Welcome!

I'm Amanda Hurford, founder of ALA. I am passionate about witnessing health transformation in my clients. I empower clients to reach their health goals in a way that fits their lifestyle and personal needs. A one-size-fits-all approach does not always work for our health, and I personalize every process. My mission is to see my clients succeed and feel empowered to take control of their health. ​ I provide a wide range of natural and holistic health approaches that are otherwise unavailable in mainstream healthcare settings.

My Background

Since I was in the third grade, I have been studying, contemplating, seeking out, and experimenting with human health and dis-ease. I received my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in nutrition and dietetics from the University of New Mexico in 2011 and 2016. I studied nutrition because diet and lifestyle contribute to human health and well-being- we are what we eat!

My Business Philosophy

ALA is about witnessing results and growth when my clients dedicate themselves to a healthy lifestyle and treatments. 

I gain insight and improve my methods with every person I assist on their health journey. I approach every encounter with honesty and encouragement, setting realistic and individual goals for every client. Sometimes the barrier to success is our own self-limiting beliefs, and I work to help people overcome these beliefs and stay accountable to their goals. I foster a warm, helpful environment to motivate and inspire health and healing. The variety of services I offer is individualized for maximum benefit.

    Nutrition

    Nutrition

    At ALA, we believe that food is medicine. Good nutrition is absolutely essential for health and vitality, but it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution. We help identify what the right diet is for you – and hold you accountable to implementation.

    Detoxification

    Detoxification

    We live in a very toxic world. Supplements, homeopathic remedies and herbs can be very useful in supporting your body’s natural detoxification processes. We help tailor an effective supplementation regimen for each of our clients, according to their needs.

  • woman with hands grasping an intestinal outline over her shirt - gut health concept
    Gut Health 

    Gut Health 

    Gut health issues greatly hinder the body’s ability to fully detoxify and heal from pain and other chronic conditions. We help identify where dysfunction is occurring, its root causes, and how we can support the tissues and organs to reach optimal function. 

  • man and woman jogging outside
    Physical Activity

    Physical Activity

    Movement is essential for joint lubrication, circulation, and detoxification – as well as overall mental wellbeing. We highly emphasize consistent physical activity and encourage daily exercise as part of any functional wellness program.

    Mentoring

    Mentoring

    Our approach focuses on identifying root causes rather than chasing symptoms. We provide direction, accountability, support, education and celebration throughout the duration of your care and beyond. A must-have to facilitate healing!
