Alana Joy is a practicing psychotherapist and a former registered nurse with over 20

years experience working in healthcare. Listening to the guidance of her body, she left

her government position and embraced entrepreneurship to fulfill her soul's purpose.

Since childhood, Alana Joy experienced many unusual and poorly understood injuries

and symptoms and she accumulated multiple diagnostic labels. Her experience of her

body was often disbelieved and she learned to distrust it and become disconnected

from it.

In her 30’s, Alana Joy was diagnosed with a rare genetic degenerative condition

of the connection tissue. Her diagnosis followed by her father’s death confronted her

with her mortality and catalyzed her spiritual awakening.

A disorder of connection- she

HAD to reconnect.

The layers of conditioned patterns, behaviours and identities

collapsed and she reconnected with her core essence, uncovering her soul's purpose.

In her work, Alana Joy brings together her knowledge and experience as a nurse,

psychotherapist and her own awakening, weaving science and spirituality for deep

physical, emotional and spiritual healing.

Her mission is to guide others through the

process of reconnecting with their heart, body and soul for a more purposeful and joyful life.

Born in 2006 in Homs, Syria, Anas Mohamad’s first few years alive were as normal as any other child around the world. However, around 2010, his life would take a dramatic turn as the Syrian Civil War began to take form. His family, left with no option but to relocate due to dangerous conditions in their home city, would make the move to the coastal city of Tartus. Fortunately, in 2015, Anas, his mother, and his sister, would all make the life-changing move of immigrating to Canada. Although the first few years in a new country would bring its fair share of challenges, Anas and his family would eventually begin to thrive. Upon his arrival in highschool, Anas would prove himself to be a capable and talented student-athlete. He would go on to graduate as the Valedictorian of the 2024 graduating class. Anas will continue his studies at the College of Engineering at the U of S, and hopes to continue to thrive in both the academic and athletic spaces.

Being present... what does it mean to you?

Is it simply physically being there? That's what I used to think when I felt disconnected and out of touch with my body.

However, once I learned to let go of the burdens and live in alignment with my true, authentic self, I finally understood what being present truly means.
