a moment of pause.
our philosophy
The word “allora” is rooted in the Italian language and is widely used in many different ways. As a transition word, “allora” provides the speaker with time and space to connect two thoughts or ideas- providing a moment of pause, a moment of intention.
Giving true meaning to the word, ALLORA Health + Wellness was founded in 2020 as a virtual community with the philosophy and mission to support individuals during life’s challenges and transitions. This vision has now manifested into a home for many on their growth and healing journey. Creating sacred spaces for
stillness and silence,
movement and sound,
reflection and growth,
healing and expansion,
protection and safety,
pause and intention.
ALLORA has cultivated connection and community through partnerships and collaborations throughout the city of Pittsburgh, PA and continues to grow. With group classes, private 1:1 sessions, community events and workshops- all healing experiences utilize and are built off of the four pillars of the ALLORA Method: movement, meditation, breath work, and sound.
With a holistic approach to healing, ALLORA now offers Birth Work + Doula services. Going back to the womb, back to the sacred, ALLORA is honored to support our creators on their perinatal journey and empower them during the most sacred and profound life transition of all.
a moment of intention.
our founder
AMANDA CHIRUMBOLO MILLER (she/her)
B.A., MSEd., RYT, Certified Doula (CHB) Certified Sound Healer
Amanda Chirumbolo Miller is the founder of ALLORA Health and Wellness. With a B.A in Marketing Communications and Journalism and a M.S in Education, Amanda has always been in search of Truth and fiercely passionate about education and equality. Throughout her formal education and career, Amanda began to recognize her own personal need for healing, causing her to reach for holistic and spiritual wellness practices such as yoga, meditation, astrology, tarot and talk therapy.
With professional roles supporting international education programs, nonprofit organizations, healthcare, and marketing agencies, she decided to leave the traditional nine-to-five lifestyle and to become a corporate flight attendant while working toward her holistic wellness certifications. Amanda’s love of travel blossomed into a love affair with culture. She now believes that travel is a critical tool in education, expansion, and empathy for other cultures, people, and lifestyles. With empathy, expansion and education at the core of Amanda’s values, she instills those principles into the soul of ALLORA Health and Wellness.
Today, Amanda is a registered yoga teacher, meditation and breath work facilitator, certified sound healer, birth worker and doula.
A NOTE FROM AMANDA
As far back as I can remember, my calling has always been to serve others through education, humanitarianism and wellness in unconventional and untraditional ways. Over the past three years, I have been aligning myself with purpose, stepping into and cultivating my intangible healing abilities, and bridging the gap in wellness modalities from Eastern and Western cultures. With movement, meditation, breath work and sound all being crucial aspects of my own healing journey- I am passionate about sharing these tools with as many people as possible. Over the past year, I have been supporting creators and pregnant bodies with yoga, mediation and sound healing. As a birth worker and doula, my vision is to open a healing center that specializes in birth work and family support while offering educational workshops, free programming, and wellness classes to support the entire life cycle.

Amanda
