years prior and the trust that I felt in Hanna helped me heal the wounds I had around my spirituality. She is trustworthy, consistent and a well of information, compassion and guidance that has helped me point the arrow of my being towards the direct experience of God, which is what I was craving all along. ❤️"

"Prior to working with Hanna I had been struggling my entire life with an unrelenting internal stream of unforgiving, cruel self-talk and feelings of undeservingness. I felt paralyzed in place despite my desperate longing to simply feel human; to feel worthy of love, connection and security like anyone else. These internalizations impacted every relationship I had been a part of and I felt incapable of shifting away from the feelings of perceived long-suffering I felt trapped by. I knew I could and I /wanted/ to do better, but I felt I could not move forward alone.
Hanna offered heartfelt, patient, and compassionate guidance as a relationship coach and I could not have been more lucky to work with her. Her gentle inquisition encouraged me to reflect on my unaddressed issues and I felt empowered to confront deeply embedded, old hurts that I previously neglected, even though my emotional pain was begging to be seen. I was taught to recognize, notice, and be present with those feelings I once suppressed and suffocated, and after each subsequent session I discovered more peace, ease, and understanding within myself than I had ever felt before, which then allowed me to better nurture my relationships and even take action towards turning "out-of-reach" dreams into reality.
Without the consistent, empathetic support from Hanna and her softly pushing me to inquire further into myself, my relationship with myself and others would have continued to stagnate and I would still feel lost, resistant, and afraid of real change. Seeing tangible growth in my life after this time with Hanna has left me transformed, I feel less alone within myself and more capable, in awe of how "easy" moving forward really was (thank you, self-effort). After these past three months I am ready to reveal more of my authentic self, eager to embrace my own messiness and complexity, and will practice cultivating deeper feelings of true self-love and self-acceptance. If you are someone who needs a loving friend in your corner and you are ready to be challenged in your personal evolution and relationship with self, Hanna is certainly someone who can help you with that."

"Working with Hanna has helped me open doors within myself that I honestly never thought I’d reach in this lifetime! I’ve always been journeying through states of atheism, agnosticism, animism, and feeling so much “unknown." And while we will always live in Divine Ignorance, I’m now more secure and certain than I have ever been.
A big part of what Hanna offers is the opportunity to be able to access her years worth of education and spiritual practice/knowledge, and through that move through your own lessons and milestones more quickly and gently than you would without a guide in some form. And that could not be more accurate for me. When I say I’ve gained clarity on parts of my spiritual framework that I thought I’d never find in this lifetime, I really mean it. A lot of times at the beginning of my session after we meditate together, I just find myself crying from a soft and loved place, because this entire journey has been that special for me and I’m so grateful to have found my spiritual home within myself in this lifetime.
But now having worked with her for six months, I have so many concrete things in my day to day life that I can look at and say: “oh my gosh, I am moving in such a different way than I was before. I am able to hold space where I couldn’t before! I moved through that with so much more grace.” My ability to slow down and witness my reality and be less reactive has been huge. On a spiritual level, my understanding and natural inclination to prayer has grown so much, my confidence in my connectedness and inherent right to reach for God, are all things that have come so naturally for me through this process…"
"I sincerely enjoyed the Steiner Reading Room! Hanna has a real gift for teaching! She is great at communicating complex ideas, bringing in her extensive knowledge and understanding of spirituality to deepen the participants' experience. But even more importantly, she is open-minded and a great listener, which allows her to connect with her students and serve their different needs; it is clear that she really cared about each and every one of us and wanted to deliver the best possible class. Hanna is also delightfully goofy; by that I mean she is an absolute nerd for all things spiritual and god-centered. It was clear that she loves what she does and her excitement and enthusiasm produced an unparalleled environment for learning and growth. I think of the Christian advice that one must become "a fool for God," meaning that on our path towards union with the divine we will most likely appear foolish to the world, and I think in this class Hanna exemplified that in the most wonderful ways. Through her expertise, humor, and gentle compassion I was able to reconnect with my own spiritual enthusiasm and felt reassured that while often challenging, the path towards a deeper spirituality can (and should!) be a life-long source of joy!"

"Working one on one with Hanna over the past few months has been a precious gift. Her humor, compassion, instincts, and deep knowledge and understanding of spiritual practices are unmatched. I feel like I discover something new and transformative every week, either in our sessions or between them as I integrate the things we talked about. Over the course of our time together, the interconnectedness, simplicity, and beauty of the spiritual path, (of which Hanna is an expert navigator), has continually amazed and delighted me. Sometimes the path is hilarious, sometimes it's painful, but there is always the offering to find Grace in the process. Working with Hanna has given me access to more joy, more gratitude, more GRACE (even and especially when things are crummy), and a deep trust in my self and in the unfolding of my life. I would enthusiastically and ecstatically recommend her as a Spiritual Field Guide. Plus she’s really funny."

From my first conversation with Hanna I knew this work would be different, I knew she was the real deal. Her ability to hold space and to offer a sincere, integrated approach to spirituality was like opening a present at Christmas as a five year old. The JOY in knowing it is possible to integrate everything I've read and heard and felt into my actual life was nearly overwhelming. Hanna has helped me to put to words so much of what I was experiencing, within a worldview that connected the many dots of my lived-experiences. This framework has allowed me to trust the spiritual process in such a profound way, which was something I truly didn't know was possible to feel. Faith was an elusive concept for me before working with Hanna, now I can feel the essence of faith in a way I never knew was possible. For that, I'm forever grateful to Hanna.
The Spiritual Process with Hanna feels like jumping into a wave, & the more I surrender to the process the more I'm swept away by its power. I can feel a momentum, a force that's guiding me. I now have the words to understand it as it is: Grace. Now, my day-to-day is filled with remembrance and connection. Even in moments of disconnection I can feel the strength of my spiritual roots as they continue to grow. I now have practical practices that guide me back towards connection again and again. Hanna's guidance has been instrumental in working through difficult aspects of the spiritual journey that I otherwise would have felt completely alone in. The ways that this work has permeated every aspect of my life is surprising and incredibly humbling to say the least. It's difficult to put to words how impactful it is. I look forward to continuing in the process with Hanna's support and guidance along the way.

I was a staunch atheist until I was 19 years old.
Yep, you read that correctly.
I’ve spent my entire life preoccupied with the pursuit of truth; searching for what’s real. Growing up, I was only offered the preferred truth-seeking method of our culture: science. This was the only explaining story I could find aside from Normative Christianity—so, I went with it.
But… how did I shift from denial of God to experience of God?
In essence: I was humbled by the Intelligence of Nature. When I was 19, I met God in a compost heap working on a farm. Soon, my experiences became incongruent with my scientific understanding. I began to realize that science doesn’t allow room for the full-spectrum of human experience. So, as the Divinity within Nature continued to conquer my false sense of knowledge [atheism], I gave more consideration to alternative ways of knowing—ways of knowing that acknowledged the full-spectrum. This led me into 10 years of studying religion, which ultimately landed me in the Tantric tradition I am initiated into today. As my experiences deepened, it became clear to me that there was much more going on than meets the eye. Experience is a key term here because my spiritual turning point was a shift away from belief-systems to experiential-frameworks.
I don’t have beliefs. I have experiences.
I don’t believe in God. I experience Her.
Now, I empower people like you to make this shift through the sophisticated framework of my spiritual tradition [maha śakti yoga] and my 12 years of studying world religion.
