How do Tending Sessions work?
Whether you're navigating a life transition, seeking clarity on what you truly want, or feeling the call to tend to your emotional landscape, these sessions offer a gentle space to feel supported in your full range of emotions—from the tender lows to the bright, imaginative highs.
In Tending Sessions, we work, play, and create together using The Art of Emotional Design toolkit—a collection of practices I designed to help you embrace your emotional landscape and grow your desired reality in harmony with the great mystery.
How We Work Together
Each session meets you exactly where you are. We begin by exploring your emotional landscape, which shows us what's most supportive for you in this moment. If you're in a positive range of feelings, we can begin imagining future realities—asking how you want them to feel, and activating those feelings to create momentum and draw in inspiration. If you need tending first, we focus on processing and nurturing what's present, building the foundation for what wants to emerge.
You may leave with an art piece created in response to an imaginative prompt, worksheets you can use again on your own, or new practices that help rewire your brain's neural networks—associating the feelings you want with the life you're calling in. This is manifestation work rooted in emotional awareness.
Who This Serves
Tending Sessions are especially supportive for:
-
Those initiating creative projects and life changes, like manifesting a new home
-
People seeking emotional and creative empowerment
-
Caregivers, parents, teachers, healers, and community leaders who need their wells refilled—and want tools to bring back to loved ones, classrooms, or teams
Sessions can be one-time experiences or part of an ongoing journey through the full toolkit, depending on your pace and what feels right for you.

Testimonial:
A session with Hannah feels a bit like somatic experiencing, a bit like immersion therapy, and a bit like Alice Through the Looking Glass. The kindness, presence, intelligence, and creativity she brings to her work makes the process itself feel like a living being that moves and breathes and changes shape before your eyes.
Hannah has developed a map that illuminates the cyclical, systemic nature of our emotions. Using this map, she gently guides you up and out of one emotional-state to another. Sometimes, the feelings are transmuted, or the spell for transmutation is carefully crafted. Other times, the feeling acts as a thread of our past, helping us gain awareness of the deeper nature of emotional triggers and associations, while working through residue stored in the body.
Like all talented practitioners, Hannah knows how to allow the aliveness and uniqueness of each session to unfold the way it needs, while still holding a strong container in place. Her presence evokes a sense of security and unconditional love during a tender unraveling. As the name of her practice implies, her style is a “tending.” She stokes the fires, waters the parched flowers, and shines warm candlelight into the hidden nooks and crannies of the soul. She illustrates how to create, and how to allow.
Hannah’s work is sure to be a golden ticket for anyone learning or relearning how to feel their feelings, practice radical self acceptance, or open in trust of divinity/spirit/what-is-bigger-than-us. She does not claim or preach salvation, she simply offers us the tools to become better equipped to handle where we are. She helps us see and remember the magic available to us in our own luminosity.
