I have a wide experience of treatments, everything from pediatrics to cancer. I am willing to work with anyone who is willing to give Traditional Chinese Medicine a chance.

I am a Registered Dietitian specializing in eating disorders/disordered eating for over 10 years. My goal is to help women heal their relationship with food while nourishing their bodies. I help to educate and empower women through their recovery with disordered eating and negative body image.

I am committed to working with you to help you achieve optimal health and overall well-being through a variety of holistic and natural approaches. You will receive a personal one-on-one comprehensive history and examination, so that I may determine the cause of your symptom(s). I can then utilize chiropractic, acupuncture, applied kinesiology, nutrition, and other therapies to help correct the problem and not just put a “band-aid” on your symptom(s). I have a wide field of interests from children to athletes to women’s health issues and/or anyone looking to improve their health naturally.

Clients are often tired of rigid food rules and constant dieting. It can be overwhelming to be expected to change the way you eat overnight. Many times, your doctor gives limited information about what to eat and does not always have the time to go into detail about what the means for your day-to-day life.

Telehealth Sessions Only. Are fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, skin issues, and/or digestive challenges interfering with your life? Do you know you're tolerating food like you used to, but don't know what to do about it? Are you struggling to get variety in your diet? Do you have weird clusters of symptoms that no one seems to understand or believe or real?

I provide evidence-based nutrition counseling and education in my practice. My goal is to prevent and reduce the risk of chronic diseases related to dietary lifestyle choices using a personalized approach that works for you. As a licensed registered dietitian, I have completed an accredited supervised practice and passed a national exam making me an expert in the field of nutrition and dietetics. My continued education in the field of nutrition allows me to maintain my registration.

I work with individuals suffering from multiple forms of health breakdown caused by a misalignment of the bone at the top of the neck that supports the entire weight of the head. The top bone in the neck, known as the atlas vertebra, can misalign from an accident or injury putting stress on vital body balance centers. This compromise can result in numerous health challenges such as headaches, migraines, tinnitus, insomnia, depression, anxiety, nervousness, digestive issues, trigeminal neuralgia, vertigo, high blood pressure, heart irregularities, fibromyalgia, herniated and bulging discs, neck and back pain, and many others.

I provide quality, individualized natural medicine for the entire family. I particularly enjoy working with women, children and families. My patients appreciate my unique approach to their illness. I take time to get to know you as a whole person in order to address the root cause of your problem. I then use natural medicines to trigger the body's innate ability to heal itself and correct the imbalance. I use a combination of custom herbal formulations, diet, stress modification, exercise, acupuncture and specific supplementation. With these tools, I create a Personalized Wellness Plan at each visit that will work into your unique life.

I SOLVE ATHLETE PROBLEMS. I work with athletes of every age and ability, helping them improve performance through sport-specific nutrition. Doing an Ironman? Making weight for an MMA fight? Need that DI scholarship? Have cramping issues, GI problems, hate your body, just tore your ACL or are paralyzed by all the conflicting diet ads? Do you run out of energy during workouts? Are you a masters athlete with medical issues and multiple meds? Maybe you're a parent and your kid wants to make the varsity team by using a sketchy supplement. Or you're a coach and just don't know what to say when your athletes get dehydrated. I CAN HELP!

Your doctor may have recently told you about a new diagnosis or lab result that requires you to change the way you eat. Clients are often overwhelmed by the amount of misleading nutrition information on the internet and it can be a challenge to manage a chronic illness when you don't know where to start.

As a Clinical Nutritionist, I believe in client education and understanding the complex interrelationship between nutrition, biochemical functions, lifestyle, and environment to target disorders and promote whole-body function-such as sugar metabolism, GI health, Brain/mental health, Hormone functions, Immune system, and more. Use of a wide range of tools, including individualized lab tests, assessment, and identifying potential nutritional and lifestyle imbalances, and recognizing how these may contribute to one’s health concerns help to design personalized care plan-focusing “Health at Every Size” for a long-term solution.

The human body has the ability to heal itself. As we grow and progress throughout our lives, we develop patterns that can cause us pain and imbalance. We sometimes lose the ability to perform basic functions. Rolfing® can help to align the body in gravity an allow it to function with ease, ultimately improving your quality of life. Rolf Structural Integration approaches the body as a whole, and focuses mainly with the fascial and nervous systems.

When you are facing everyday pressure from school, work, friends, relationships, busy schedules, you can quickly feel at odds with your body or lost in your self care. Then, you layer on the mixed messages from social media and you can go down a spiral with negative thoughts on what you “should” or “shouldn’t be” doing. And that is why I’m so happy you’re here! Imagine being able to trust your body again, to take what it needs and leave what it doesn’t – this opens up space to focus on what’s really important (and fun!) in your life!

HI, I’m Alexis! I am a HAES aligned Registered Dietitian specializing in all forms of disordered eating, substance abuse, and medical nutrition therapy. My nutrition counseling approach would be described as weight neutral, client-centered, and evidence-based. I believe everyone has the potential to actualize a life free from the burdens of dieting, the pressure of self-criticism, and the distress of consistent body dissatisfaction. I also believe clients nutritionally affected by certain medical diagnoses can find joy in preparing meals consistent with their new version of health.

Are you suffering from chronic inflammatory symptoms, such as IBS, GERD, chronic fatigue, headaches, and more? Have you been struggling to get to the bottom of your ongoing health issues, and not getting answers & relief from your healthcare providers? Are you feeling overwhelmed with all of the conflicting nutrition information out there?
