Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - Allana, how do you get such divine skin?

Seriously? I felt this wave of embarrassment wash over me when you asked that. Back when I was in dance class in my teens, I had horrible acne on my shoulder and all the acne drugs didn’t work. My Dad was a pharmacist and got me on this simple Sulfa drug and for some reason, it cleaned it all up by graduation, Thank God! Yet I remember not being able to wear a T-shirt in ballet class and KNOWING the girl behind me was grossed out. So humiliating.

Then in my 20’s and early 30’s I had pretty glorious skin and felt I was home free. Then when I got pregnant, all the hormones sent my skin to hell and again, as I was teaching Pilates in huge classes of amazing women and college girls, my acne was all over my shoulders again and this time with the pregnancy, I couldn’t take anything. It was so healing to stand heart open, vulnerable in my expanding belly, boobs, and acne. Practicing loving ALL of me, even my skin.

I was sure after I gave birth it would all go away, yet it didn’t and I have had to have facials for years (I’m 47) to keep things at bay. However, recently (like over the past year) I took out the Louise Hay book I use with ALL my clients yet hadn’t thought to use with ME… And looked up acne. Anger. Suppressed Anger. Well, if you’ve read about my journey, you know about the custody challenges I’ve had and my skin seemed to be where my anger was leaking out. So I chose to release my anger in healthy ways at dance class, with counselors, therapists, and my skin improved.

I stopped processed sugars as well. I would wash my face, by candle light, until I could stop focusing only on the zits. Instead of making my skin wrong when looking in the mirror, I would focus on the beauty of my eyes. Or if I saw a zit I would put a little salicylic acid or tea tree oil on it and ask my skin to please clear it up by morning, and it would.

Now I use Epicurean Organics products most of the time. And I am totally floored that you think I have great skin. Divine I think you even said. Wow. You have inspired me to love my skin even more, to thank it for its youthfulness, its radiance, its clarity and even those glorious smile lines that reveal my journey of ordinary bliss.

Thank you for deepening my communion with my beautiful sweet body. And may your communion with your glorious body, deepen as well.

Deliciously,

Allana

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - Stuck In The Middle

Question: I don’t want to be in the middle of this! My boyfriend’s mother is sick and he wants to move back home to be closer to her. His mother HATES me and he wants me to go with him. The doctor’s are saying the outlook is not positive and I want him to be there for his mother but I don’t think I am a big enough person to put our issues aside to endure her. Am I horrible? Answer: Yes, you are a horrible horrible person and you’re going to hell. KIDDING!!!!!! You are magnificent and courageous and willing to tell the truth… and I find that inspiring I think it’s very important for people to be given the option to spend time with their parents as they die because sometimes people die suddenly and you never get a chance to say something; yet, your boyfriend will be able to feel good about the time, effort, and presence he gives her. And it’s also very important for you not to stop living or choose something that’s not a contribution for you and sacrifice yourself for another only t...

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - Boyfriend Was Rude To Disabled Brother

Q: For about a year, I have been dating (what I thought) was a wonderful man.  I am very protective of my disabled brother so I am hesitant to introduce men in my life to him.  This guy was different so I wanted him to understand that if he was going to be a part of my life, he was going to be a part of my brother’s as well. The way he acted towards him was atrocious! He ignored him and if my brother made contact, he jumped as if my brother’s disability would rub off on him!  I thought he was the one but now I am not sure.  Thoughts? A: I’m so sorry love.  This experience must trouble your heart in two ways – how he treated your brother and disappointment for believing he was the one.  While I do not condone his behavior, I must say that people have a tendency to act unpredictable and/or unkind when they are around people who are different from them.  Through education and practice, people can change.  Would you be open to communicating with yo...
