Hannah Lovegrove trained as a Health & Beauty Therapist at one of the leading colleges in the field – her tutor wrote the UK’s definitive teaching manual for professional therapists. Specialising in natural skin care, massage and aromatherapy, Hannah had several successful salons in Hampshire before having a family and moving to Dorset in 1990. Having practiced yoga for many years, she trained to be an Iyengar Yoga teacher and offers yoga classes, workshops and holidays both in the UK and abroad. In 2004 she contributed the yoga chapter to Sarah Stacey and Michael Dooley’s book ‘Your Change Your Choice’ about women and the menopause.
