Hey, I’m Hannah!
Mum of three. Founder of 11 businesses.
Serial “try the hard thing” person.
Lover of animals, good humans, and building companies that actually matter.
I help women grow, acquire, and scale businesses —without losing themselves in the process.
Nothing fancy.
Nothing corporate.
Just real strategy, heart-led leadership, and honest conversations that help you build something you’re proud of.
For women who lead with heart

What I do
So, why me?
I’ve turned rundown centres into multi-award-winning services.
Built eco-friendly brands from scratch.
Created companies that save the planet AND win awards.
And I still do school pickup.
If I can do it — you can too.
The Things I’ve Created Along the Way
I’ve started and supported ventures that simply make life better for women, children, and communities. Each business adds a little heart, purpose, and progress to the bigger picture.
The real story
I didn’t grow up expecting to be a CEO.
I definitely didn’t expect to run 11 businesses, win national awards, or build a nature-based childcare model that changed the game.
I was a kid who had to grow up fast.
A teenager who figured things out the hard way.
A woman who learned to back herself because no one else was going to do it for her.
Now?
I teach women how to do the same — but with more ease, more support, and way fewer bumps.
My Work
I’ve built eco-award-winning childcare centres, a cloth nappy company saving hundreds of thousands of nappies from landfill, a forest school, consulting businesses, and more.
Everything I do is grounded in:
nature
community
purpose
courage
real leadership
And a little chaos — because… mum life.
What I Believe
You can be ambitious and gentle.
You can be powerful and kind.
You can build an empire and still put your kids first.
You can be underestimated and still win.
And you can always, always create a life that feels like yours.
