Hello, I’m Hannah.
I support my clients through the challenges of parenthood. Based in Cambridgeshire, my mission is to help you regain control of your life, build resilience and find a better balance.
And you?
You understand that self-awareness is the key to finding strength, and confidence in your parenting journey. You aspire to be a positive role model and make a meaningful impact on your children's lives, nurturing their growth and development.
Despite your determination to evolve with purpose, you're facing an invisible barrier that's hindering your progress. It's frustrating because you know your potential for happiness, success, and making a difference, yet something is amiss.
This is where parental transition coaching comes into play. I wholeheartedly believe that dedicating time to self-discovery and inner growth is essential for becoming a more grounded, calm, and confident parent. Your newfound inner strength will radiate positively into your role as a parent, enriching your family's life.
I know this firsthand - I am living proof of the transformation that can be achieved through the right support.
“Hannah helped me focus on what the real challenges
were, gave me insights into patterns that were
holding me back and helped me discover resolutions
for these issues.”
What we value at the People Practice
Humour
A reminder to not take it all too seriously. We believe life is for living and having fun, even when we face important, ‘serious’ issues. Plus, a sense of humour can improve your mental and physical health.
Community
It takes a village to raise a child, but adults need support too! The People Practice is about coming together to support each other as well as belonging to and enhancing the wider global community.
Honesty & Trust
At the People Practice, we’re open, transparent and authentic. It’s a space to be your true self. Trust us – there’s no judgement here. We’ll support you to trust yourself as well as others.
Love & Kindness
As the Beatles say, love is all you need! We’ll listen to you and offer support with kindness, helping you, in turn, to be more compassionate, confident, useful and in control.
Results
From a place of vulnerability, we’ll help you’ll find strength. We will do our utmost to support you to find your true place in the world. Your achievement is our success.
Spirituality
We believe spirituality is about being open to seeing different perspectives. We can manifest what we want and need in our lives, if we have faith in fulfilling our own potential.

For individuals, she’ll help you rediscover your identity in parenthood, manage the balance of your parent and work lives and support you.
Together you will explore the transformative journey of parenthood and help you achieve a harmonious and fulfilling family life.

As a business, Hannah will support you to create a parent-friendly work culture and improve profitability and productivity by maintaining a happy workforce.
Hannah typically works with HR and Employee Engagement teams and/or senior management to understand your goals in improving your support for parent employees, and by co-creating a coaching programme to exceed these.
