About
A Splendid Tending
Here, we believe that empowerment begins in your emotional garden. I'm so excited to support folks with tools and perspectives to tend to their own emotional gardens.
About Emotional Design
The Emotional Design mascot is a heart with glasses because this practice is all about acknowledging the wisdom, power, and design capabilities of our emotions.
Emotional Design is based on the understanding that our thoughts and feelings determine what we are able to experience. Our thoughts and feelings create the lens that we see through, shaping what we perceive, as well as magnetizing us to conditions and experiences that match the emotional tone of those thoughts and feelings.
These tools are all about authentic feeling, empowered creativity, and nurturing our dreams into fruition.
I work on A Splendid Tending and my other creative projects from my home office in Asheville, North Carolina. I often am working with a mug of chai, a bowl of popcorn, and a myriad of watercolor sets.
Every day, my daughter, my partner, and my beloved friends and family are on my gratitude list. I am known for being obsessed with honey, lace, and dust.
Hannah's Other Practices:
The person behind A Splendid Tending
This practice is tended to by me, Hannah Lee Hoffman. I am an artist who loves playing in many art forms and empowering others to be playful and creative in their own lives.
After studying art at UC Berkeley, I felt an intuitive urge to cross the country and move to Maine. In that experience, and in many subsequent leaps-of-faith, I’ve learned that the most powerful thing we can do to shape our experience is to imagine it into being. And, I have learned that our ability to imagine effectively is directly related to our emotional state.
This is where A Splendid Tending comes in. I have compiled my philosophy and practical tools for navigating emotional awareness and emotional design into a curriculum that I customize to each individual client in one-on-one Tending Sessions.
I am not a licensed counselor, and my work does not involve any form of diagnosis. The Tending Sessions can be a complement to or an alternate form of therapy or counseling. In our sessions, the focus is on emotional and creative empowerment.
