Hannah is a highly experienced Personal Trainer and breathwork practitioner, with over 15 years in the health and fitness industry. She has been part of the RRR and Fern team for the past four years, specialising primarily in breathwork and movement, supporting clients to live with greater ease.

Hannah is a qualified Personal Trainer through the YMCA and NASM and has trained extensively across multiple disciplines.

She has also studied functional breathwork with Oxygen Advantage, as well as conscious connected breathwork with Transformational Breath and Alan Dolan.

Her professional work is deeply informed by her personal health journey. An active child who frequently experienced illness, Hannah developed Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in her early twenties and lived with it for a decade.

Her main focus now is educating people on the importance of their breath for physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health.

Manoj is a gifted Sound Bowl healer and musician from Nepal, where his heritage is deeply rooted in a lineage of musicians from the country’s vibrant eastern regions.

His journey in sound healing began when as a small child he used to climb to the brow of the hills daily to sing out in prayer to the Almighty. His lilting, curative voice became known far and wide and he was soon asked to attend ceremonies and gatherings bringing the healing power of music to all those who gathered.

It was not long before he began to explore other instruments and ways of using sound to heal and restore. This exploration led him to his guru in Kathmandu with whom he dedicated two years of immersive practice, refining his craft using locally made instruments, such as sound bowls and the all powerful vibrating gong.

Manoj travelled back to the UK with his wife and children bringing these instruments with him with the sole purpose of offering sound healing opportunities to Londoners who are looking for inner peace and rest.

Manoj holds a Certificate in Professional Singing Bowl Therapy, Sound Healing, and Meditation from the Kaivalya Yoga - Spiritual Science and Research Organisation.

His expertise lies in creating transformative experiences by integrating a wide range of sound including voice, to produce a deeply restorative soundscape.

Manoj’s sessions transport listeners to the serene landscapes of the Himalayas, offering a profoundly calming and uplifting experience..
