About Me
Hi, I'm Alicia
Kentucky Nurse Practitioner | HTMA Specialist | Mama
I see women every day who've been told they're fine—while their body seems to be telling a different story. The exhaustion that doesn't lift. The cycles that feel off. The feeling that something is wrong, even when labs come back "normal."
If that's you, you're not imagining it. Those signals may mean something.
After years in conventional medicine, I noticed the same pattern: women showing up exhausted, depleted, and dismissed—especially around pregnancy and postpartum. Labs looked "normal," but they didn't feel normal.
Becoming a mama myself made me even more passionate about this work. Now I help Kentucky women recognize the signs of depletion and rebuild their reserves intentionally—so motherhood doesn't demand more than their body can sustain.
You don't have to figure this out alone.
Why I Do This Work
My Pappy - where it all began
I grew up watching my Pappy manage his Parkinson's symptoms and type 2 diabetes through diet and lifestyle—not just medication. That planted a seed: what we do every day matters.
In critical care nursing, I saw the same frustrating pattern over and over—preventable conditions that could have been caught earlier. I also faced my own struggles with fatigue, breakouts, and poor sleep. Through my own healing journey, I discovered how much our energy and hormones are shaped by foundations: metabolism, stress, nutrition, and daily rhythms.
I earned my Master of Science in Nursing to become a Family Nurse Practitioner, then completed advanced training in HTMA interpretation and functional nutrition—specifically to help women who feel depleted but don't know why.
This isn't just my job. It's personal. I understand what it feels like to be dismissed, and I'm committed to making sure you're not.

Why Intention
I created Intention Holistic Health because I kept meeting women who deserved better—women who were told they were "fine" while running on empty. Women preparing for pregnancy without knowing their reserves were already depleted. Women postpartum who were dismissed with "that's just how it is."
This is a space where you're actually heard. Where we connect the dots between your symptoms and what your body may need. Where we focus on foundations—not quick fixes.
My approach centers on understanding:
I work alongside your primary care provider, OB-GYN, or midwife—not in place of them. My role is to help you uncover what may be draining your reserves and rebuild them intentionally, so you can feel like yourself again.

LET'S WORK TOGETHER
When you finally understand what's been draining you, everything can change. Imagine having the energy to be present with your kids, the clarity to make decisions without brain fog, and the confidence that comes from truly knowing your body.
That's what's possible when we work together.
