Alicia is a specialist in natural wellness programs for children, teens and adults.

Author of Mom I have a Piñata in my Tummy, a fun and entertaining kids' book that explains what gluten is and what can happen when it is mixed with too much sugar. She has recently redefined the path to both family and teens wellness by creating both in-person and virtual In Balance Wellness Programs.

She loves discovering effective, personalized steps to increased health, and helping others along on that journey. Her decades of experience as a biology university instructor and nutritionist, as well as a parental coach, has allowed her to uniquely and compassionately share wellness both within the English and Spanish communities. 

Alicia's passion for wellness starts at home with her husband, Grant, and their amazingly wonderful three adult children.

Alicia created "Comunidad en Balance" with Idalia, an expert in emotional intelligence and a mom of an amazing teenager. She brings her expertise in thoughts, limiting beliefs and emotions, that support the creation of a healthy lifestyle at home.
