Alana Hawke | Gentle Awakenings
Hi, I'm Alana. Most of us experience a moment in our lives where we stop and take stock of where we are and, more essentially, who we are. This may come as a result of a big shock, the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a job or some other trauma that shakes us to our very core. Or it may just be a gnawing sense that there is something more to life than what you are currently experiencing.
