About Alyssa

Hello! I am a mother of three, living in Minnesota with my family. Proper nutrition is the foundation of a healthy pregnancy, smooth postpartum recovery, and sustained energy for motherhood. As a Registered Dietitian and IBCLC, I specialize in helping women meet their unique nutrition needs during this critical time—from preparing for pregnancy to nourishing their bodies postpartum. With over 10 years of experience in nutrition counseling and 7 years working closely with moms and babies, I provide evidence-based, personalized guidance to ensure you’re getting the nutrients essential for your health and your baby’s development. My dual expertise in nutrition and lactation allows me to help you balance dietary needs while supporting breastfeeding and postpartum recovery.

Approach to care

My philosophy is grounded in real food, practical strategies, and compassionate support. Unlike generic nutrition plans, I provide individualized strategies that fit your lifestyle and evolving needs. Whether you’re trying to conceive, growing a baby, or healing postpartum, I’ll help you stay nourished and confident in your nutrition choices. Let’s create a plan that truly supports you during this transformative time.

Your first session with Alyssa

During your first nutrition session with me, you can expect a welcoming, non-judgmental space where we’ll discuss your unique needs and goals. Together, we’ll take a deep dive into your daily routine and explore what makes you happy, so I can better understand your lifestyle and preferences.
