Make Your Next Big Leap
& start living the life you truly desire.
Stop settling for “good enough”
A somatic approach to help you break through your upper limits and lead from your inner wisdom.
The Shift You’re Craving-
Do you feel a deep longing for something more? Are you ready to move beyond what’s comfortable and step into what makes you feel alive?
“Something’s off about my life. I feel restless and frustrated. I have this hunch that everything was supposed to be more beautiful than this.” - Glennon Doyle
I read this line in Glennon Doyle’s bestselling book, Untamed and I had a physical, full-body reaction. It was a feeling I’d been having, something I hadn’t yet been able to put into words. I knew right then and there I had to make a change. But where would I start?
Say it with me:
I am allowed to want more than good enough.
I am allowed to want MORE - joy, love, balance, rest, ease, success, wealth, play, abundance.
My Approach:
The Shift from Surviving to Thriving.
As a Big Leap Certified Coach through The Hendricks Institute, my body-based approach to coaching helps you transform your life using somatic tools, mindset shifts, and conscious living principles.
My goal is to support you in moving beyond simply surviving, into a life where you feel truly alive, aligned, and fulfilled—a life that reflects what you want most. No matter how 'wild' your dream may feel to others, if it matters to you, let’s make it happen.
What is Somatic Coaching?
Somatic work connects you with the wisdom of your body.
We don't just talk about your goals; we work with your physical nervous system to release old patterns and stuck emotions that are holding you back. This deep, embodied work leads to authentic and lasting transformation.
In our sessions, we utilize proven somatic exercises to help you ground yourself in reality, make conscious choices, and follow through with aligned action.
You will learn to -
Focus on the breath
Understand & accept your emotions
Learn your to decode your body’s physical sensations
Allow yourself to feel more and more positive feelings
This is What’s Possible for YOU.

“Working with Alana has been one of the most transformative experiences I’ve had. Through her somatic work, I learned to truly sit with my emotions and to allow myself to validate what I feel instead of suppressing it... I began seeing myself with more compassion, approaching my emotions with awareness, and choosing intentional action instead of avoidance.”

My time with Alana gave me clarity on the power I have to make the life changes I want to make. I was able to recognize limiting beliefs and imagine alternatives. Alana guided me through challenging personal terrain in a way that felt friendly, effortless and empowering.”

Hi, I’m Alana.
I believe we all deserve to have a life we LOVE.
Are you ready to make the change you’ve been dreaming of? I’m here to help you reconnect with your body, your intuition & your strength to step into your most confident, fulfilled self.
Now a Certified Big Leap Coach trained under The Hendricks Institute, I am a someone who has taken many “Big Leaps” myself over the past 10 years. I know what it feels like to long for a life that feels more authentic, more balanced and more joyful….Yet stand in the face of resistance, fear and the uncertainty that comes with trying something new.
I didn’t always think it was possible, to truly LOVE my life. Through this work though, I’ve found it really is. We all have so much power, choice and wisdom. We’re not always taught to believe we do have our own inherent power, choice and wisdom, especially as women or People of Color. I want to change that.
My goal is to help you remember how to tap in to your full-body experience, access the wisdom already within you, and reclaim your power to create a life that feels like it’s authentically yours.
Through my training with The Hendricks Institute, I’ve learned directly from Dr. Gay and Dr. Kathlyn Hendricks. The Hendricks are considered to be two of the ‘pioneers of body based work”. I’m trained in The Hendricks’ proven Quantum Coaching System, created from the 40+ years they spent developing and practicing these transformational, body-based tools & techniques.
“People are afraid to pursue their most important dreams because they feel they don’t deserve them or that they’ll be unable to achieve them.”

Frequently asked questions
-
While both coaching and therapy support your personal growth, they serve different purposes:
Focus: Therapy often explores the past to heal old wounds or trauma. Coaching is firmly rooted in the present and future, focusing on where you are now and where you want to go.
Perspective: Therapy is often a clinical relationship focused on healing and diagnosis. Coaching is a co-creative partnership rooted in the belief that you are already whole, capable, and resourceful.
The Goal: If therapy is about moving from "suffering" to "functional," coaching is about moving from "functional" to "extraordinary." Coaching is not about "fixing" you, I am here to help you create the life YOU most want.
Scope: I do not diagnose or treat mental health conditions. Coaching is an investment in your expansion and self-mastery.
-
