About Me
Hi, I'm Alicia
MSN, APRN, FNP-C · Functional Medicine Provider · Mom
I help Kentucky moms, moms-to-be, and their kids get back to the basics their bodies run on, with real information and a simple plan made for them.

My Story
Why I Do This Work
I grew up watching my granddad take his health into his own hands, managing Parkinson's and type 2 diabetes through diet and lifestyle. Our whole family felt the ripple of what one educated, empowered patient could do.
That stuck with me. Later, working in critical care, I saw how often people reached a crisis before anyone looked at the basics: how they ate, slept, handled stress, and nourished their bodies. I wanted to help families much earlier than that.
So I became a family nurse practitioner and kept learning, with training in HTMA, brain health, and pediatric supplementation, to help moms and their kids build those foundations at home. It doesn't have to be complicated. Most of the time, it starts with the basics.
My Own Experience
Why I Start With Testing
I've had my own seasons of exhaustion, hormone, and sleep struggles. Specific testing is what made my own plan clear: balanced minerals, whole-food nutrition focused on what my body actually needed (no fads), and a few targeted supplements.
Today, postpartum with two kids, I have more energy than I did before my first pregnancy. Every body is different, which is why I start with testing.
My Approach
Why Intention
I created Intention Holistic Health for women preparing for pregnancy, moms who've been told they're fine but don't feel fine, and for parents searching for answers for their kids.
This is functional medicine rooted in the basics, not endless detoxes, cleanses, or 20-supplement routines. I work alongside your primary care provider, OB-GYN, midwife, or pediatrician, not in place of them.
