Hey! I'm Alina
...and my mess is my message
I don’t pretend to have all the answers. I certainly don’t consider myself “fixed”. I am just a fellow human being trying to feel my best and do my best in an increasingly fast paced culture that seeks to keep us hustling, addicted and distracted from our own wants and desires.
My inflection point came in my early 40’s when my physical and mental health started unraveling and I had to admit that the way I was living was unsustainable. On the outside, my life appeared normal, maybe even great. But the truth was, I was running on empty, overrun with low self worth, and riddled with a constant buzz of anxiety engulfing my nervous system. Even though I was utterly drained, my baseline seemed to be set at the toxic paradox of wired and tired.
What I can see clearly now is that a harmful combination of issues primed me for burnout. I was harboring a subconscious case of impostor syndrome and I had no concept of boundaries in an industry that certainly required them, so I worked at a punishing pace. And both inside and outside of work I was an out of control people pleaser, chronically abandoning myself and my own needs. My ability to hustle through pain landed me in a reality that was severely at odds with my authentic self.
Answer the call from within. If I can do it so can you!
Burnout forced me to slow down and start the difficult work of telling myself the truth. In the years since, I have worked to confront my addiction to alcohol, recognize limiting beliefs, and address and heal a nervous system that was begging me to emotionally regulate in a different way. I substituted my tendency towards busyness for stillness. And my reward for all this hard work is a life that honors my wants and needs and allows me to show up as my authentic self.
​
I want to empower you to believe you CAN feel the scary emotions and you won’t live in that feeling forever, in fact, you will heal from it. You absolutely CAN shatter a tightly held identity and what will remain is your most authentic self. You CAN bravely admit and overcome your addiction and experience pure bliss and joy from pleasure that is true. I promise, you CAN push through the pain into the unknown and come out the other side living a life of freedom and abundance.
My life's purpose is to support and bear witness to individuals being the hero in their own story, taking off their own chains, and discovering their innate wants and needs for a truly fulfilling life. My hope is to be a beacon of hope and resilience, a fellow warrior on the path of life.

Living the truest, most authentic version of your life happens by considering all the aspects that impact a person's life. A balanced approach that examines the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual levels.
Mindset Work
Our mindset, the constant narration in our head, translates the external world into the reality we experience. Change your thoughts and you change your life.
Somatic Experiencing

Subconscious Programming
We are all on autopilot, running on outdated programs that need to be updated. 95% of our behavior comes from subconscious programming. And this is where the limiting beliefs and blocks, the root cause of maladaptive patterns and self-sabotaging behavior, are held.
