Community Testimonials

“Working with Alandra was honestly life changing.

I responded to one of her posts saying that I was sick of feeling like garbage all the time and having nobody to advocate for me. Feeling like I was being ignored by virtually every doctor when I tried to address the constant digestive distress which I had experienced for as long as I could remember, I felt like I was at a total loss. Her response was so genuine it made me feel like maybe this would finally be my chance to heal.

We worked through more that just diet and lifestyle changes, we looked at my life as a whole and really dove into all areas of stress. What came from this was an incredible shift in my perspective of my life. Working with her helped me find confidence and value within myself along with healing my body from the distress that it had been in for so many years.

I don’t think I could have done this without her support. Alandra has the kindest soul and after the first session I already felt lighter. She listens and speaks in a way that is truly healing and backed with information from her education, doctors, and personal journey. I have experienced a whole new way of living without chronic pain, bloating, irregular digestion, overwhelming stress and sadness, and feeling that my life was controlled by the wants and needs of others. I am now able to live for myself, feeling free of everything that previously held me down. Alandra does amazing work customized to you and your needs to help you find your most nourished self.”

“Alandra is a fierce yet soft healer who can pull you right out of the hole you dug for yourself and will cry with you, then gently nudge you awake when you forget how powerful you are. She was the perfect remedy for my complacency towards life. 

What began as a search for nutritional guidance developed into a friendship and a total GIRL GLOW UP that I am still beaming from. Alandra has all of the qualifications of a studied holistic guru and having survived through her own health struggles she knows what she's talking about, but more than that she is REAL. A teacher/healer that you can put a face to, that will share tears with you, hold space for you, and push you towards your deepest goals. You won't regret this investment.

Working with Alandra is committing to yourself. She holds up a mirror for you and with a gentle ferocity encourages you to look within. Her insight and personal experience allows for a space that is consciously created just for you.

She finds a way to pull you out of your own victimhood and gently places the crown you've always deserved onto your head. In gratitude to you Miss Alandra Michelle. I am forever changed to go boldly forward as myself in this world.”

Christy, Certified Reiki Healer — 6 Month Healing Program

“Alandra is an amazing health provider and inspiration to others! She first came to Nourish Medical Center as a patient in 2018. Witnessing her in the trenches of her health issues, to now becoming a thriving and healthy, certified Integrative Nutrition Health & Wellness Coach, has been nothing short of inspiring. She is walking proof that naturopathic medicine and holistic living do work. Her personal experience gives her a unique view on health and the human body, along with a level of emotional intelligence that serves her clients in a beautiful way. Her level of expertise in Celiac Disease & Gluten Sensitivity/Intolerance, SIBO, Candida, Specific Carbohydrate Diet, kicking sugar cravings, plant based eating, mold toxicity and mold diets, food sensitivities, anti-histamine/mast cell low histamine diet, weight loss/weight gain, mental health, body image, and overall gut health, has made her an asset to Nourish. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable in health and wellness, she is a wonderful source of emotional support; a shoulder to lean on and a place for validation, which are often difficult to find within the medical industry. Working with her is always a heartfelt, yet well educated experience. I'm confident in her skillset and trust her as a reference for my patients at Nourish Medical Center.”

“I absolutely loved working with Alandra. I wish our container didn’t have to come to and end! She has such a wide breadth of knowledge and experience in the realm of holistic health, which was both validating and comforting when opening up about what I’ve been struggling with physically and mentally. Alandra offers a unique approach from any health practitioner I’ve worked with in how she enabled me to take a step back and look at what was going on with my health from a broader, more grounded perspective. It was less about just diet and supplements, and more about shifting my mental model when it came to how I viewed and approached my health issues. Over the course of just a few months she helped me release my dependency on supplements (huge deal) and gave me concrete suggestions that are helping me uncover the underlying root cause of my symptoms. So grateful!”

“Knowing what I know now, there is no hesitation to say I would love to have continued and forever have these sessions every week with Alandra.

My initial intake with Alandra revolved around my mental and emotional health, which in-turn revealed that a lot of work was needed on my diet and physical health. My gut health, eating habits, heartburn, and sleep schedule were the areas of concern. Looking back I cannot begin to imagine that feeling of relentless heartburn. It's terrible to even think that at the age of 26, for at least 2 years, I had heartburn every-single-day. I glossed over the importance of my priorities — the basics.

With no base of knowledge on what foods I should be feeding my body (besides how many bags of skittles were too many) I was sitting in misery every day wondering why I had persistent and severe heartburn, foolishly taking Tums to ease the pain for about 20 minutes. I was even prescribed heartburn medication from a doctor who, with intent to solve my problem, looked at my blood work for about 3 seconds and asked nothing about my diet or physical exercise. I knew nothing about what to eat, what not to eat, what hurts my stomach, what my stomach wants or needs. This is where Alandra came in. Setting the foundation was the fun part of the process, with help from Alandra I got to do the thing I love most: learn.

I learned about what my specific body wanted and needed, and we got to testing my stomach thoroughly. With complete trust and excitement, there was always a determined smile on my face after each session. Trust and faith in Alandra are what ultimately made it easy to be completely honest and provide the information necessary to actually help me. Nutrition adjustments were made, ultimately leading me to happiness. Having a true understanding of what foods were giving me heartburn and what assortment of foods led me to a happy and healthy gut was so important.

Today, my gut health and relationship with food are second nature — I don't have to think about it anymore, I just know, and that is one of the best things I walked away with after working with Alandra. I have a foundation I can rely on, and a dietary understanding about what my body wants and needs. The best part about that is: every so often, I still get to enjoy those skittles, and I don't hate myself for it, or feel ANY heartburn after.

In the same manner that we dissected, destroyed, and rebuilt my knowledge of what I should be eating, we did for my mental and physical health. The timeline of when Alandra and I started working together came right after my father's untimely passing. Funny enough, this was also around the time I was trying to rid myself of the thoughts I still had about a recent break-up. I say this was funny, because I spent so many hours crying, and the guidance I received from Alandra was absolutely instrumental in my growth such that, today there is nothing left to do but to smile and laugh. During this stressful time, I gained weight, I did not exercise, I did not sleep regularly, and I was smoking more weed than a bonfire burns wood. This was a pivotal moment in my life.

Luckily enough I had help, and there was no holding back anything — I opened up entirely to Alandra. There was no other option essentially, it was either sink or swim. Once again we built my foundation and I walked away with an understanding of my mental and physical well-being. I no longer get winded after 5 minutes of playing with my dog or skating, I work out a minimum of 3 days a week, and walk at least 2 miles a day. A year after working with Alandra, I still have the determination and fortitude to get up and move my body every day, something I did not do prior to our sessions. Along with these physical changes, I began to notice mental changes — my indecisive and erratic thoughts don't plague me as they once did. I learned how to cope, how to have an outlet, how to dispose of or laugh at the negative thoughts that swirled around my mind. I learned how to pause, take note, and disregard the thoughts that held me back. The practice of grounding myself, the meditation, the necessary exercise both physically and mentally were built and reinforced in those sessions. I cannot explain the importance enough.

I am so thankful for the help that I received, the manner it was given, the trust I had in it, and the honest communication that took place, it was truly instrumental in my development. Alandra helped me hone in on what I truly wanted in my life, what was important to me then, what was important to me today, and what was important to me in 10 years. The shift in my desires and the acknowledgement of what certain desires bring into my life, transformed my perspective.”

“I started a new job last fall which drastically altered my day to day and unfortunately, impacted how I was nourishing and treating my body. I've dealt with malabsorption, an inflamed/leaky gut, and slew of other ailments in the past as a result of not prioritizing my health, and I knew if I didn't course correct, I was headed down a *not so fun* path. To add to my concerns, my husband and I have been trying to conceive for the last 9+ months, so I knew that I needed to make my health a priority not only for myself, but for the best outcome during our fertility journey. I decided to reach out to Alandra in hopes of tapping into not only her insane wealth of knowledge and resources, but also to have a bit of an accountability partner while I was attempting to navigate everything that was on my plate. Alandra was extremely patient, encouraging, and empathetic through every single session. I walked away from each of our calls feeling excited and ready to tackle all of the things I felt were standing in my way when it came to my mental and physical wellness. In the 3 months of working with Alandra, I was able to explore not only the best ways to nourish my body, but she was also extremely helpful in working through feelings of guilt and stress about how I was managing my busy weeks and sadness and frustration surrounding our fertility journey. I look forward to working with Alandra again as my health needs continue to evolve over the coming years!”

I miss our calls so much already :(

“Meeting with Alandra and talking with her about my past and how it plays into my future was absolutely needed for me. I never had done anything like this before, but the way Alandra listened and asked questions, really helped build a layer of trust between us, to the point we both started opening up about stuff that, at least for me, I hadn’t really ever told anyone. You know you can trust her, and you know that she genuinely cares about the problems, anxiety, or trials that you are facing. We are all humans, and Alandra really brings that to light to the point where I started bringing all my walls down.
She’s amazing at what she does.”

Nathanael Linquist, Personal Trainer, Founder of MUNGU

“I came to Alandra feeling disconnected to my body & confused on what foods to eat and how to sustain a healthy lifestyle. Alandra met me with compassion, understanding and allowed me to move at my pace, which happened to be quite fast! I needed minor adjustments to my diet and Alandra was so kind to work and collaborate with my naturopath to find the foods that worked with my body & my gut health. She was able to not only guide me in nutrition but hold the space to support me through my journey and life transitions. Whether you’re going through an intensive healing journey, or just looking for a healthier, sustainable plan that will work for you, I highly recommend Alandra’s wellness coaching. She is compassionate, resourceful, and will help you find solutions that you can easily integrate into your life.”

Lindsay — 3 Month Healing Program

“I never took self-care seriously until actually working with Alandra. Slowing down, making space and time for movement, and actually taking time to focus on eating well were my last priorities and I was miserable for it. After working through Alandra’s lessons and listening to her insightful discussions, I finally began to realize how important my health was and how much of a difference it makes. Feeling good in every aspect of your life starts with how you treat your mind, soul, and body, and Alandra was the first wellness expert that has ever allowed me to truly understand that and motivate me to make long-term changes. After her course, I felt like a new person. If you're one to usually brush off 'self-care,' set it as a last priority, or are shaky on your wellness journey, this is a sign from the universe to connect with Alandra.”

Release & Renew 28 Day Healing Program

“As someone who has been following Alandra for years, I didn't think twice about joining The Release and Renew Program. The program came at the perfect time, when I really needed to ‘release’ & ‘renew.’ Alandra set up a well structured detailed program that addressed different aspects of healing, growth, and positive lifestyle changes. I was particularly motivated to apply those improvements to my life knowing that there is a support system, individuals from all over the world going through a similar journey of growth and healing. It helped me stay on track and stay more positive, especially with the world's current state.

Within her program, I learned that practicing self care, rest, and joy truly improve the quality of my life. When I start my day implementing different self care techniques, my entire day feels different. She made simple suggestions, that seemed so simple…but they ended up making a bigger difference than I thought they would. Since joining her program and taking on Alandra’s guidance and techniques, overall I feel calmer, happier, and more productive.”
