"Hanen, you have been such a powerhouse example for all of us. Not just with workouts, but in general, being a wife, mother, friend. Moving across the world into a country that you have never lived in, can be quite daunting. I admire how you embrace all of the newness in your life. You tackle challenges And show the world how to survive and thrive.
Thank you so much for being a part of our motherhood community." -Shannon Slayer, FIt4Mom Franchise Owner
"I love having Hanen in my virtual total body class! She really pushes herself and makes the most of her 30 mins of me time." -Annie Sevel, Fit4Mom Instructor
