Introduced to homeopathy and the benefits of nutrition at an early age, and with a longstanding interest in health, Hannah is well informed of many aspects of complimentary therapy.
She believes that wellness is defined by a deep and honest understanding and acceptance of self, and that some of the success of many therapies lies in their ability to unravel the complexities of our subconscious. She believes that this understanding of self is key to finding the right therapy and that listening to our bodies is one of the healthiest things we can do.
She was drawn to Wellbeing by its ability to present the possibilities of health to a broad and mainstream audience. Through working with several charitable organisations, and ongoing work with a leading humanitarian charity, Hannah uses her experience of PR, promotion and marketing to help local practitioners reach new audiences and raise awareness of their work. Hannah has broad interests in health, wellbeing, environment, nature, creativity, self-awareness and learning.

Last year, mum gave me a print out of a chicken house for Christmas. Much though I would love to keep chickens, our garden is too small so the picture was never redeemed for an actual chicken house as intended. Still, it's the thought that counts so I'm looking forward to this year's picture.
Every day is similar, but not similar enough to allow complacency. There's always a twist to keep us on our toes. "When will dinner be ready?" Granddad asks. "At 12 o'clock" I reply. "What time is it now?" he asks. "11 o'clock," and then before the minute hand has moved... "when will dinner be ready?" Oh no I think, bit early to be starting this isn't it?
What better time to bring you the first of our wild food pages, as you sit reading this on a beautiful spring day (hopefully!), long-awaited and here at last. As those close to me know only too well, foraging and wild food is a particular joy of mine. Few things compare to the excitement of heading out into the countryside in search of seasonal food.
Published annually, the Wellbeing Handbook is the same size as the Wellbeing Magazine with a thicker, more durable cover.

My relationship with the hula hoop, sadly, has never blossomed. But, on a rainy January evening two years ago, on a friend's recommendation I arrive at a local hooping class, confident that now's the time to really embrace the sport. In fact, I might go so far as to say I was convinced that hooping was not only going to be my new favourite hobby, but it was going to transform my life, making me fitter and my stomach flatter - oh, and I could also impress my friends with hooping tricks and nimble routines.
