About Alexis
Originally from Omaha, Nebraska, Alexis moved to North Carolina for her degrees in Nutrition from North Carolina A&T State University. During her graduate studies, she led a clinical trial on yogurt supplementation in breastfeeding women, resulting in publications in three journals. After her dietetic internship at UNC Greensboro in 2021, she began her nutrition career at Atrium Health, working in oncology, ICU, and cardiac units. Currently at Nourish, Alexis aims to build meaningful relationships and positively impact her clients. In addition to her role at Nourish, she teaches nutrition courses as an adjunct professor at North Carolina A&T, actively engaging with her community.
Approach to care
In her role, she offers personalized nutrition counseling to a diverse clientele, aiming to foster healthier relationships with food and guide them towards optimal health through cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational counseling techniques tailored to each individual’s needs. Alexis is committed to create a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel empowered to discuss challenges, set goals, and celebrate successes on their health journey. Her client-centered approach, combined with her expertise in acute and chronic conditions, is integral to collaboratively developing and supporting clients’ nutrition-related goals.
Your first session with Alexis
During your first session expect a relaxed environment where I would like to get to know more about you, what inspired you to seek nutrition services, what are your goals and map out a plan on how I can help you reach your nutrition and wellness goals. I love to throw in nutrition tidbits of information as we uncover specific areas to focus in so that you can have a better understanding of why I am making the recommendation. Prepare to leave your first session feeling empowered, motivated, and more knowledgeable on how to take on this health journey!
