Our Founder
Alannah Dore
Founder, Alannah Dore established the Holistic Living Training Institute in 1999 with the aim to share the unique combination of carefully selected resources she had either gathered, adapted or developed herself. These are the practices she used to overcome her own adversity.
Many years before establishing the Institute Alannah found her own mental and physical health crumbling, so she went on a desperate search for answers. She discovered what she was looking for in naturopathy, the humanistic psychology movement and eastern philosophies. Through her own experiences using these practices, Alannah discovered how emotional wellbeing in particular can positively impact every part of our life.
Alannah’s professional experience spans 10 years of early childhood teaching followed by 20 years working as a counsellor, family therapist and personal growth group facilitator. Her education involves both eastern and western perspectives of personal growth including; a Diploma in Holistic Healing, Developmental Psychiatry, personal research and extensive Himalayan Yoga and Meditation training in India in addition to ongoing personal research.
Alannah has also been a recipient of an ‘Association of Graduates in Early Childhood Studies’ Leadership for Change grant and completed an Early Childhood Masters and other postgraduate studies. Today she is a university lecturer and researcher as she continues to run the Holistic Living Training Institute. Her personal life is lived with presence, passion and daily practices choosing to be an energy of positivity and emotional honesty in all interactions with others, human and non-human.
