About
I find meaning in the natural world, I’m moved by the human heart and am inspired by the mysterious beauty of being alive.
About Alanna
I have always been fascinated by the human experience, in particular how we relate to ourselves, others and life. From a very young age I could see worlds within people - untouched parts that rarely found way to the surface that longed for expression. I could see how rarely we expressed how we felt, said what we mean or asked for what we needed. I could see that we are as afraid of our joy, as we are our pain. Curious, I began to ask why? And so began a lifelong exploration into the study of art, spiritual practice, mysticism, embodiment and therapy that has me offering the work I now do.
I believe that our relationships are the most complex yet rewarding experiences of our lives and that when they feel connected, compassionate and courageous, so does our life. Everything is relationship and the moment we make this recognition, is the moment we recognise our belonging to everything.
Having lived and travelled all over the world, I now make home on a farm with my beloved and our two beautiful sons in luruwita (Tasmania, Australia).
My life and work in complete devotion, to the relational nature of living.

Just like the sun that rises and brims with possibility of everything,
I believe in the wondrous possibility that brims from learning how to hold ourselves with love.
About My Work
My work is supported by my studies and experience in yoga and meditation, emotionally focused therapy, attachment theory, kundalini tantra, somatic embodiment and poetry. Working with me involves healing deeply rooted beliefs, patterns and behaviours, most often established in childhood, that have caused a disconnect in your relationship with self, others and life. Exploring everything from nature to nurture, heartbreak to healing, mindfulness to mysticism, childhood to parenthood, sensuality to wonder, somatics to science and all the experiences that run through a human life: vulnerability, joy, grief, shame, courage, beauty, despair and awe.
Through Relationship Therapy, Emotional Embodiment Education and Poetry my work explores the relational nature of living. Whether it be relationship with your body, emotions, identity, spirit, others or the natural world I see all of life as relationship, all reflective of the relationship you’re having with yourself, all relevant and full of the wisdom you seek. The gift being, that by their very nature, relationships are constantly changing and constantly growing - inviting us to do the same.

I know that you experience moments of pain. Moments of overwhelm and isolation. Moments in which you don’t know your way forward and fear you do not belong. I know that you work so hard to control the outcome of your life, yet often find yourself caught in old worn-out ways of being.
I know that you long to live more deeply, intimately and tenderly than you currently know how, just as I know that deep within you there is a part that knows how. A part of you that loves the life you have been given. A part of you that loves who you are. A part of you that knows peace.
I know this because I have experienced the same feelings. I am familiar with the ache of disconnection, just as I am familiar with the exquisite beauty of knowing I am alive. I have come to understand that we are capable of overcoming anything our heart longs to, we just need to become willing to feel all that moves through us.

In Spiritual Living
I don’t believe in doing a spiritual practice as much as I believe in living a spiritual life. One’s spiritual practice is not measured by how long one can meditate or how deeply one can bend their body, but rather how honestly, openly and courageously one is living their life.
You Are Your Own Guru
I believe in empowering you to become your own teacher. You know what is best for you. You hold the answers to everything you seek. My role is simply to remind you of that.
In Feeling Safe
I am wholeheartedly committed to creating a safe space for you to explore all parts of yourself. Feeling safe is the foundation on which we build our relationship. Feeling safe is the foundation on which you build your life.
In Mother Nature
Being a mother who is devoted to the divine feminine that feeds and nourishes this world, my approach is tender, relational and intimate. I often find myself working with those who feel called to heal the feminine line from which they have come while exploring the feminine experiences they long to have. It is in the arms of The Mother, we all heal.
The Dark is Fertile
I am unafraid to travel into the dark places with you. In fact, I am moved most by what dwells in the dark and believe that one cannot fully liberate themselves without having traversed this landscape. Darkness is the mysterious and fertile ground from which you came and just like the light, is here to serve you.
We are all Children at Heart
As your guide, I will encourage a return to the sensual and playful nature within you so that you can reclaim your freedom and remember that while life may be vast and complex, it is also full of wonder and joy.

Science has found that what most commonly leads people to experience awe, is an experience of witnessing other people's courage, kindness, strength or overcoming. So when you witness that same courage, kindness, strength and overcoming in yourself and others, not only does your body experience a physiological change but so do your relationships.
Allowing ourselves to experience and overcome pain, is where resilience is born. It is where emotional intelligence grows. It is where compassion matures. It is where we remember that loving ourselves and each other through all if life’s expansions and contractions , is why we are all here.

Alanna has changed my life. First through her Kundalini yoga classes and then through her wise, oh so wise, and insightful spiritual guidance sessions. Everyone in this universe needs an Alanna to guide them on their journey but not everyone is lucky enough to have Alanna as their guide - I am so grateful and so fortunate - Suzi
Alanna’s ‘Into the Heart’ retreat was truly life changing. In a time of complete uncertainty in the world, she was able to create a space for people to come together, be open and feel safe. Through different practices such as yoga, meditation and conversation, I was able to allow myself to feel in a completely authentic way that I had never been able to before. I left the retreat feeling like an entire lifetime of weight had been lifted off my shoulders and as though I had come home to my body (don’t be fooled by how romantic that sounds, it looks a lot like endless tears for days afterwards in my case). I am so grateful to Alanna for her wisdom and for the choice she makes every day to share that with others - Indiah
Choosing to have spiritual guidance sessions with Alanna is one of the best decisions I’ve made for my own journey. After making progress on my own but unsure of what was next, these could not have been made available to me at a better time - I don’t believe in coincidence! Alanna has a wonderful way of sharing her wisdom and knowledge in a way that feels personalised to your needs. There is no judgement, only genuine support and faith. Through these sessions I am becoming more comfortable in knowing who I am, what my Soul truly wants and how I can live my life with purpose - Christina
A year ago I started working 1 to 1 with Alanna. From the first time I met Alanna after taking one of her yoga classes, I felt instantly safe, accepted and inspired. Since working with her 1 to 1, these feelings have only grown, and I am deeply grateful for having the opportunity to work closely with her. Alanna creates a space in our 1 to 1 sessions for me to explore myself - my thoughts and emotions but most of all, my heart. She does not direct my exploration but rather walks alongside me, encouraging me to fully embrace each part of the journey. I have learnt from Alanna and our sessions that there is no one “right” way of being or practicing spirituality, nor is there a distinct start or finish to spiritual practice - the journey is life-long. Alanna has taught me that “imperfections" are by nature perfect and that listening with compassion to our hearts and coming home to our own self is truly validating. I'm growing with each session to experience the sense of liberation that comes with stepping into my own power and am learning to have faith in and trust this process. Thank you, Alanna for all that you do - Jess B
Alanna came into my life when I needed to learn to slow down - I was coming out of a very busy, almost manic period of my life and I was exhausting myself. Alanna’s powerful intuition, calming wisdom and kindness helped me identify why I felt the way I did, helped me acknowledge it, find ways to slow down, and most importantly, to be ok with it. Spending time with Alanna one on one gave me space I couldn’t give myself and ultimately gave me the power of acceptance.Through Alanna’s guidance I am learning who I am and how to embrace the adventure of life, in all stages. I am forever grateful - Emily
I have been practicing and working 1:1 with Alanna for close to a year now, as she has been guiding me through an awakening process. From the outset I felt so comfortable with Alanna, which meant I could be vulnerable and speak my truth without judgement. She is a beautiful soul who has guided me through a beautiful but challenging time in my life. Without her spiritual guidance I would not be where I am today. She used her extensive spiritual knowledge and experience, intuition and kind nature to help ground me through the process, understand what my blocks were and give me the tools I needed to grow spiritually. I leave each session feeling lighter, more connected to my soul and equipped for the next chapter of my path. She is truly an angel and I cannot recommend her highly enough - Jess N
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, the teachings and your beautiful wisdom with me. I am forever grateful for the answer to my curiosity - teaching me how to breathe, something I thought I had forgotten. I always knew I was searching for something deeper - so thank you for guiding me there. Kundalini Yoga & Meditation has given me an unbelievable amount of focus, energy and efficiency throughout the day. Every single morning I wake with excitement to cultivate how I want to feel for the day, how I want to move my energy, how I want to live my life. Your classes and teachings have given me the freedom and power to truly sink into my authentic self. Thank you over and over again - Laura
I was referred to Alanna by a friend regarding Kundalini Yoga. I was feeling some sensations in my body and did not know whom to share or ask the right questions to get proper guidance. I booked a 1:1 session and did benefit a lot from it. Alanna then introduced me to to some amazing practices which I could incorporate in my daily life easily and play around with some other options as suggested. It helped me align my mind, body and spirit and also helped me understand my body on a deeper level. Alanna is very wise and intuitive and the ways she has re-introduced me to Yoga has been really helpful to me. I haven’t been/seen any other Kundalini Yoga teacher in Hobart as I did not feel the need after meeting Alanna. Her practises are very easy, effective and can be used daily as required. I love working with her and am lucky to know her through her beautiful work. I would highly recommend to book her sessions if there is a need to understand the chakras or receive guidance on your spiritual journey - Varnika
