Hi, I’m Alana Kessler, MS, RDN
A registered dietician, clinical nutritionist, and expert yoga & mindfulness teacher with 20 years of experience.
I specialize in taking an individualized, intuition-based approach, backed by science, to help you overcome food anxiety and emotional eating as a coping mechanism and reclaim your joy living, your self worth, and sustainably lose unwanted weight without dieting.
My work draws on my personal experience healing myself from emotional eating as a coping mechanism, disordered eating behaviors and poor self esteem, as well as my expertise and many years of experience working and applying the methods of Eastern and Western nutrition, Functional Medicine, Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, Mindfulness, Interpersonal Psycho-Spiritual Healing and life coaching modalities.
Don’t worry, it’s not as complicated, or ‘woo’ as it may sound. Simply put, I look at you as a unique person who deserves unique care.
Your journey is unique. I’ll help you uncover and heal your blindspots to truly transform your life.

“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!”
