Hannah was a great coach. She guides you from the building blocks of communicating effectively with your partner to the final product of building a budget. My wife and I went into her program with two goals in mind: 1. To communicate more effectively and civilly regarding finances. 2. To create a transparent plan we both agree on and stick to it. I feel like we are definitely in a better spot on goal one, and two is still a matter of discovering what needs and wants we have and want to incorporate into our plan. There are probably cheaper methods of getting this going, however the caveat of life often applies..."You get what you pay for." Hannah was worth every penny.

I would, and do, recommend Hanna to anyone looking to feel more confident and in control of their finances. Her tools are approachable and entirely customizable, focused on making the system work for YOU instead of the other way around. She works with financial states big and small, making you feel central to it all. Hanna is extremely communicative in the process as well as focuses on ridding shame, restriction, and fear from making a sustainable system. I feel so empowered to go forth and accomplish financial goals on my own, even ones that I thought were completely off the table, after completing this program. 11/10 Recommend!

We came to Hanna & Pacific Stoa in a moment of panic, stress and overwhelm and are leaving with tools and systems that have revolutionized the way we communicate about money, think about money, and track money. The courses helped to challenge a lot of limiting beliefs I had in place and helped to build trust in our relationship with one another and our finances. The system that Hanna helped us build is adaptable, flexible, easy to use and has helped us to manage our budget so much more effectively. We are so grateful to Hanna for her expertise and for what she has helped us to achieve!

I don't know that I can express how important Hanna's council was to me and my wife. We struggled to figure out how to talk to each other about our financial priorities and Hanna set us up with the tools to be able to make these conversations productive and work for us. The most important bit that we learned however was that this is work that constantly happens and not a destination that you arrive at. Thank you Hanna.

Hanna is AMAZING. I cannot recommend her enough. Taking the leap to work with a financial coach is hard but Hanna and her curriculum make the entire process so rewarding. After working with Hanna my husband and I think about money differently, communicate more effectively and have a feeling of control over our expenses and plans for the future. This was such a positive and helpful experience and everyone should learn these skills! Thank you again!!

Working with Hanna has been a game changer in discussing finances and budgeting with my partner. Hanna is patient, empathetic, flexible, and incredibly bright. She tailored her program to meet our needs and fulfilled all of our expectations (and then some!). We now have a selection of tools to use to work toward our finanical goals for our family, including a budget template that we co-created to meet our needs. We had a great experience and although have graduated from our work with Hanna, she remains available to us if needed.

The counseling Hanna provides to you about organizing thoughts around finances and communicating better with your spouse about money is life-changing. Her nonjudgemental, systematic, and empathetic approach to helping you understand and take control of your finances is empowering and stress-relieving!

Chris Roe

Hanna helped my spouse and I learn to communicate about money and gave us tools to begin budgeting. We are both extremely hopeful about our future finances and ability to work as a team. We would definitely not be at this point without Hanna's help. I'll be forever grateful for her partnership with us in this stage of our financial journey.

Hannah helped my husband and I understand communication with one another regarding a budget as well as assisted us in building a budget tool that was customized to us! Our habits changed and we have a new relationship with our personal finances
