Approach to care

Hannah believes in using evidence-based practice to educate patients and direct care. She welcomes clients to express where they are and where they want to be to better achieve goals and lifestyle changes. Hannah feels that by setting and achieving smaller goals will lead to better success of meeting the overarching, bigger goal and lifestyle change.
