Richard Hanbury followed a childhood passion for horses to study Arabic in order to build community with fellow horse-owners worldwide. His pursuit took him to the Middle East where he met with a near death accident. He survived the event with a lifelong spinal cord injury. In grappling with the chronic pain he was experiencing post-incident, he developed a technique to relieve his suffering inspired by the principles of meditation. His approach resolved his pain in its entirety and he has made it his life's purpose to make the treatment more accessible to people. He founded his company Sana.io which makes good on that mission.
