✨MEET YOUR HOST ✨
Hey, I'm Alena, a Somatic Therapist, Educator, and Hapkido Black Belt. My mission is to support women — especially those in service or helping professions — finally shift from recurring cycles of hustle and overwhelm to a space of clarity, presence, and peace.
On this podcast, we have honest conversations about true healing and inner freedom.
We specifically dig into navigating that challenging space I call "grey area mental health"—when you're not fully well, but maybe not "sick enough" for conventional support..
My signature program, The LionLife Method, is all about accessing body-based (somatic) tools to help you reconnect inside and out, recalibrate your nervous system and reclaim your energy, for good.
