Meet Alana
Hi all! My name is Alana - I'm a wife, mom, and believer.
6 years ago, at the age of 22, I was working my first job as a registered nurse. I had worked so hard to get my degree, but once I started working in my field, I was so unhappy. I started asking God for direction and to help me find my purpose.
​
I battled for a long time on whether or not nursing was for me. I felt like I would be disobeying God if I were to leave, but working as nurse left me with so much dread and anxiety. I didn't know what to do.
​
So, I stayed. I stayed until I had the peace of moving on.
I discovered something that I enjoyed doing. I began to uncover my gifts, talents, and skills that God had gifted me with.
​
Here I am at 29 - I no longer work as a registered nurse, and I am 100% at peace with the decision I've made to leave the profession.
I wanted a place where I could share what I love to do while also helping other people. I desire to see people taking care of themselves so that they can be at their best, and that's why I created Your Self Care Shop. My goal is to help others realize the importance of self-care. We can only effectively take care of others when we first take care of ourselves.
