Alanna Martella

Alanna is a multi-Emmy winning morning news personality at WLWT-TV (Channel 5) here in Cincinnati, Ohio—which just so happens to be her hometown! She’s also a keynote speaker and a certified yoga instructor. 

She takes pride in the body-mind connection and knows there is something bigger in the universe than all of us. She wants to share with the world the difference between “not dying” and “truly living”, and the importance of living life to the fullest — concepts in which she knows firsthand, for she actually died during a medical emergency. It was in her moment of death and the long recovery that followed in which her lens on life shifted, lifting the blinders of a sheltered, repetitive life, and opening her perspective to a life of endless possibility and joy. Add in a 200-hour yoga teacher training, and her life was changed even more tremendously, learning to value fulfillment over money, and joy and love over hatred and angst.
