When it comes to moving & being in your body, do you wish it could feel like a safe place to call home?
Do you ever wish you confidently knew how to fuel, move, rest, connect and caretake for body?
When it comes to living in your body, do you wish it could feel like a safe place to call home?
But instead it feels like you're a stranger or a visitor to your own body?
I help you learn how to use neuroscience and this that resides within you, so you can better listen, trust and your body.
THAT'S WHY I CREATED....
A 6-month group coaching program where we equip you with tools rooted in neuroscience, so you can move towards your goal with your body instead of against your body.
A healing process rooted in science and compassion.
That's why I created....
That's why I created....
Have you dabbled in nearly every fitness trend, only to be left feeling more overwhelmed and frustrated at how to work with your body?
Have you ever felt like giving up?
I created Better Expert to between concepts like ‘listen to your body” & “trust your body” by rooting it through a to help your own body’s experiences.

I'm Alyssa.
Dog Mom and ex-fitness junkie. My life revolved around 5am fasted cardio, double days and meal prep Sundays. I chased perfection in a body, until the "perfect" body left me nursing a laundry list of ailments like depression, anxiety attacks, leaky gut, physical pain, extreme weight fluctuations, insomnia and so much more.
I gave up on my healing journey because every avenue I stepped into left me feeling more obsessive, more at fault and more hopeless.
Then this conversation of working with your brain to heal your body surfaced. I cracked open the door to studying the brain and I haven't looked back.
I learned to breathe, which helped reduce my anxiety which helped heal my gut.
I moved my eyes, which reduced my pain, which improved my sleep, which boosted my mood.
I was healing and it was with tools that I already possessed.
As I began learning about this built in surveillance system constantly scanning for ways to keep me safe and alive, I was able to remove feelings of guilt or shame surrounding the experiences in my body.

“I would recommend Better Expert because it offers something that no eating plan or health program can offer - consistent support and education in trusting my own intuition about my health. Better Expert does such a good job of combining neuroscience and new helpful information for my health journey, with a big shift in mindset towards trusting myself.”
"The DABBLER"
You’ve dabbled in just about everything - yoga to help destress, whole30 to help manage inflammation, intermittent fasting to help support your busy schedule, cupping to manage pain etc., yet you’re left with more questions than answers and with a nervous system living on edge for something else to go wrong
Better Expert helps the “Dabbler” use their years of gathered data as information to pave a path forward, with your nervous system guiding the way.
"the Them first"
Your nervous system learned that keeping the peace was more important than your own inner peace. But this protective habit has left you feeling like a stranger to your own body. You're ready to unlearn these habits and focus more on yourself and your needs first and foremost. The only problem... you're not really sure how to tap into your intuition, or maybe can't even hear what your body needs.
Better Expert supports the “Them First”, to pause in the reflex of saying “yes”, so you can create the space for your needs to fully evolve.
"the CURIOUS STUDENT"
You're curious to learn about your body in a way that opens up a dialogue with your symptoms, pains, and health frustrations. You’re curious to learn why traditional methods of exercising your body have never really worked for you and want to learn how to nourish your body and move her for enjoyment without guilt and shame. You want to find answers and are willing to embrace the practice of experimentation in order to walk away with the tools that will allow you to feel like the expert of your body.
Better Expert soothes the “Curious Student’s” desire to learn with years of data and research in neuroscience so you can finally breathe a sigh of relief in your healing journey.
DABBLER
You’ve tried keto, whole30, counting calories, fasted cardio, HIIT, Crossfit. You name it, you’ve dabbled in it. But even with the amount of experiments you’ve run, you’re still confused as to why nothing has worked for you.You’re exhausted by the idea of “getting back on the wagon" because it seems like you're already tried everything out there.
You’re focused on the need to do "health" perfectly, but the fear of making a mistake keeps you cycling through old behaviors like the pushing and grinding you wish to break free of. You default to being too hard on yourself, especially when it comes to your body. So you push harder, ignoring her and disconnect from her needs.

"This program and the nonjudgemental space Alyssa creates, allows you to interrupt those negative thoughts you've had for years about food. Her approach to re-learning your body is like nothing I've experienced. She has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to understanding the human body beyond what I knew was out there. All the education around the brain really took the blame off my shoulders and allowed me finally understand my body. I am a completely new person and am confident that I have the skillsets to continue this journey to better understanding my body".
