About Alana

Alana's holistic natural health business is based out of her 10-acre hobby farm in Maple Grove, MN, where she also homeschools her four teenage children and teaches fitness classes at two local gyms. With nearly 30 years of experience in the field of health promotion, Alana draws on her knowledge of anatomy & physiology, muscle testing (applied kinesiology), natural & alternative health, psychology, and the mind-body-spirit connection. Guided by her inquisitive nature, love of learning, problem-solving skills, open-mindedness, emotional intelligence, intuition, and deep spirituality, Alana helps her clients find their best next steps toward health and wellness in all aspects of life.
