As a highly sensitive and neurodivergent individual myself, I, Hana Clare Raftery, understand the challenges of burnout and the importance of creative aliveness. As a Somatic Life Coach, Occupational Therapist, Yoga Teacher, Ayurvedic Health Counselor, Breathwork Facilitator, Reiki Healer, and Safe & Sound Protocol Provider, I specialize in supporting people with highly sensitive nervous systems to heal from burnout and cultivate their creative aliveness.
My Story
As someone who has experienced burnout firsthand, I know how overwhelming and frustrating it can be. I've struggled with chronic fatigue, anxiety, and depression, and I've had to navigate the complexities of sensory processes sensitivities, trauma, and neurodiversity. Through my own journey of healing, I've discovered the importance of prioritizing my own aliveness and creativity.
My Mission
My mission is to empower individuals like you to reclaim their creative aliveness and thrive in a world that often values productivity over people. I believe that healing from burnout is not just about self-care, but about system change and community care. By understanding your unique nervous system needs, I can help you develop strategies to manage overwhelm and cultivate a sense of rest and rejuvenation.

Understanding Burnout
Burnout is a complex issue that affects individuals with highly sensitive nervous systems more often and intensely. It's not just about "working less" and "resting more." Traditional approaches to burnout might not work for everyone, especially those with sensory processing sensitivities, trauma, or neurodiversity. A somatic approach, grounded in polyvagal theory and somatics, can help you understand your unique nervous system needs and develop strategies to manage overwhelm and cultivate creative aliveness.
Creative Aliveness
Your creative aliveness is critical for your own healing and for our collective healing. As humans, we are innately creative beings when our nervous systems have what they need. Your creative expression is both a result of a regulated nervous system and a key ingredient for your own healing and our collective healing. By bringing your creativity to life, you'll bring yourself back to life.
