About

Hanna is a wellbeing coach, facilitator, and yoga teacher whose work lives at the intersection of climate, emotional resilience, and collective wellbeing.

As the founder of Grow in Grace, I guide individuals and groups in slowing down and reconnecting with themselves, nature, Mother Earth and community. My own journey - from navigating climate grief and guilt to finding healing through openness, community, and care - deeply informs my work today.

Since my awakening moment when I became an aunt, my life has been devoted to justice, impact, healing, and spiritual growth. Through exploring my empathic gifts and walking a transformative self-healing path, I’ve woven together my studies in coaching, yoga, and spirituality to offer a deeply personalized and powerful healing experience.

Journey back to myself

I grew up as a shy, deeply empathetic girl who felt most at home in nature, caring for others and moving freely. But after experiencing my first hernia at 14, life shifted. Physical pain and emotional disconnection followed, and over time I lost touch with my intuitive, grounded self. I escaped into partying, dating, drinking and performing in a system that didn’t feel like mine.

Working with a coach changed everything. Through presence and the right questions, I began reconnecting with myself and exploring a new path. Then, in 2022, another wave of challenges arrived — burnout, health issues, trauma resurfacing — and yet a quiet strength emerged. I chose to begin again: healing, learning, and building a life rooted in honesty and vulnerability.

These experiences form the heart of my work today: supporting others through transition, healing, and transformation. Helping people find stability in uncertainty, nurture their courage, and remember that even in moments of breaking down, life begins anew.

My Turning Point 🌀

For years I carried a deep, silent pain without knowing how to heal it. Becoming an aunt shifted everything. The birth of my three nieces was both a blessing and a wake-up call - a reminder of the world I hoped they would inherit: freer, safer, and filled with love.

Their arrival made me confront my own wounds and commit to healing. If I wanted a brighter future for them, I needed to start with myself - choosing self-care, compassion, and a life rooted in empathy, balance, and resilience.

I hope to embody the kind of woman I wish them to grow into: curious, compassionate, strong, and connected to others and to nature.


They are my why.


They are my bees 🐝

My Why 🐝

I often picture an ecosystem of bees working together across generations — pollinating, nurturing, caring for the Earth. That’s how I see this work: not about me, but about us.

My why is collective. It’s about joining something larger, restoring balance, building regenerative communities, and holding brave conversations. It’s for Mother Earth, for future generations, for my three nieces. For the pain we carry and the possibility ahead.

I’ve learned that tending to my own healing isn’t selfish — it’s essential. When I care for myself, I can show up honestly for the world. My struggles don’t hold me back; they guide me. They become my teachers, my motivators, my portals.

We are here to work with nature, to listen, to act with care rather than control. To let fear inform us, but not lead us.


To heal ourselves so we can hold others.


To be part of the pollination.

  • “Hanna works sensitively and empathetically."

    “I feel in very good hands with her. With individual methods and ways of thinking, she addresses my issues and helps me to find answers and peace of mind to the questions and thoughts that accompany me in everyday life. The conversations get to the heart of the problem and after a session with her a lot of things feel easier.”

  • "In a very short time, Hanna has made a positive impact on my life."

    “Hanna was very supportive and encouraged me to achieve my life goals.  She made me see the positive side of any negative experience I encountered.  Hanna helped me find solutions to my problems within myself by taking a step back from frustrating/confusing situations and refocusing my attention on my life goals.  

    She is very positive, patient, compassionate, and understanding.  It was easy for me to communicate with her because she made me very comfortable.  She helped boost my confidence in myself.

    In a very short time, Hanna has made a positive impact on my life.  I was able to make difficult decisions and choose things that contribute to my life goals rather than distract me from them thanks to her constant encouragement.”

  • "Hanna has definitely found a way to bring out the potential of her clients through the gentlest way possible.”

    “I was looking for a coach when I was right in the middle of starting my own business after years of working in educational institutions that had provided me with supportive networks and steady income. The change was so big I realised I needed support for dealing with my insecurities – someone to help me to get things done during the most risky weeks when it was too tempting to postpone the most challenging steps. Hanna has helped me to structure my thoughts, to inspect my feelings and through that get rid of some thought patterns that so easily slow down the process of starting a business on your own. Hanna is a true professional in what she does. Her way of rephrasing, asking clarifying questions and mirroring back my own words have helped me to realise and arrange my thoughts many times. I love the way discussions with her challenge me! I feel more energetic and capable after each meeting. I don’t feel pushed to be or to do more than I can. Hanna has definitely found a way to bring out the potential of her clients through the gentlest way possible.”

  • "I am really happy that I found her on my journey.”

    “Hanna is a really good coach. She helped me when I had a tough time at my University and I felt stuck. We worked on it during session (she used really interesting exercises) and it helped me to went through this and move on. She is really empathetic and kind. I really appreciate that she gives me space to just feel and acknowledge my emotions. I am really happy that I found her on my journey.”

  • "Hanna introduced me to this area and gently guided me in this journey of self-discovering."

    “When I heard of coaching I didn't know what to expect. I had a vague idea what therapy is but no clue about the first one. Hanna introduced me to this area and gently guided me in this journey of self-discovering.

    During the first session I learned how to identify the goals important to me but also why they are important. It seems that not everything you think you want is your true need. The second session helped me to realise that pushing a goal too hard may overshadow other needs and you end to be unhappy without understanding why. The third session helped me to discover the roots of my needs, the core values that define my priorities. So coaching is not only about achieving your goals but also about self-discovering, learning to prioritise and focus your energy to the needs that are in line with your core values. Without this, you would end wasting your energy on contradictory needs. I would recommend Hanna to everybody who is looking not only to achieve their goals but also to align them to their true needs and values.”

  • “Coaching with Hanna is always a time spent nicely in terms of reflection, getting valuable insights and learning about yourself. "

    “Coaching with Hanna is always a time spent nicely in terms of reflection, getting valuable insights and learning about yourself. She also helped me with examining my goals and finding steps towards achieving them together. Overall, Hanna is very smart, attentive and compassionate. She will notice things that you might overlook and give different perspectives on certain issues. I enjoyed every session fully. It’s an investment into developing yourself.”

    - Maria, Slovakia

  • "Hanna is a very trustworthy coach.

    She is very skilled, and I felt safe and comfortable sharing my problems. She is very calm and really listens to you. Next to that, she has the know-how to help you think deeper and find solutions and insights you didn't think about yourself. I felt lighter, heart, and more optimistic every time after our sessions.”

    - Iris, Netherlands

  • "I felt very well looked after by Hanna."
