My passion is to support people in living a fully expressed life; being who you really are. That means feeling self-connected, self-loving and whole in body, mind, & spirit. And, it means being able to make nourishing choices in your life.

I received my training in Nutritional Wellness Counseling at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in 2007. IIN is the only nutrition school integrating all the different dietary theories. 

I am proud to announce that as of May 2009,  I am a Certified Integrative Coach with the Ford Institute in San Diego, CA.  This powerful and unique method of coaching is based upon the work of best selling author, Debbie Ford.  Integrative Coaching provides a powerful tool for your growth and change.  The focus is in the area of your Shadow, that part of you that often creates self-sabotage.

I am also a graduate of Loyola University, Chicago with a Master in Social Work and a Bachelor in Education from Illinois State University, as well as a Certified Hypnotherapist.  I have a private counseling practice in Evanston, IL .

Throughout my adult life I have struggled with feelings of low self esteem, resulting in poor choices that were self sabotaging.  When things were not working out, especially in the area of relationships, I would find myself turning to food for comfort.  My health quickly suffered and I felt helpless to the many mood swings that would occur.  Most days I felt a victim to life, wondering why others had it so good and despite all of my potential I was silently suffering?

When I began to learn about the balance between what I was eating, believing about myself and where my choices were coming from, I not only found new tools available to me, but I discovered my real self in the process.  

In switching my diet to one filled with vegetables, grains and sources of healthy protein, the energy I had been loosing quickly returned and my mood began to improve.  Soon people were complimenting me on my skin, I shed pounds and my life started to change in a multitude of ways, for the better. 

Today, I use my passion for wellness in helping others towards achieving a heathier lifestyle.

Working with Alyse has been a priviledge!  I got the kind of support I needed to make changes on SO many levels.  Through her gentle suggestions and non-judgemental technique, I learned things I could not have imagined, about food, about caring for myself, about opening spaces to grow.  I have not only been able to create a deeper relationship with my husband, but also beginning to be able to do the work I feel destined to do. Thank you!

I'm grateful for my heightened awareness of the value of organic foods - and as a result, the awareness of how available they are.  Recently, I was anxious/excited after a business appointment, and noticed how much I wanted to make those feelings go away by stopping at White Castle - I didn't.  Instead I had some of my organic vegetables as soon as I got home, and after I settled in.  I made lunch for myself. I'm glad I'm learning new ways of behaving - new ways of responding to my own feelings.

Your Sugar Blues talk was very informative. It helped to increase my awareness of the damaging effects of sugar - physically and emotionally. After hearing your talk, I would tell my friends that a better diet equals a better quality of life, longer and more productive.

I found the Sugar Blues presentation to be a life changing one.  It really  enouraged me to stop and think about how we eat.; realizing that food makes up your whole body.

I feel like I have so many options of things to eat because of completing the program with you.  I definitely learned a lot from it.
