HI I'm alyssa!
Hi, I’m Alyssa. Dog mom, ex-fitness junkie, and someone who’s been through the cycle of chasing the ‘perfect’ body, only to end up with a list of health issues like anxiety, chronic pain, and insomnia. After countless failed attempts, I gave up on traditional healing methods, feeling more hopeless and obsessed than ever.
Then I discovered the power of neuroscience. I learned how to use my brain’s built-in systems to heal my body—tools I already possessed. Breathing techniques calmed my anxiety and healed my gut. Eye movements reduced my pain, improved my sleep, and boosted my mood. By understanding how my nervous system works, I was able to heal and embrace my body without guilt or shame.
With over a decade of studying neuroscience, I created Better Expert to help others unlock their body’s natural healing power. This program empowers you to reset your nervous system, reconnect with your body, and find real healing through a science-backed, compassionate approach.

Better Expert is backed with years of research in neuroscience.
It is designed to put you back into the driver’s seat by putting a stop to quick fix and cookie cutter approaches and placing your unique neurological needs at the forefront so that you can step into the process of living a life designed by you.
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.
Do you often feel wrong for how you exist in your body?
Do you often feel like no one understands you or has taken the time to sit and hear what its been like to live with your symptoms?
Have you ever been told it was just in your head, that you were being dramatic and that you should just get over it?
Has the world made you feel like you’re getting it wrong?
Are you craving a space where your experiences are held with compassion and your pain is not dismissed?
Better Expert may be your next home base of support. Within Better Expert, I help you learn all about the ways your nervous system is working with you so you can see that you are never too much, too anxious, too sensitive or too dramatic.
Better Expert adopts a whole human approach to "health" with a foundation rooted in extensive research in neuroscience, our approach seeks to empower individuals.
Our methodology distinguishes itself by replacing one-size-fits-all solutions and hasty fixes, with a priority on your individual needs. We aim to restore your agency, allowing you to embark on a path toward a life crafted by your own design.
I firmly adhere to the belief that I cannot facilitate your healing directly. However, I am committed to equipping you with the necessary tools, offering compassionate support, and providing a non-judgmental space. It is within this environment that you can discover how to navigate your own healing journey.
NOT A ONE-SIZE FIT ALL PROGRAM
We’ll explore brain-based assessments to identify the root causes of pain and disconnection in your body. This approach helps you understand your nervous system’s needs and empowers you with targeted movement practices that recalibrate and reconnect you. Rather than focusing on temporary relief, we address pain from a nervous system perspective for lasting results.
Say goodbye to restrictive food rules and embrace intuitive eating through a neural lens. Our brain-based approach focuses on how the brain and body communicate about hunger, fullness, and enjoyment. You’ll learn strategies to support your brain’s natural responses, heal from rigid eating habits, and build a compassionate relationship with food.
Mindset work goes beyond positive thinking—it's about rewiring your brain to safely experience joy, peace, and presence. Through neuroscience-based training, we’ll transform your thought patterns, helping you break cycles of self-doubt and body mistrust. By reflecting on your safety needs, boundaries, and core values, you'll cultivate body trust. We’ll also use tools like Voxer and voice memos for ongoing support, ensuring you confidently integrate these shifts toward peace and joy.
Using a brain based lens, you learn how to harness your body’s fight, flight, flight or freeze responses, so you finally learn how to listen, trust and feel at home in your body.
Traditional methods of calorie counting are left behind. Using my 5 step approach to intuitive eating, you’ll learn the role brain health plays in understanding your own biological, genetic, and emotional needs when it comes to fueling your body.
