Existence is too magical to be uninspired.
Building a profitable business shouldn’t come at the expense of living with passion, purpose, or playfulness.
We help you reconnect with your essence to build a brand with your full self-expression and a business that makes you feel ALIVE.
If you are
- Feeling trapped, drained, or resentful towards the work
- Suppressing who you really are at your core
- Lost on the purpose behind what you do
We can help you
- Uncover your gifts and free your creative potential
- Create a brand with your full self-expression
- Build a business of passion, purpose, and (more) profit
There is a unique expression of the universe that can only come alive through you.

Hi, my name is Aleana.
The purpose of my work is to help you bring your full self to everything you create and reconnect you with what makes you feel alive.
I founded BRANDS ARE ALIVE after a crisis of meaning.
I had another “successful" business that was great on paper, yet I was still unexcited, unfulfilled and completely lost on its purpose.
You can read my story here.
If you don't love your brand and business, it's because it wasn't built on your (full) truth.
Until you bring your full self to everything you create, you will always feel unexcited and out of alignment, no matter how good it sounds on paper.
It's an inside out job.
Brand, Marketing & Business Strategies are not enough. And neither is coaching alone.
You need both the inner piece of Personal Transformation Guidance with the outer piece of Strategic Branding & Marketing to uncover who you really are and bring it to your brand, business, and everything you create.
It's an inside-out transformation, delivered through our 3-phase framework: THE ESSENCE AMPLIFIER
The Essence Amplifier
How It Works:
our 3-phase framework

Phase 1
Essence
|
We will work together to uncover who you are, and who you came here to become. You will gain a clear vision and remove what's holding you back from stepping into it.

Phase 2
Brand
|
We create a Brand that reflects your true essence, expressing your zone of genius, and carving out your category of one.

Phase 3
Marketing
|
We develop a Strategic Marketing Roadmap to grow your revenues. And you will enjoy the process because it will work with your nature, not against it.
“Your best work is your expression of yourself. When you do it, you are the only expert.” — Frank Gehry
