Hello and Blessings My name is Alana. I’ve been a licensed practicing massage therapist since 2005. I have a respectful appreciation for the healing arts as both a practitioner and recipient. My focus has been Deep Tissue and treatment work the majority of my career. I take an observational and intuitive approach to my clients treatment sessions, and am excited to be integrating the fascinating and rewarding modalities offered here at Cohesive Therapy. It’s been a pleasure taking part in and seeing the beneficial changes that the healing arts therapies can provide for those who utilize them. I believe we are our own healers and see myself as someone who gets to be one of your helpers along the way. I applaud you for choosing and prioritizing your wellbeing and am honored to be someone who assists you by applying the modalities offered here at Cohesive Therapy. I look forward to witnessing the positive transformations you will experience as we meet you where you are on your healing journey. A few personal details about me; I love nature, hiking, being creative in the kitchen, talking to and learning about people, and snuggs with my fur babies. I also love being pampered and receiving gifts Some favorite quotes: “I am another you.
