Nineteen Nutrition Questions With HANNAH BARRETT

Hannah is a chartered accountant by trade and is currently expecting her first baby girl to hubby, Beauden Barrett. When she isn’t out walking her cute mini schnauzers, you will find her cooking up a storm in the kitchen or sweating it out at Pilates or F45. Passionate about health and fitness with an awesome approach to wellness, I am really excited to include the gorgeous Hannah in the ‘nineteen series!'
