We’re Alana and Mike, a brother-and-sister coaching team and the people behind Side by Side Coaching Collective.

Originally from South Florida, we created Side by Side around a simple belief: sometimes people don’t need another person telling them what they should be doing, they need someone willing to sit beside them, listen without judgment, and help them figure out what comes next.

Together, we bring years of experience supporting people through relationships, emotional overwhelm, difficult life transitions, anger, communication struggles, personal growth, and those moments when life simply feels stuck.

Alana focuses on emotional support, trauma-informed coaching, relationships, self-worth, and helping people understand the patterns and emotions keeping them stuck. Mike brings his experience in anger management, life coaching, relationships, communication, and practical behavior change.

Our approaches may be different, but our goal is the same: real conversations, practical tools, and support that actually feels human.

No judgment. No pretending life is easy. No one-size-fits-all answers.

Just two real people helping other real people find their way forward.

You don’t have to go through it alone.
