hi, I’m Alona!
Here’s a little bit about me:
First and foremost—I’m a MOM. I have two amazing kiddos who are very close in age, and let me tell you... motherhood is no joke. It’s hands-down the hardest, yet most rewarding job I’ve ever had the privilege of doing. It’s taught me strength, patience, the most incredible unconditional LOVE… and, yes—a stress like no other. LOL.
I was thrown into motherhood with a child born with complex medical needs. Very quickly, I learned I had to become an advocate for my daughter’s health. I had to ask the hard questions, push for answers, and fight to be heard.
She is alive today because of western medicine, but she is thriving today because of the work we’ve done as a family—leaning into holistic alternatives that have helped her overcome illness and truly FLOURISH.
I know firsthand what it feels like to be lost in the medical system. To not be heard. To feel dismissed.
That’s why I’m so passionate about creating a space where you feel seen, heard, and fully supported. I believe in the power of both worlds—conventional and holistic—working together to support true wellness.
And when it comes to food...
My relationship with it has been complicated for as long as I can remember. I’ve tried all the fad diets. I’ve been nutritionally depleted, hormonally imbalanced, and taught absolutely nothing about sustainability. Through both personal and professional experience, I’ve helped myself—and many other women—find the way out of that dark, hopeless cycle of restrictive eating, binging, and low self-worth.
This transformation didn’t happen overnight. It took time. It took small steps, repeated consistently. But those small steps became the foundation for a sustainable lifestyle. One that helped me shed over 75 lbs, balance my hormones, rebuild my confidence, and feel better than I ever have.
I found a love for movement. A non-judgmental, empowering community. And now I’m blessed to guide others toward finding JOY in nourishing and moving their bodies in ways that feel good and sustainable.
I originally went to school to become a paramedic, and in my early twenties, it was an exhilarating career. But over time, I realized my true passion for helping others was better suited to a proactive approach to health rather than a reactive one.
After being blessed with my daughter—and navigating her swallowing difficulties, a celiac diagnosis, and the conflicting advice I received from various dietitians—I knew I had to dive deeper. I craved an evidence-based, functional and holistic approach that truly made sense.
Add in my own personal journey through chronic stress, emotional eating, and weight struggles, and it became clear: I needed more tools, not just for my family, but for myself.
That’s when I went back to school and became a Certified Holistic Nutritional Consultant and Fitness Coach—to empower others to FLOURISH in their own lives.
I’m deeply passionate about working collaboratively with my clients to create customized nutrition and lifestyle plans that actually fit into real, chaotic, beautifully messy lives.
And above all—I’m here to help educate and inspire you to see the power of your incredible body and all that it’s capable of.
