Alana is such a wealth of knowledge! I learned so much from her just from a consultation, where she took such care and time to listen to my struggles and navigate the best course of action for my plan. She was attentive and so attune with what my needs would be in a short time. I am so excited to continue working with her and have recommended her to my friends already!

She’s knowledgable and a great listener. I feel I’m in great hands in getting my health and eating habits back on tack.

Alana is extremely personable and welcoming - I felt at ease during our first session and felt like I've learned so much already! She is very attentive and her vast experience across various wellness sectors is evident through her holistic approach. I will absolutely be back to see her and would highly recommend her services to anyone looking to reset the mind, body and soul. Thank you, Alana!
More than 1 year agoAlex W.Verified patient
Alana is one of the best dietitians/nutritionists I have ever worked with. She is extremely knowledgable about the space and really took the time to understand my needs and challenges. She is super easy to talk to and made the experience feel more like a chat with a very close friend as opposed to visiting a regular doctor (which is never very pleasant). Overall I had a great experience with Alana and can't wait to apply everything I've learned to my own life (and share the progress!) Thanks Alana!
June 25, 2020Bogdan D.Verified patient
I am surprised by the positive reviews. I found her to be knowledgeable, but largely apathetic and unprofessional. She frequently checked her phone and texted throughout our meetings. She also recommended I keep a food journal that she would review; however, she would begin every session asking "So what have you been eating?" I do not recommend.

Alana was amazing. She was very personal and provided good resources. I loved working with her and wish that my insurance allowed me to work more with her. I would recommend her to anyone & everyone!
May 28, 2019Sami M.Verified patient
Alana was an angel. I have suffered from a stomach disorder for years which has caused me to learn a great deal about health and nutrition. When visiting with Alana, I immediately knew she was legit. We discussed everything from my research and findings and how they aligned with what she recommends and how she works. While right now, our stars do not align up for us to work together, I do plan on working with her and I am excited to see the results. If you are serious about your health and you are willing to put in the work, then invest in Alana.
May 13, 2019Monica M.Verified patient
Alana was very nice and clearly knowledgable about holistic approaches to nutrition and weight loss. However, though insurance is accepted for the consultation, the program she offers is boutique and out of pocket. Therefore, you end up paying a copay for no real reason unless you choose to then join her boutique program. She is lovely if this is what you're looking for--but maybe not the best fit for this website.

I couldn’t be more thrilled to have connected with Alana. She has an incredible vibe and I felt comfortable, optimistic, and understood throughout our whole meeting. I can’t wait to get started with her program. I’m so confident that Alana will be able to tackle all of the issues that no other doctor or nutritionist ever has. Go see her!!
May 2, 2019Alexandra L.Verified patient
Being in recovery from an eating disorder is murky, to say the least. But working with Alana has made it feel so much clearer. When I leave a session, I feel invigorated, supported, and confident. I always walk away with objectives and challenges to take on the next week and a fresh perspective. She doesn’t promise you life is going to be all roses. She knows it won’t be. But she helps you work toward a life where, as she once put it, you see the flowers before the weeds. She’s helped me tremendously in feeling less overpowered by food and food anxiety, and I’m so grateful.
More than 1 year agoMaggie M.Verified patient
Alana is always a pleasure to visit. I've been having undiagnosed digestive problems for as long as I can remember and instead of recommending an elimination diet she guided me through the steps to figure out the particular foods that trigger bad reactions. I leave her office feeling as though I've also had a mini therapy session, with clear steps to follow to look after my mental and physical health.
April 15, 2019Rachel M.Verified patient
Every visit I have with Alana is productive, encouraging and detailed. I really appreciate her personal approach to helping me develop new nutrition habits with a long-term goal in mind. Alana has been the first nutritionist that I have worked with that has gone above and beyond with a personalized approach of meal plans and constructive feedback. Her unique view of all aspects of nutrition is what brought me to her practice and I am not disappointed!
April 8, 2019Jonathan C.Verified patient
My experience with Alana’s holistic health life coaching program, her philosophies, protocols and overall approach to whole body wellness was exactly what I was looking for.
It taught me important strategies that influenced my relationship to my body through intelligent diet education and supplementation protocols; her expertise in mindfulness based stress reduction techniques, equipped me with strategies that enhanced and my ability to contribute at my job and be present in my relationships.
March 30, 2019Raquel L.Verified patient
I was disappointed with my visit. I didn’t feel like Alana was fully engaged in the conversation and she didn’t give me satisfactory answers about why certain foods and ingredients were bad. It was very broad advice that was was delivered in a judgy kind of way.
More than 1 year agoInitials hidden
Alana's insight and soothing nature was exactly what I needed in a nutritionist. I didn't know what I was working with in regards to my weight, and BMI, but she was able to get that information to me. Nothing about this process was overwhelming or frustrating. She's super patient, and very calming. I'm grateful that her practice is modern, but with ancient ideologies in terms of holistic care. Thank you!
March 19, 2019Paola G.Verified patient
First sign of hope in a long time for my digestive issues, she was able to help me realize the root of all my problems and give me a comprehensive plan to heal myself.
March 19, 2019Katy W.Verified patient
Alana is a skilled nutritionist with a unique and refreshing approach. In the past few months she has helped me shift my attitude towards dieting and clear up some bothersome recurring stomach issues. I highly recommend Alana to anyone looking for a holistic nutritionist that is trustworthy, positive, and has great philosophies around clean eating.
March 20, 2019Riana Z.Verified patient
Alana is very helpful and best of all, she didn't make me feel pressured or judged. She was gentle when giving me feedback and information. Very helpful!
January 25, 2019Jessica D.Verified patient
Alana is amazing very knowledgeable, kind and more importantly upfront about her services, billing and insurance. Very helpful for me as a 30 something! I highly recommend!
January 18, 2019Lauren P.Verified patient
Alana was very warm and welcoming. She created a safe space for me to speak freely (perhaps shed a few tears) and be myself. As someone who’s really into eastern medicine, her combined knowledge of wellness and nutrition made her really stand out to me. She was able to offer help through wellness practices in addition to dietary and supplementary suggestions. I felt like it was the full package, I would highly recommend.
December 31, 2018Devon K.Verified patient
Alana is amazing! Very clearly knows what she's doing and I love that she has a non-judgemental, zen approach to nutrition. A lot of nutritionists can be kind of judgy especially when looking at a food diary but Alana is very chill and offers great advice.
I love her wholistic outlook and ability to be flexible with a lot of things. I've already lost weight (which wasn't the main reason I went but served as a bonus!) would definitely recommend her.
January 3, 2019Elyssa S.Verified patient
Alana is great: thoughtful and kind, she listens intently and offers astute and creative solutions. She has seen connections that other doctors have missed. In just my first visit Alana has given me solid guidelines and support to put me on a much better path to health.
I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
More than 1 year agoZachary A.Verified patient
She's very nice courteous and professional, her office is Tiny( very small), but always treats her customers / patients with a smile on her face which makes your day great whether you having a good day or a bad day.
September 23, 2018Akiva H.Verified patient
My visit with Dr. Alana was great. She listened very well to my concerns and how I would like to drive my nutrition. She is very knowledgeable and guide me through a good start to a healthier journey
September 17, 2018Josefina R.Verified patient
Alana has been so helpful! Her calm vibe makes me feel comfortable to talk to her about anything. I love her holistic approach because it includes all aspects of health. I am seeing results from weeks to week and feel confident when I leave her office!
More than 1 year agoEmma B.Verified patient
Visiting Alana was physically and mentally a very positive experience. Her holistic approach towards mind and body makes the weigh loss journey--- pleasant. One of the things Alana helps is with the mental relation with food and eating habits. She will listen very attentively to what you have to say and then suggest options. If you are ready for physical rejuvenation- Alana is the one!!
More than 1 year agoNiv K.Verified patient
Alana was very professional, yet warm and relatable. The visit did not feel clinical or sterile. She has a very non-judgemental approach to nutrition which I like. Alana was very informative about how small changes in eating could be beneficial towards my specific health goals and listened intently to what I wanted.
July 3, 2018Rebekah J.Verified patient
Alana is very kind and made me feel comfortable. She gave me practical information to help get me started on a better diet to loose weight and prevent health concerns.
June 12, 2018Heidi D.Verified patient
Alana was so welcoming and I immediately felt comfortable sharing my concerns, asking questions, and discussing my dietary needs. She was so knowledgeable, but presented information in a way that was relatable and not overwhelming. She gave me great recommendations and followed up with our meeting notes on the Healthie app right away. I am excited to meet with her again!
March 21, 2018Christina F.Verified patient
I went to Alana looking for guidance on how I could get closer to achieving personal goals, navigate the role food was playing in my life and also get a better understanding of nutrition generally. I left our sessions always feeling calm, relaxed and more in-tuned with myself. Alana's approach with me was holistic, in that it wasn't just about food, it was also about other stressors (internal or external) that would ultimately affect how my body received food, paired with breath and meditation. I left our final sessions with such a clear, focused and totally present sense of self. I also have a clearer understanding for the best way to nurture my body and how to feel good about those choices. I'll catch myself loosing that sense of 'presence' sometimes, and just work to tap back into it.
Since then, I've lost some weight, I've also switched to an 80% plant-based diet (supported by vitamins and minerals) and have a great handle on portions and snacking.
Alana is great; she's a wonderful, kind person, highly knowledgable and taps into who you are individually. No cookie-cutter suggestions.

Alana is a professional and knowledgeable nutritionist. She made me feel very comfortable and I look forward to my future sessions.
More than 1 year agoLK
Alana is a multi-talented practitioner and draws from thorough inquiry into numerous sources which makes her practice authentically integrated. She is a Registered Dietitian, and has also studied Ayuveda and Yoga and understands that well being, diet and our ability to diet are all interconnected and must be treated in an integrated way. For example, included in her treatment are yoga poses to compliment her dietary work.
She is patient, friendly, supportive, receptive, and i can tell from my own experience, that she offers a particular sense of personal care and understanding for each patient's individual needs.
