About Alyssa

Hi! My name is Alyssa and I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist as well as Doctor of Chiropractic. My own personal journey with health has led to being able to help others on their path to healing through natural and holistic methods. I began to learn all I could about health by studying Nutrition and Food Science. I then went to chiropractic school to learn about the great impact of the nervous system on our ability to heal. My most recent venture was with the Root Cause Protocol Institute to address underlying mineral status issues on our symptoms. I believe that combining all of these elements helps build a framework of true lasting health.

Approach to care

I take a very mindful and organic approach to working with clients on their health goals and address root cause issues as well as looking at the impact of the nervous system on healing. I find that these elements all work together and there is no one-size-fits all care plan. Taking one’s healing into their own hands takes a lot of hard work and dedication. This journey is all about you and I am simply here to serve as a guide and resource in that process. I look at all the layers of holistic health and will take the time to gather information that works best for your unique circumstances. I believe that food can harm our health, or heal our health and the choice is up to you! One of my favorite quotes that I live by is: "Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food." - Hippocrates
