About Alana
Meet Alana
Nutritionist | Special Diet Advocate | Guest Speaker |
Alana is a Brisbane-based nutritionist with over 20 years of experience adapting recipes for dietary needs and seven years of clinical nutrition experience.
Her passion for helping others is informed by both professional practice and personal experience. As a mother of three, Alana has navigated her own gut health challenges alongside her children's severe allergies, food intolerances, coeliac disease and digestive issues. This lived experience has given her firsthand insight into the realities of managing special diets and the daily challenges faced by individuals and families with complex dietary needs.
Alana holds a Postgraduate Certificate in Human Nutrition and a Bachelor of Arts (Business Administration), blending evidence-based nutrition knowledge with practical problem-solving skills. Food has always been part of her story, even if it took a few twists and turns to become her career.
Her work is beautifully practical, sustainable, and nourishing, her meals are focused on vegetables, fibre, macro balanced and prebiotic foods. She believes in pure nutrition to support long-term health and well-being. Alana is passionate about helping busy families and households build positive, lifelong relationships with food, with healthy nourishing meals.
When she’s not creating food for clients, you’ll probably find her tending her organic herb and vegetable patch, walking by the river, drinking tea on the beach, having a dance in the kitchen or eating dark chocolate.
Today, Alana combines clinical expertise with practical, real-world experience to create personalised meal solutions that help individuals and families eat well, feel well, and thrive.
