About Alana

Alana has her home-based holistic natural health business in Maple Grove, MN where she also homeschools her four teenage children and pretends to be a homesteader in her spare time (think fresh-laid eggs, an obnoxiously large garden, tapping maple trees in the spring, making wine and applesauce in the fall, and various animals always causing some kind of ruckus).  Alana's not-so-guilty pleasures include deep conversation, sunshine, live music, nature, and chasing adventure.  She is an inquisitive problem solver by nature, who loves learning and trying new things.  She is determined to become who God created her to be, and help others do the same.
