The Nest Team

  • Hannah Sander - Founder & Director

    I am Hannah founder of The Nest and co creator of the Happy Me concept. I live in Sevenoaks with my blended family including my husband, 6 children and new puppy Nesto. My career has been varied mainly in property, time spent working overseas and my last role finished in 2022 when I was working for the NHS, consulting with families with a recent diagnosis of dementia. Although my last role was deeply rewarding I had a underlying desire to do MORE, have impact on others and my own life. This led me on a journey of self discovery, through the coaching programme we deliver here at The Nest I learnt I was able to step into my greatness and I was able to fulfil my dreams. From this THE NEST was designed to give the ultimate wellness experience for the whole family. From the moment you step in I have styled a space that looks, smells and feels everything you can wish for. I look forward to welcoming you to The Nest very soon.

  • Colin Slade - The Nest Chief & Director

    A founding director and fondly regarded as the “Nest Chief”. Rather than focus on where I’ve been I tend to believe in shifting that focus on where I want to go and who I want to be. My main role is giving support and direction where needed although having such a fantastic and talented team makes my job easy. The Nest is about bringing our community of passionate experts together and collaborating in such a way to utilise their strengths to forge a centre of excellence and a safe space for You, your Health, Wellness and Happiness. Our core beliefs are Nurture, Flourish and Thrive. We are building for the future by having several generations of family within our framework, with inclusivity, valued input and opinions to keep us “young at heart”, dynamic and successful.

  • Amanda Slade - Master Coach & Ultimate Success Mentor

    I am Amanda, the Master Coach and Ultimate Success Mentor here at The Nest. This enterprise has bloomed and blossomed as we've discovered even more areas of need in our community. As a qualified and experienced Master NLP practitioner and corporate coach, we are looking to build on a foundation of ultimate health and wellness for our members. After my own journey through seasons of my life, including becoming a parent early, going through divorce, remarriage, and building four successful businesses before qualifying as a coach, I will be overseeing all the coaching and striving to support and develop this incredible, 'full of life' environment. My passion lies in helping individuals and teams reach their full potential, and I'm excited to be a part of your journey to success and well-being.
