Meet Hannah

I’m Hannah Kopen—
a relationship coach, somatic embodiment facilitator, and House DJ working towards her marriage and family therapy license.

I help individuals and couples break reactive patterns, regulate their nervous system, and build relationships that actually feel safe, connected, and alive.

This work isn’t just about insight.
It’s about changing how you show up in real time.

Most people don’t struggle in relationships because they don’t know better.
They struggle because their nervous system is running the show.

That’s where I come in.

My approach blends:

  • somatic therapy

  • attachment science

  • nervous system regulation

  • and real-world communication tools

So you’re not just talking about your patterns—you’re interrupting and rewiring them as they happen.

Alongside my clinical training in Marriage and Family Therapy, my 8 years experience in integrative life coaching, somatic embodiment, movement, and music gives this work a different depth.

Because lasting change doesn’t come from talking alone.
It comes from what your body learns is safe.

I don’t just sit and analyze your past.

I help you:

  • catch your reactions in real time

  • understand what’s underneath them

  • and shift them while you’re actually in it

This is active, relational, and grounded work.

No over-processing.
No endless loops.

Just clear patterns, real tools, and embodied change.

Music has always been part of how I understand people.

As a DJ, I’ve watched what happens when someone feels safe enough to let go, move, and come back into themselves.

That same principle applies to relationships.

When your nervous system is regulated:

  • you listen differently

  • you respond differently

  • you connect differently

This work is about creating that shift—
whether we’re in session, or you’re out living your life.

You cannot think your way out of a dysregulated nervous system.

You can understand your trauma, your attachment style, your patterns…

…and still feel stuck.

Dance bypasses that loop.

It creates:

  • expression without needing language

  • release without needing explanation

  • connection without needing perfection

My Non-Negotiable VALUES:

  • Integrity: The state of being whole and undiminished

  • Safe Space: Where you can be you, held in all your enoughness

  • Intuition: Knowing to trust yourself

  • Creativity: Own your self-expression

  • Transformation: Release your inner badass

  • Community: Because no woman is an island

  • Joy: Embrace the good vibes and spread that sparkle wherever you go!

  • Resilience: Brush off the haters like a diva and rise like a phoenix from the ashes!

  • Authenticity: Rock your true self, 'cause there's no one else quite like you!

  • Pleasure: Indulge in life's juicy delights and savor every moment like it's a scrumptious piece of chocolate!

  • Neuroscience: It’s not always about the touchy-feely stuff

My Certifications and Expertise:

  • Current Master’s Education: National University in Marriage and Family Therapy

  • Education – Theater, Gender Studies, and Integrated Marketing Communications BA at Northwestern University, Evanston, IL

  • PsychoSomatic Practitioner Training at The Integrative Psychology Institute

  • Integrative Holistic Health Coach - Institute for Integrative Nutrition Certificate

  • Nutritional sciences and intuitive eating expert

  • Somatic Attachment Therapy Certified The Embody Lab

  • Winner of Best Actress in Hammersmith and Dollface - two separate short films presented in the short film corner at Cannes Film Festival

  • Dance and Hip Hop and spoken word poetry as Theater and Therapy

Hannah helps people rebuild trust—with themselves and each other—by working with the nervous system, not just the mind.

Who this is For:

For Individuals:

This work is for you if you feel stuck in patterns that keep repeating—no matter how much you’ve tried to think your way out of them.

You might be:

– in a relationship where the same arguments keep happening on a loop
– the one who shuts down, avoids, or withdraws when things get intense
– the one who over-explains, over-gives, or feels “too much”
– struggling to trust yourself, your decisions, or your partner
– aware of your patterns… but still unable to change them
– living with anxiety, ADHD, or emotional overwhelm in your body
– craving deeper connection, but not knowing how to create it safely

For couples:

You love each other—but something isn’t working.

  • Communication turns into conflict.

  • One of you pursues, the other pulls away.

  • Resentment builds faster than repair.

You don’t need more advice.

You need a way to feel safe enough to relate differently.

Why Music + Movement Matter:

Before I became a relationship coach, I was a dancer.
Before I sat in therapy rooms, I was behind the decks.

And what I’ve learned—through both worlds—is this:

The nervous system responds to rhythm faster than it responds to words.

Music directly impacts:
– heart rate
– breath
– emotional state
– and your body’s sense of safety

That’s not abstract—it’s neuroscience.

When you’re stuck in anxiety, shutdown, or reactivity, talking about it only goes so far.

Your body needs a different pathway.

Movement allows you to:

  • release stored stress and emotional tension

  • come out of freeze or numbness

  • reconnect to sensation and aliveness

  • experience expression without needing to explain

Dance—especially in shared spaces—also creates co-regulation.

It’s practice for:
– attunement
– presence
– connection without pressure

This is why I integrate music and movement into my work.

Not as performance.
Not as something you have to “get right.”

But as a powerful way to help your body reset, regulate, and reconnect.

Sometimes healing happens in conversation.

And sometimes it happens on the dance floor.

Love from my clients

  • An end to People Pleasing

    “I can honestly say choosing Hannah was one of the best decisions ever. She's helped me regain my confidence by holding me accountable and pushing me to make progress in my business.

    She's also taught me how to set healthy boundaries with my family and friends, totally changing my personal relationships for the better. Hannah has been great at helping me overcome my people-pleasing habits. She's shown me how to put myself first, and I feel so much more balanced and grounded now.

    The tools she's given me have also really improved my communication with my partner and the people I care about, making our connections even deeper.”
    - Jena

  • Effective communication

    “My husband and I have deepened and strengthened our relationship in more ways than one. We’ve opened up our hearts to one another more and have had some incredible conversations - things that we’ve not talked about before and ways to help us improve our communication over the next year.


    My ability to communicate with him, and see things from his perspective would not have been possible without all of our hard work together, and I could not be more appreciative.”
    - Lena

  • Somatic Embodiment

    “I took Hannah's Embodied Femme 3 month program and was blown away by how incredibly free I felt afterward. Hannah has an innate ability to gently guide you into feeling more at home and connected to your body.

    When we began the class I was timid about embracing my "sexy siren" but Hannah guided me in an open and playful way that allowed me to relax into the practice and find joy and comfort in movement. I (quite literally) laughed, sweat, lept, cartwheeled and cried throughout the sessions and left feeling powerful and confident.

    Hannah has such a gift for teaching and providing a safe space in which to explore the depths of your soul.”
    - Cailin

  • Your truth is your medicine

    “Hannah shared ways to keep my anxiety down, how to feel and honor my own truth. How to know that it is OK for me to speak my truth, even if it’s not what others want. I can make decisions and choose what is right for me and my family.

    I don’t always have to say YES to everything, NO is a complete sentence & I can use it! Hannah even shared amazing resources for me to continue to use and work through for myself.”
    - Janelle

  • Self-Worth

    “She’s helped me acknowledge and accept parts of myself that I never thought were worth paying attention to. I've gained confidence as a woman and as a creative and ambitious individual after the coaching programs, more importantly, I've gained a wise and caring lifelong friend.”
    - Kim

  • New found confidence and Career

    “I have a better relationship with my husband, I have a better relationship with my parents and my family, and I was able to stick up for myself with both my family and at work -

    so much so, that I got a brand new job that pays me so much more and values me for the work that I do - all because of the confidence I felt inside of Hannah’s program. I could not have done all that without her.”
    - Maureen

  • A PRO like Hannah

    Absolutely loved this first meeting with Hannah. Really looking forward to working with her. I’m impressed with her knowledge, background, and personable style. She covered all the areas I’m concerned with, and I think we are pretty simpatico philosophically.

    The simple act of partnering with a pro like Hannah is a great step for me, of paying regular and consistent attention to these health matters. The old aphorism has it that “energy flows where attention goes,” and, as I plan to pay great attention over coming months, my intuition is that I will see real change. Thanks Hannah!

a little more about me

Alongside my therapy work, I’m also a DJ.

And this isn’t random—it’s part of how I understand healing.

Music and rhythm directly impact the brain and nervous system. They influence heart rate, emotional state, and regulation faster than words alone.

Movement helps the body:
– release stored stress
– complete emotional cycles
– reconnect to sensation and aliveness

For many people, healing doesn’t happen through insight.

It happens when the body is given a way to move, feel, and reset.

My work is rooted in both training and lived experience.

I’ve done my own deep work around:
– relationship patterns
– emotional regulation
– disordered eating
– people-pleasing and self-abandonment

And I’ve combined that with formal study in psychology, neuroscience, and somatic practices through my Marriage and Family Therapy training.

What This Means for YOU:

This is a space where you don’t have to:
– perform
– have the “right” words
– or figure it all out alone

Whether we’re working together in session or you’re stepping onto a dance floor at one of my events—

the goal is the same:

Helping you feel safe enough in your body to create real change in your life and relationships.

If you’re ready to stop repeating the same patterns
and actually build something secure, honest, and connected—

I’d love to work with you.
