Hannah Cherny, MSHN, HTMAp Biography
Hannah Cherny holds a Master of Science in Holistic Nutrition from Hawthorn University, with an undergraduate degree in Cognitive and Social Psychology. Over the past seven years, she has studied Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) extensively, beginning with Dr. Rick Malter’s foundational course and continuing her education through additional trainings with leaders in the field.
In addition to her HTMA background, Hannah is certified in the Root Cause Protocol (RCP), which expanded her expertise in mineral balancing—particularly concerning copper and iron dynamics. She is also trained in Neuro-Emotional Technique (NET), a research-backed modality designed to help clients release unresolved emotional stress and past traumas.
Hannah has worked in multiple clinical settings alongside physicians, serving as a certified health coach and nutrition specialist. In these roles, she gained practical experience interpreting HTMA data and guiding clients toward healing through nutrition, lifestyle changes, and natural therapies. She believes deeply in the integration of lab testing, therapeutic modalities, and holistic strategies to uncover and address the root causes of imbalances. HTMA was her first introduction to functional medicine and continues to be a cornerstone of her practice.
Originally from the Chicago suburbs, Hannah has lived across the U.S., including Sarasota, FL; Sedona, AZ; and Kansas City, MO. She now resides in sunny Tampa, Florida, where she enjoys year-round gardening—often applying her mineral knowledge to her thriving organic garden. When she’s not at the beach or tending to her plants, Hannah proudly embraces the nickname “Health Detective,” a title given to her by clients who appreciate her thoughtful, thorough approach.
