About Me
Hi, I'm Alicia
Family Nurse Practitioner | Functional Medicine Provider
You've done the conventional checkup. Your labs came back fine. But the cycle that won't regulate, the postpartum fog, or the afternoon energy crash tell you there's more to look at.
I trained inside conventional medicine as a family nurse practitioner. What pulled me toward functional medicine was a pattern I kept seeing: women who'd done everything their providers asked, and still had unanswered questions. I want to help you close that gap.
Becoming a mama myself made me even more passionate about this work. Now I help Kentucky women 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 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 for his own health.
In critical care, I kept seeing preventable conditions that could have been caught earlier—and my own struggles with fatigue, hormones, and sleep showed me how much our health rests on foundations like nutrition, stress, and daily rhythms. So I became a Family Nurse Practitioner and trained in HTMA and functional nutrition, building a functional medicine approach for women who feel depleted but don't know why.
That's the same passion I bring to my work today — educating and empowering women in their specific context to make practical, sustainable changes that help them and their families thrive. We don't have to overcomplicate it. Often, it's just going back to the basics and creating solid foundational wellness.

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.
This is functional medicine for women, rooted in sustainable, foundation-repairing care—not endless detoxes, cleanses, or herbal protocols. My focus is preconception preparation and postpartum depletion recovery: rebuilding the reserves motherhood draws on.
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 understand what may be draining your reserves, and build a wellness plan to support rebuilding them.
