About Alexandra

Hi, I'm Allie - I have a husband with Type 1 diabetes so I have a special passion for diabetes education & nutrition therapy, but I also have a huge passion for the French way of living hence the main inspiration for my approach: mindfulness, food exploration and variety, and overall health improvement.

Approach to care

General health-promoting behaviors with mindful eating at the center and all with an individualized, whole-person approach. I encourage people to eat more plants while meeting them where they are. This means: I won't recommend the same strategies for everyone, because we're all different people. We will work together to find what works best for your needs and preferences! For best results, we need to modify your habits one at a time and make sure that these habits are maintainable. This takes time! I will dig for the root cause of your symptoms (such as bloating) because if we don't figure that out, they likely won't be resolved. I can help you explore, develop & maintain a healthy relationship with food & exercise as well as encouraging variety and progress over perfection! This gives you support to make sustainable lifestyle changes that improve your overall health & wellness. I also personally have ADHD, anxiety, and depression so I provide neurodivergent-affirming care.

Your first session with Alexandra

We start with questions regarding your medical history, health concerns, medications, lifestyle eating habits and from there work together to set some goals. Although it takes a handful of sessions to get a thorough assessment and really get to know you, I like to lay a solid foundation for our work together in this first session. We will talk through where you've been to get you to today and begin to uncover what's underneath your medical, food, and/or body image concerns so we can help you heal from the inside out. My hope is to be able to identify key areas to begin our work together by the end of this session and if appropriate, some small actionable steps you can take moving forward; and I encourage you to commit to nutrition therapy/coaching long-term.
