Background
I believe that each of our bodies is unique, and that learning how to best nourish ourselves can be a challenging yet incredibly fulfilling journey. Food plays an integral role in how we care for the health of our bodies, communities, and the planet. My combined interests in cooking and health inspired me to pursue my bachelor's degree in Clinical Nutrition at the University of California, Davis and subsequently my Masters of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics from Texas Tech University. I completed my dietetic internship in Cape Cod, Massachusetts and currently live in San Diego, California. Since becoming a dietitian, I have worked with individuals with eating disorders and in a non-profit setting providing medically supportive meals, nutrition resources and food skills education to underserved communities. In my free time, I love to run, cook, travel, and practice yoga. As your dietitian, I will be there to listen and support you through your journey towards finding joy, peace and healing through food. After I get to know you and your individual needs, preferences, and challenges, we will work together to set and achieve realistic goals that support your overall health and quality of life.

Approach
My name is Alana and I believe that fueling our bodies should be joyful, intuitive, and delicious. Nutrition is about providing our bodies with the nourishment they need and appreciating them for all of the incredible things that they allow us to do. My goal as a dietitian is to help all of my clients develop sustainable eating practices that support their long-term health while taking their unique lifestyle, preferences, and food resources into account.
