Alana always knew she wanted to work one-on-one with people in a meaningful profession that would help support, educate, and empower them. After taking college courses in fetal and infant motor development and women’s health and reproductive rights, her interests in birth began to develop. She was introduced to doula work after being a nanny for 11 years and working for a number of women who had had traumatic birth experiences. Hearing their stories motivated and inspired her to want to learn everything about birth.

Alana is captivated by birth and the amazing things of which our bodies are capable. Having a science and physical therapy background, she loves the anatomy and physiology side, but feels compelled to the mental and emotional side as well. She has always had a desire to help and be of service, and is a natural nurturer. Birth work is a perfect combination of everything that fascinates her and something she feels she is inherently meant to do. 

In her free time you can find Alana on a hike or exploring new destinations in nature, inventing new recipes in the kitchen, getting sunburned at the beach and floating in the waves, re-watching my favorite rom coms, traveling to new places, cuddling with my cat, or skateboarding at a local skate park.
