Alana Burton,
Somatic Reawakenings

Alana’s healing journey is a testament to the body’s resilience and capacity for transformation. Born with spina bifida and spondylolisthesis, she began experiencing back and sciatic pain at 12, leading to spinal fusion surgery at 16.

Despite the procedure—and compounded by other life experiences such as accidents and repetitive movements—chronic pain persisted, manifesting as headaches, neck, shoulder, back, hip, and sciatic discomfort. Unbeknownst to her, her brain had developed compensatory movement patterns to adapt to both structural changes and habitual movement, inadvertently reinforcing tension and dysfunction.

Alana’s turning point came when she discovered yoga therapy, which initiated profound relief and restored mobility. This experience sparked a passion for understanding movement and healing, ultimately leading her to Clinical Somatic Education—the missing link in deep, lasting recovery. Now, Alana is dedicated to helping others unravel habitual tension patterns and rediscover ease in their bodies through one-on-one and group care. Find out more about her here: Somatic Reawakenings.
