About Alexa

dietitian nutritionist

Registered Dietitian Nutritionist & yoga instructor

 Hi! I am The Better Balanced Dietitian, also known as “The Yogi’s Nutritionist”. I take a whole body approach through the teachings of yoga and the science of nutrition to help you achieve optimal wellness from within. My focus is finding balance through meals with better blood glucose control, hormonal homeostasis, and functional fueling. 

I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN), and hold 2 degrees in nutrition .

I am a certified fitness instructor (AFAA) and experienced registered yoga teacher (E-RYT 200) who has been teaching for over a decade. I am also a YACEP (Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider) provider to continuing education for other yoga instructors.

I keep my knowledge up to date by completing continued education units which count towards re-certifying my licenses. I have trained in many different courses, consisting of both Western and Eastern modalities. My approach to your nutritional care is informed by many years of learning, and many certifications.

I believe nutrition and yoga go hand in hand, not only for physical health, but for mental health as well. 

I take a whole food, whole person approach to nutritional wellness. I draw from many different modalities of teaching, research, and philosophy. 

And I want to help YOU reach your wellness goals.

I want you to THRIVE right NOW – not “10 pounds form now”. Not “when my stomach settles down”. Not “when I have more time”.

I’m here to give you nutrition knowledge so that you are equipped to make the BEST food choices for you, no matter what lifestyle/eating habits/illness/disease you are living with (if any).

I am here to help you AVOID further injury or harm through bodily movement and/or nutrition.

I am here to help you make LASTING lifestyle changes so you feel better than ever.

I can’t wait to see what you accomplish.

SUCCESS STORIES
FROM my CLIENTS

I turned to Alexa after my body didn’t react well to a new medication. She is so easy to work with! Non judgemental, organized, and super professional. She was also really flexible in formulating a plan that will work for me. After our initial meeting, I came out feeling really encouraged. Any questions I had, she had prompt and thorough responses to. ALSO, in reviewing my daily intake, Alexa noticed a supplement I was taking which is contraindicated for my cancer history. It’s a small thing, but she may have saved my life. Thank you Alexa.

Alexa is an outstanding yogi and nutritionist. When it comes to yoga practice, her teaching is based on your well-being, and she adapts to your necessities. As a nutritionist, she helps you achieve your goals without forcing a diet that is not attainable not sustainable. I have had the pleasure to work with Alexa in both capacities as a yogi and nutritionist, and in all, she has excelled and inspired me to continue my journey into living a healthier life.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Alexa for several years and have learned from her in every yoga class. From my very first yoga class to her private business, I have followed her through it all. Alexa has the ability to listen and read the class as well as connect with us. What I really like is that whatever level you may be in, she gives alternative options that put less stress on your body. She is extremely motivational in kicking up our heartbeat in boot camp and is also soothing in yoga.
