Hello, I'm Alana

Before I became a health coach, I spent eight years on the global marketing team at IDEO, the consulting firm known for human-centered design. My work there was about taking complex ideas and translating them into something clear, compelling, and human. It's the same thing I do now, just applied to health.

I'm a certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and am currently working toward board certification with the National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching. But what I bring to this work isn't just credentials. It's a trained eye for patterns, a bias toward simplicity, and a genuine belief that the right small changes, made consistently, are what move the needle over time.

My own turning point came during pregnancy, when I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and began checking my blood glucose four times a day. For the first time I could see in real time exactly how my choices had an effect on my body. That kind of immediate feedback changed how I think about health, and eventually led me here.

I'm also a California native and mama of three who believes laughter and a walk are the best reset. I'd love to meet you and learn what brought you here.
