ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Alina — my lifelong search became my purpose…
My interest in health began long before it became my profession. At age 11, I was diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis, which led to years of back issues and a desire to better understand and support my body.
As I got older, I began experiencing other health challenges, including digestive issues, anxiety, recurring fevers, and an overall feeling of being unwell. I found myself going from doctor to doctor, often hearing that my labs looked normal, even though I knew I didn't feel well. At the same time, I was building a demanding career, raising two children, managing a household, and constantly pushing myself to keep going.
Eventually, my body was telling me I couldn't keep living that way. Even after stepping away from work, I wasn't recovering the way I expected.
That experience led me deeper into functional health. Functional testing and a whole-body approach gave me something I had been searching for for years: clarity, direction, and a better understanding of how the pieces could be connected.
Today, as an AADP Board-Certified Holistic Health Practitioner, Certified Functional Health Practitioner, and Lifestyle & Wellness Coach, I help others who feel stuck in their health better understand their individual patterns and create realistic, personalized strategies to support their well-being.
My lifelong search for answers eventually became my purpose: helping others find greater clarity in their own health journey.
