Hi, I’m Alana Inwood.
In a past life, I was addicted to stress. That chapter of my life has become my greatest teacher.
It all started when a Naturopath mentioned that I wasn’t breathing “correctly”. That simple comment sparked what has now become my deepest passion.
At the time, I was a Marketing Manager for one of the world’s leading brands. On the outside, I was thriving; juggling big responsibilities, meeting crazy deadlines, and pushing through long days. But on the inside, I was falling apart. My days were filled with performance anxiety, and my nights were broken by panic attacks in my sleep. I only wish I had known then what I know now: how to regulate my nervous system through the breath.
Most of us were never truly taught how to breathe. My hope is that engaging with Breathscape becomes your first step in resetting your nervous system and calming your mind; supporting your health and transforming your world. Here’s to breathing better, living calmer, and feeling more in control, one breath at a time.
My Approach
I’m a strong believer that the book ends of our days shape our internal health (for better or worse). In our Consult we take a deep dive into your lifestyle and then how we can best integrate minor adjustments for you to be a better and healthier version of you. You’ll take home integrative tools (including a progress tracking and audio recordings) to change breathing habits while discovering a new you.
inhale.
You’ll learn a whole new world around how your body works, you’ll be left wondering how you’ve gone all these years not understanding basic fundamentals of giving the body fuel it can naturally attune to help you literally feel more alive, less anxious, more alert and more calm.
exhale.
We’ll then retrain your body to breath more functionally, think of teaching an old dog new tricks. We literally reset the breathing centre of the brain that controls our breathing and take it back to the innate, natural, controlled breath that allows the gases in the body to work in harmony and the nervous system to relax.
My inspiration
My biggest inspiration in the breathing world is Patrick McKeown founder of Oxygen Advantage and CEO of Buteyko Clinic International. I had the privilege of training with Patrick in person twice, as a result, I am a Buteyko Practitioner and also a qualified Oxygen Advantage Master Instructor.
