Meet Hannah

Hi there, I’m Hannah, and I’m so glad you’ve made your way here!

I used to move and operate from a place of “more is more”. More effort, more hustle, more pushing through. When I started teaching fitness and working my full-time job, I was burned out and running on empty. Yet, I kept pushing and pushing because that's what I thought strength looked like.

In 2023, I decided to leave my full time job and took my third trip to Bali, Indonesia to complete a meditation teacher training. When I finally let myself slow down and started listening to my body, everything shifted. Meditation felt like a sweet oasis from my to-do lists. Movement became something I actually wanted to do. My body started responding. The consistency I'd been chasing for years just... showed up — because I stopped making my practice (and my life) something to white-knuckle through.

That's what The Soft Ritual Co. is built on.

I'm a RYT-500 certified yoga instructor, mat sculpt teacher, and certified meditation coach. I created this space for people who love to move and have a full life, but are tired of being pushed past their limits without anyone asking how they're actually doing. When you work with your nervous system instead of against it, you build habits that stick — and a practice that feels good to come back to.

Welcome to the start of your softer, stronger version of self. Your ritual is waiting…
