ALANNA BERGERON ON HER WELLNESS JOURNEY, SELF-CARE ROUTINE, AND FINDING PEACE
In honour of World Mental Health Day, we're sharing the mic with Holistic Health Coach, Alanna Bergeron. From her approach to wellness, living a well-intentioned life, and helping women bridge the gap between personal health and their unique goals, Alanna shares the power of small purposeful, daily action steps to paint a larger sustainable picture long-term.
How did you get started in the health & wellness industry and specifically holistic nutrition?
"I've always had an interest in health + wellness. Fitness has always been a very important component of my lifestyle and nutrition goes with that so naturally I've always had an interest in nutrition. I was in a car accident a few years back, my entire life completely derailed. Through my own healing journey, I decided it was time for me to go back to school and study nutrition which ultimately led me to become a health coach.
Nutrition has such a huge impact on how we feel. Learning how different foods affect the mind and body has truly shifted the way I eat today. Healthy lifestyle choices paired with nutrition that works for your body and mind is key to whole-person health."
How do you personally define wellness and how has this idea evolved over time?
"I used to think wellness was the latest wellness hack or trend. Now, I look at wellness through a self-care lens. I believe in total health — more than just nutrition and exercise. Health encompasses many different areas of our lives. I believe self-care is as vital as good nutrition and movement. I believe in balance and in creating sustainable habits."

What does your wellness routine look like today?
"I start my mornings by getting outside first thing, getting some sunlight on my face, and moving my body at the same time. I walk for about 30 minutes. Then I come home and make breakfast, take my vitamins. I work out in the afternoons: strength training 4x per week, Pilates 1x per week. I love a warm bath or shower at night and an herbal tea and/or magnesium drink."
