About Alana
“My own journey to wellness led me to discover the profound power of homeopathy and flower remedies. They enabled me to completely transform my health and my understanding of wellness and illness, and to live a life free of daily conventional medications. During the last 15 years these tools have been a constant companion to my family. We use them to support us through everyday ups and downs before they turn into bigger challenges, to address acute illness, and for deeper health issues as well. I’ve also been fortunate to use homeopathy almost exclusively for my son, which has shown me how beneficial a gentle, holistic approach can be from the beginning of life.”
I believe that vitality, presence and joy are our birthright — but so are struggle, change, and illness! We all experience dis-ease, and profound transitions that challenge our sense of self and well being. I have lived it too. As a homeopath, I view these two sides of life as deeply connected, as it is in addressing our health challenges and emotional struggles — both large and small — that we are able to find greater resilience, joy, and ease.
I work with a combination of classical homeopathy, health coaching, and flower essences to support wellness at multiple levels: homeopathy to trigger the body’s innate healing response into action, health coaching to remove lifestyle factors that might stand in the way of better health, and flower essences to smooth out the emotional bumps in the road — and for their easy and forgiving nature because I love to offer my clients tools that they can use on their own if they wish!
I have a special interest in supporting clients through significant life transitions such as parenting milestones, menopause, medical diagnoses, addiction recovery, and end-of-life care. These events often throw us out of balance, but when supported they can be tremendous opportunities for growth as they give us a window into what the body/mind/spirit is struggling with.
I am guided by a spirit curiosity, collaboration, and compassion, and would be honored to accompany you in your healing.
