Dr. Alane Lucht

Dr Alane (pronounced Ah-lah-nah) holds the belief that we are more than just parts and symptoms. While practicing with her mentor for nearly five years she learned to look more extensively at the human body as an entire system that works in concert. Dr Alane uses Applied Kinesiology (AK) to find the root cause of dysfunction. Through a variety of techniques, she will help to remove the blocks that may be creating symptoms and dis-ease.

Dr Alane has held a deep interest in health and healing since the age of 11. She began exploring the alternative sciences after having found a book titled "The Complete Encyclopedia of Psychic Sciences" in a box belonging to her Father. This began a lifelong exploration into the question of why do humans experience and do what they do.

 

In 1990 she began taking classes at The Minneapolis School of Massage and Bodywork where she completed over 600 hours of training. As she continued to practice massage she took classes with the Upledger Institute in such bodywork techniques as Cranio-Sacral Therapy and Lymphatic Drainage. Having been practicing Yoga since the late 1980's she decided to become a Yoga Instructor.  After spending over a month in an ashram she completed the 200 hour course offered by the Sivananda Vedanta training in 1994 and taught Yoga continuously for nearly 25 years. She still maintains a regular home practice of both Yoga and meditation.

 

After receiving her Bachelor of Science degree in Human Biology she went on to study the healing art of chiropractic at Northwestern College of Chiropractic (now called Northwestern Health Sciences University). She graduated with a Doctorate in Chiropractic in 2001 and began a private practice. In 2002 she obtained her 100 hour certificate to perform Acupuncture.

 

With lifelong exploration of the mind-body connection and an emphasis on the emotional component of physical issues, Dr Alane has incorporated a variety of techniques into her practice such as Neuro-Emotional Technique (NET) and Somatic Experiencing (SE), which addresses how trauma can get 'stuck' in the body. In 2018 she completed the two year training in the Neuro Affective Relational Model (NARM) which deals specifically with developmental and complex psychological trauma. She continues to participate in NARM Master’s and Post-Master’s level trainings and monthly webinars.

 

Not one to sit around Dr Alane decided to pursue a long passion and curiosity of human psychology. She began her graduate studies in 2016 in the field of Clinical Counseling and Psychological Services adding the dual degree in Addictions Studies at St. Mary's University of Minnesota where she graduated in January of 2020. Vowing not to go back to school did not last long, because in June of 2020 she began pursuing her PhD in Psychology with an intended dissertation research project combining an understanding of psychological trauma and complementary and alternative/integrative healthcare. In addition to a small private practice, Dr Alane teaches several courses at her alma mater, Northwestern Health Sciences University in the College of Health and Wellness.
