Alana began music training in piano at age three and has over twenty years experience as a harpist. She has studied with leading pioneers in the field of music and consciousness, psychoacoustics and brain physiology, evolving her own work through hands-on independent research and work with different patient populations such as the dying, ill, mentally retarded and handicapped. Specially selected music is used in all her work, including Aromatherapy and music, on a Somatron™ acoustic table.
She traveled for 12 years teaching about the affects of sound and music on the body, brain and consciousness. As a respected lecturer, and teacher she has been invited to speak at hospitals, colleges and conferences as well as private groups in the US and Europe.
Her intuitive connection with the sacred powers of music and sounds of nature, combined with her expertise in utilizing "prescriptive sound" through many modalities in private practice with clients, gives her the ability to be a valuable resource to therapists and others involved in personal growth.
Other areas Alana has worked in include 20 years as a professional artist, 12 years as an ordained Unity Minister, a Certified Music Practitioner and a Certified Clinical Aromatherapist. She has produced a series of multimedia materials that are a synthesis of sight and sound, documenting her work in the field of "music medicine", as a health care practitioner.

Staff Notes
Within seconds of listening to the gentle harp melodies of Alana Woods, I felt myself starting to slow down, breathe deeper, and become more relaxed. Few instruments are more emotionally evocative than the harp, and in her gifted hands it is an instrument that touches the heart and soul. With her background in the healing arts and the therapeutic application of sound, Alana creates music that is often Zen-like in it's simplicity, yet is both elegant and profound in it's effect. ~ Michael Diamond, SongPeddler Music Reviewer
Music without words means leaving behind the mind. And leaving behind the mind is meditation.
Meditation returns you to the source. And the source of all is sound. — Kabir
