Hey There,

I’m Alissa, and I’m pretty sure I know how you’re feeling right now.

When I was diagnosed with MS, I had no idea what to do (or who to turn to) for help. I also had no idea that the foods I ate or my lifestyle habits would make a huge difference in my healing and prognosis.

Instead, I was given a stack of medication pamphlets and told to “pick one”. It was without a doubt the most confusing & lonely time of my life.

follow me on instagram for all the ms realness, lol.

Since first being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, I’ve had multiple relapses where my life was put on hold, debilitating pain that limited my movement and overwhelming fatigue that made the thought of getting up for a cup of coffee seem impossible.

Many times, I felt like my symptoms controlled my life, and I often thought to myself: “I wish I had someone who could help me navigate this.”

Feeling frustrated and fed up is what led me to become a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP), an Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) Certified Coach, a Certified Personal Trainer, and learn how to use my skills as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in new ways.

I also founded, this company, to help people who have been diagnosed with MS feel in control of their lives again.

I believe in a holistic approach to help clients end the endless cycle of frustrating symptoms. I work with them to create their personalized plan of health and healing. I use small, sustainable steps in each plan I create and focus on helping them unblock any mental resistance and/or challenges to healing.

When I am not working with clients, I can be found at the beach with my husband, traveling to new places and spending as much time as possible outside. In August of 2015 I got married to the most (insert mushy gushy stuff here) man, and I’m lucky to have him.

I BELIEVE IN:

Self-care, straight talk, strong coffee, naps, and living in my favorite hoodie.

I’M NOT ABOUT:

Making excuses, taking life too seriously, playing by the rules, giving into fears.

YOU CAN FIND ME:

Guesting on podcasts, on coaching calls with my awesome clients, or cooking/hanging out with my hubs.

DAILY RITUALS:

Morning symptom journaling, cuddles with my cats and usually some EFT or light stretching to start the day.

My Favorite Things

My three cats are my world. They’re basically little people who run our house.

Okay so I don’t “love” social media – but I DO love showing up for you guys & offering as much value as I can. It’s what gets me out of bed in the morning!

I love a good cup of coffee, anytime of day.

follow along on Instagram:

This isnt me on a high horse touting how ive been cured of MS, because far from the truth.

And probs seems weird to say coming from someone who talks about MS for a living 😅

But when I was diagnosed at 24, I had no idea what my life was going to look like.

There was so much uncertainty.
So much to learn.
And so many questions about what this diagnosis meant for my future.

For a long time, I mostly tried not to think about it. I kept going with life until my symptoms made it harder to ignore what was happening in my body.

But eventually, I couldn’t ignore it anymore and my life depended on what my next move was (kinda dramatic, but also kinda true?)

I slowly started making changes, like what I ate, how I moved and how I managed stress. And wouldn’t you know, I started to feel better.

And over the last 10ish years, I’ve slowly built myself back up from the Aggressive MS Rock Bottom that I was in, to living a life full of things I want to do, like gardening all day or hiking Mt. Washington.

Now again, I’m not cured! I certainly still have days where MS takes center stage.
But I’m a hell of a lot better than I used to be, and now have some days where it’s not even on my radar

I want that freedom for you too.
I’ll be opening up my latest Masterclass soon on the method I used to get here.

Until then, tell me- how much does MS dominate your day?

Oh I definitely did, kicked him out of my kitchen to be exact.

But I think this relationship was the straw that broke my camels back in terms of developing MS.

I can see other risk factors throughout my life, but this 10000% was the final one.

If you are in a toxic or abusive relationship, job, friendship, family- this is your sign to put yourself first and leave!

These and so many more things are helpful to me in reducing symptoms…

But do I do them all, everyday? Absolutely not 😅

Some are staples, some are supports..

How do you take care of your symptoms?
What’s easiest?
What’s hardest?

Diagnosis TLDR:
Scene: 23, in graduate school, working at Target full time, and unfortunately in an abusive relationship

- vision got blotchy blurry
- spine got electrical impulse feeling with movement
- eye doc, who said get an MRI, then left a message saying don’t have a brain tumor 😲 but see a neurologist IMMEDIATELY 😲😲
- neurologist: does all the tests. More MRIs, visual field, AWFUL spinal tap 😵‍💫

Yup, MS 🧡

What was your first symptom?
what told you something was wrong?

It’s easy to outsource the understanding of our bodies to the internet and “other”

I mean I get it, I was once in an unpredictable body too- and it sucked. I didn’t understand what was happening and I would have loved for someone to say: here’s the key.

But what if… instead of looking outward for more info.. you went inward and gave yourself the information, and in doing so you helped to improve how your body feels and functions.. sounds kinda cool, right?

I explain it all in my Slap it to Map it training.. comment SLAP and I’ll send it to you asap

Comment SLAP and I’ll send you the short how to video!

Your body functioning better so you feel better in 3 minutes?

It sounds like a stupid infomercial BS claim I know and I roll my eyes every time I type it, but.. it’s kinda true?

Idk, I’ll let you be the final judge

It’s an easy exercise with a silly name, but it actually packs a punch and can really change how you feel.

Imagine measurably more energy and feeling more stable and balanced- and even improving a few MS symptoms here and there too?🤷🏻‍♀️

Your possibilities are endless!
