About Us
Providing mentorship and guidance, Mentoring with Han is here to support you with the challenges that come with being trans, gender diverse, or supporting someone who is.
Hannah uses not just her own lived experience as a trans person, but close to 15 years experience working in the mental health and disability sector to help people with a vast range of challenges that can come with being trans and gender diverse.
But it's not all about challenges, a key part of Mentoring with Han is planning to succeed, thrive, and achieve the goals you've always wanted. Hannah is all about positivity and the power that comes with it, utilising the skills and talents we all have inside of us to be the version of yourself that you want to be, not what others have decided you should be.
By way of lived experience Hannah has encountered almost everything you can as a trans person. From working out who she is to telling those around her, Hannah has competed on the world stage as an athlete both pre and post transition, experienced homelessness, worked in the media, founded and run a nation wide company and received awards for her advocacy work. Prior to transition, Hannah also briefly served in the Royal Australian Navy.
Hannah has seen first hand just how much is possible for trans people with the right support, work ethic and drive, and it's with that in mind that Mentoring with Han is here to not just help you survive, but thrive.
Our Philosophy
Mentoring with Han is all about positivity, and that being trans or gender diverse can be a super power. From the happiness and contentment that can come from living authentically, to the wisdom and understanding that can come from navigating the world through a different lens, Mentoring with Han is not just about overcoming challenges and navigating transitions, it's about being the best version of yourself possible.
That is not to hide away from the fact that there are challenges that come with being trans or gender diverse, but with a few simple foundations, these can be small bumps in the road rather than mountains to climb.
Mentoring with Han emphasises self care, community, positivity and most importantly, consistency rather than perfection. No one is ever going to be 100% at everything all the time, but with good, repeatable habits and a structure that is right for you, everyone really can achieve more than what they think.
At Mentoring with Han, there is no cookie cutter approach. We understand everyone is different, not just in who they are, but in their environment, lived experience, culture, what they enjoy and what they want their life to look like. We make sure that everything that makes you who you are is at the center of what we do together, and that there is absolutely nothing wrong with trying something and realising that maybe it wasn't exactly the right fit.
Ultimately, this is your journey, and what that looks like is totally directed by you. Mentoring with Han simply gives you the tools and guidance to make the most of everyday.
