About Alana
Hi, Iām Alana! I grew up in a big Italian family that loved cooking and connecting around the table. My path to nutrition wasnāt linearāit involved self-discovery and a passion for helping others. After college, I struggled with my relationship with food. Meeting with a dietitian helped me see food differently and inspired me to return to school to become a dietitian myself. Now, with five years of experience, I specialize in intuitive eating and an all-foods-can-fit approach that helps people build sustainable, balanced relationships with food. Iāve supported individuals managing metabolic disease, cancer, IBS, heart disease, and those looking to improve overall wellness. Through one-on-one counseling and group educationāincluding classes I created on intuitive eating and gut healthāIāve helped clients reduce medications, improve labs, and make lasting changes aligned with their goals.
Approach to care
I believe in a whole health approach to counseling meaning you are more than just numbers. I consider your physical, mental, and spiritual needs and like to ask open ended questions to get at the root of your issue. I believe in giving my patients the tools they need in order to feel empowered to make their own choices and offer encouragement and accountability to help them reach their goals.
Your first session with Alana
Please tell me about yourself! While I am here to help you reach your personal health goals, I love to know more about you and what matters most to you. Why are you wanting to see changes? How will your life change if you reach these goals? Feel free to share as much or as little relevant information as you'd like but understand that my priority will always be your well-being and making sure I am meeting you where you are.
