Hannah Arnold, Ph.D, is passionate about introducing leaders, professionals, and academics to the world of healing and spirituality. Having been one of ‘them’, she understands innately how it feels to live with no conscious awareness of the world of energy. She comes from a highly intellectual German family, earned her Ph.D from Oxford at 26, worked in the German Parliament and freelanced for various Publishing Houses. All along, she observed a big discrepancy between how successful she seemed to others and how unfulfilled she felt. In 2015, she gifted herself with a Yoga Teacher training in Costa Rica. Here, she came across Reiki and was introduced to the world of Energy Healing. Her mind was blown wide open. Since then, she has trained in various powerful modalities such as Hypnosis, Reiki, ThetaHealing®, and BodyCode Kinesiology. In 2020, she founded the New Earth School of Reiki, with the mission of teaching a modernised, to-the-point version of the century-old Reiki system. Reiki is very easy to learn and the perfect starting point for people who don’t quite know if the whole energy thing is actually real and, if it is, how they can connect with it. Hannah’s speciality is helping her clients make their high sensitivity, which they previously hid behind their brain powers, their new super power!
