Who We Are
Alena started Rainbow Parakeet Wellness to realise her passion for natural healing and supporting others in living a happy, balanced life. With a background in science and engineering, she brings a practical, efficient and evidence-informed approach to healing. She believes the body has an incredible capacity to restore itself when we learn to listen to the cues it gives us.
Alongside her Ayurvedic training, Alena is continually developing her skills and knowledge, recently achieving qualifications in Remedial Massage and Sports Massage. This blend of traditional Ayurvedic wisdom and modern therapeutic techniques allows her to offer holistic, effective and personalised care.
Alena’s goal is to bring practical Ayurveda to the wider community so that this profound “Science of Life” can be accessible, enjoyable and transformative for all.
