Hi, I’m Lana!

Early in my corporate career, I had the joy of working with a more tenured colleague who, when asked how they were doing, would pause and wryly say: “Surviving.” The further I get in life, the more that response echoes when I’m asked that same question. I reflect often that it can be such a struggle to remember (and embody!) that there is so much more more to life than just surviving!

I believe a big part of finding more in life, in our careers, and in our connections with others comes from the way we care for ourselves. Not just the “starry-skies camp fire and whiskey” kind of self-care—though I love that too—but the kind that takes consistent commitment, grit. The kind that helps us handle life when it’s heavy. The kind that feels hard to do when you’re already so overwhelmed, but that ultimately makes you more resilient, more grounded, and more you.

My own health journey has been through trauma, profound loss, illness, heartbreak, career and financial stress, and more chaotic DIY projects than I’d like to admit. I’ve lived through many seasons that didn’t feel like mine, didn’t feel that I’d even make it through—and learned a lot along the way as I kept and keep reaching to know myself, my health, wellness, and strength in real-life, messy and imperfect ways. With this experience, I feel called to contribute in my local community and to pay forward the kind of support and knowledge that I wish I’d experienced and known sooner.

I believe that wellness is about coming home to your body, mind, your fullest self —learning to feel it, listen to it, trust it, and build it up—especially when life makes that feel daunting at best, hopeless or impossible at worst.

My coaching approach centers around:

• Listening - not lecturing

• Individualized process - not just programming

• Diversity in modalities - I draw from my background in a variety strength training styles, yoga, and outdoor recreation activities and am committed to lifelong learning and experimentation. I am currently a NASM Certified Personal Trainer and looking forward to expanding with additional certifications as I am able.

I hope to create a space where moving and caring for your body is not overwhelming; where your body is not a problem to fix, but something to support and celebrate; and where your goals can live alongside your full and meaningful life.

If that resonates with you, I’d be honored to walk beside you on your wellness journey! Please get in touch! I look forward to hearing from you.

Cheers!
