Approach to care

My approach is all about YOU - your goals, your needs, and your lifestyle. I believe in client-led sessions that empower you to take charge of your health, with personalized, realistic habits that fit into your life. My practice is rooted in non-judgmental and compassionate care, where you feel supported throughout your journey. Using science-backed nutrition and wellness education, I help you build sustainable habits that lead to lasting results - without restriction, guilt, or overwhelm.

Your first session with Alyssa

In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other and ensure we’re the right fit for your journey. We’ll explore your health history, your relationship with food, movement, and your body, and address any questions you may have.
