Hi, I’m Hannah, and I offer mindfulness meditation to support the integration of expanded states of consciousness. Whether you’re integrating a spontaneous awakening, psychedelics, or another kind of expansion, my intention is to create a space where you can learn to meet the present moment in normal waking consciousness with more self-compassion and freedom.
After expanded states, returning to ordinary life can feel challenging—even unnatural. Integration is so important on the path to embodying greater consciousness, and mindfulness meditation can be a strong foundational practice to support it.
There’s a common misconception that mindfulness meditation is purely mental. However, mindfulness can also be considered bodyfulness, heartfulness, or my favorite term: sensefulness. Gently and gradually, it’s a practice of seeing things as they are, free from conditioned perception—the ways we push away or cling out of reactivity.
My hope is to guide meditations that help us remember our inherent connection to each other and to life itself. I intend to support connecting with the heart, grounding in the body, and belonging in community—first by learning to be with experience, and then gently letting go of identifying with it. I return to practices like self-compassion, body scans, and lovingkindness again and again. There’s something quite mystical that happens through the heart that the thinking mind can’t fully comprehend, and shifting from head to heart unfolds as we come into the body.
There is one thing that, when cultivated and regularly practiced, leads to deep spiritual intention, to peace, to mindfulness and clear comprehension, to vision and knowledge, to a happy life here and now, and to the culmination of wisdom and awakening. And what is that one thing? It is mindfulness centered on the body.”

My background is in graphic design, but my spiritual and healing paths led me to train as a mindfulness meditation teacher as well. As I begin this new journey, I feel as if I’m wading into unknown waters—but with an even deeper trust in these teachings.
I’ve often heard that you can look back on your childhood to see what you really enjoy or want to do in life. This never made sense to me until I started meditating. As a child, I was clearly two things: very organized (which is helpful for my design work) and very sensitive—highly sensing. In a culture that seems to expect us to live only from the neck up, I’ve always felt so deeply in my body and had a tender heart. Meditation, primarily as a practice to remember presence, welcomes all of me.
Before discovering formal Insight Meditation (Western Theravada Buddhism), I first stumbled into the practice of silence during a time of debilitating depression and suicidality. In January 2018, I felt an urgency to sit quietly with my pain—not to indulge it, but to get radically honest and finally allow myself to fully feel. I’m not sure why, but during that first silent sit, I had a mystical experience: an ineffable knowing that transcended my sense of a separate self. I vividly witnessed my human incarnation from the vantage point of loving awareness—a knowing of infinite belonging.
Years later, and after many silent meditation retreats and psychedelic journeys, that first mystical experience remains a powerful reminder of truth in my life. The memory of it has sustained me through seasons of doubt and strengthened my confidence in practice—being with what is, in love.
I received my teacher training through the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program (2023–2025), led by Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield. I’m deeply grateful for them and for the many other teachers, human and more-than-human, who continue to support me on this path. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, California, with my husband and our cat, and I serve both online and in person locally.
