While she loved her career in fitness and wellness, being in her 30s without benefits made her rethink her career path. She had a vision of integrating Eastern and Western medicine to practice the best of both disciplines and pursued a degree in Nursing. Alana earned her BSN at CU College of Nursing and has been practicing as a Registered Nurse since 2014. She quickly learned that Western Medicine, while great at managing acute illness and traumatic injuries, is failing at managing chronic disease. She wanted to focus on prevention over pharmacology and balance over bandaids, which brought her back to Eastern Medicine and the pursuit of a Master’s degree in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

3 Pillars Holistic Health was born from her collective experience in healthcare and combines Acupuncture, Ayurveda (Herbal and Lifestyle medicine), and Nutrition Therapy into an integrative system that promotes health and wellness to clients of all ages. Alana practices Balance Method Acupuncture as taught by the late Dr. Richard Teh-Fu Tan and specializes in treating pain (chronic and acute), digestive issues, Women’s health, insomnia, and mental health issues including trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and chronic stress.
