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?

Neuroscience health coaching helps you reconnect with your body using personalized, science-backed tools designed to support healing and manage symptoms effectively.

Together, we’ll create a customized plan to reduce pain, restore energy, and help you regain the confidence to return to the activities you love—without pain limiting you.

Most health advice: “Just follow this plan, push through the discomfort, and hope for the best.”

But that one-size-fits-all approach ignores your unique needs and how your brain and body truly function.

With my trauma-informed, neuroscience-based coaching, we take out the guesswork and use science-backed strategies tailored specifically to you.

You'll receive:

A Personalized Healing Plan — Tailored to your nervous system, movement patterns, and goals, using brain-based strategies to help you find real, lasting relief from chronic pain, anxiety, or fatigue.

A Science-Backed Approach to Pain & Energy — Move away from quick fixes and surface-level solutions. Learn how to regulate your nervous system, restore trust in your body, and feel at home in it again.

Ongoing Support, Adjustments & Guidance — Healing isn’t linear. I’ll be with you every step of the way, adapting your plan to ensure progress without overwhelm.

Tools That Give You Your Life Back — So you can stop spending energy just trying to get through the day and start focusing on the things you want to do—without pain holding you back.


IN MOVING FREELY AND RECLAIMING YOUR LIFE—WITHOUT PAIN HOLDING YOU BACK.

I'd be honored to support you...

-ASHLEY

"The breath work and vision drills have been huge! It changes the rest of my day. they've given me an extended appreciation of movement and what can actually be impactful. Alyssa is extremely knowledgeable and so well versed in a nutrition, movement, outlook, perspective, neurobiology. The program is so comprehensive and helps you bridge those bridges between your emotions and your body. So much of this program is about finding your own answers instead of looking externally, Better Expert, equips you with longer and deeper change"

-ALISON

Alyssa is totally client centered-- she listens to you, pays attention to your goals and priorities and then ever so subtly challenges you to push yourself beyond where you could ever go on your own.

Alyssa is very sensitive to my ups and downs and modifies my work out accordingly. When my back starts acting up or my knee bothers me, Alyssa pays attention to helping with the pain in the short term and correcting what led to the pain in the long term. She is a true partner, helping you to meet your goals and find ways to integrate health and fitness into your life forever.

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.

EAGER BEAVER

CURIOUS STUDENT

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.

-Katie


Alyssa's method of training is really well-rounded - from traditional exercises (things like weights and kettlebells) to brain and eye exercises to breath work. Her knowledge around food and fueling is really comprehensive (and low pressure / low guilt). She really has a vast wealth of health knowledge so I don't think she treats any two clients the same way. What I love about working with her is that she doesn't just help you at the gym - she helps you find ways to build a better life. She works to understand you and your needs and then built options that are accessible and easy to integrate. 

-COurtney 

I was impressed by her depth of knowledge - she has clearly studied beyond the average personal trainer. She will not only look at your form and prescribe exercises, she will evaluate your breathing, what your eyes are doing, global movement patterns and local compensatory patterns. She is also very passionate about what she does, which is very encouraging. Lastly, she preaches self-care and self-love, and we could all use a lot more of that in our lives. If you're looking to feel positive, encouraged, empowered, and strong - go see Alyssa.

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.
