Hana Raftery

M.S. in Occupational Therapy - Yoga Teacher - Safe & Sound Protocol Provider

Abstract Background

My Story

I am a highly-sensitive mother, a partner, a daughter, a friend, and a entrepreneur. I am a student of yoga, of nature and the seasons, of my own body, and my own nervous system.

My work combines my lived experience of mothering, entrepreneurship, healing from burnout, and navigating life with sensory sensitivities, plus my 15+ years of practice and advanced studies in yoga, ayurveda, breathwork, reiki energy healing, meditation, life coaching, occupational therapy, polyvagal theory, mental health, teen wellness, pre and postnatal care, sensory processing science, and trauma-informed somatic healing. I am also a certified Safe and Sound Protocol Provider, an evidence-based therapeutic listening program designed to help you think, feel, and connect better through nervous system regulation.

  • Astrological Birth Signs: Aries Sun, Libra Rising, Libra Moon

  • Ayurvedic Dosha: Pitta - Vata Predominant
