I'm Hannah Jay, a business operations builder, WordPress developer, and healing practitioner who has spent over a decade figuring out how systems work and making them better. By day I architect digital infrastructure: funnels, automations, email campaigns, custom WordPress builds, and the backend logic that turns a vision into something people can actually move through. I thrive on troubleshooting, solving problems that don't have an obvious answer yet, and thinking about the least tech-savvy person in the room at the same time as the most. By practice I'm an energy worker, Reiki Master, breathwork facilitator, and light language practitioner. I co-founded Sacred Soul Alchemy, a healing and ceremony business, where I built everything a customer touches from the ground up, and learned firsthand that the systems behind transformational work are just as sacred as the work itself. I'm drawn to companies where operations is an act of care, where depth matters more than speed, and where the backend is built with the human on the other end always in mind. If that sounds like your world, I'd love to connect.
