Hi, I'm Hannah.

Founder of Good Thing Coaching. I'm based on the east coast of NSW, Australia, just near the ocean.

I’ve led an unapologetically unconventional life. Now, at mid-century age, it’s time to exhale.

Good Thing Coaching grew from my own integration, where survival wisdom, nervous system regulation, and practical neuroscience met my own diamond change.

I spent decades in a state of chronic dysregulation, through a chaotic childhood and then the high-pressure freelance hustle, which eventually tipped me into a long period of health and identity recovery.

I am drawn to the sublime and anchored in an embodied spirituality. I seek out awe daily, sometimes in the vast, often in the ordinary. I’ve moved from cynical to cyclical, and from raging to lounging against the machine.

I work with warmth and humour because developmental growth is serious business, but it doesn’t have to be solemn!

So if you’re facing major life transitions, shifts in identity, or need support navigating the magnificent mess of it all, I’m really glad you’re here.

My background

My experience spans more than 30 years across the arts, entertainment, music and film industries as a performer, producer, and creator. I've been a showgirl, a rockstar and a jet-setting fashion designer. It was a life I loved and one that asked a lot of me.

Some people call it 'learning the hard way'. I call it field research. There have been major heartbreaks, identity transitions, an empty nest (my son is in his 30's, wtf), and the slow reconstruction that follows when life demands a totally different direction.

Right now, I'm living with perimenopause, a 'fashionably late' neurodivergence education, an autoimmune condition, CPTSD recovery and a massive shift in how I understand my own wiring.

What I did not see until my body said no and my health collapsed was how much the pressure of that had been a loving and intelligent survival strategy.

My own integration and the diamond change I found within it are the foundation of everything here.

I've gone through the confusion, loss, grief, and shame, and I've survived it. Getting to the other side wasn't easy, but the freedom is exquisite.

My professional training sits at the intersection of developmental coaching, intentional change, creative practice, and embodied movement. It is shaped as much by my lived experience as by formal postgraduate education.

Alongside this, teaching Pilates/Barre and exotic dance brings a nuanced, practical, body-based, somatic lens to awareness, regulation, and presence in my work with clients.

I understand developmental growth not as a concept, but as something lived in the body, tested in real time, and shaped through creativity, challenge, and iteration.

This lived experience allows me to work slowly and precisely, with deep respect for nervous systems, identity shifts, and the complexity of real life.

I am not interested in quick fixes or growth that asks you to override yourself. I am interested in human-centred work that expands your capacity while staying grounded and resourced.
