Alicja graduated with her Master’s degree in Nursing for Family Nurse Practitioner in 2013 from UNC-Charlotte and maintains FNP certification with the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners. She spent the first 10 years as a nurse practitioner working in internal medicine and has always had a passion for preventative wellness and education on diet and lifestyle changes to improve health holistically.
Over the years she has become more frustrated with how the system works, a “pill for every ill” and the focus being on disease management with little support from insurance when it comes to disease prevention and overall wellness. In recent years Alicja has become more disheartened with lack of hormone support for women in their third and fourth decades dealing with hormonal shifts.
They are told everything looks fine while their bodies are screaming they aren’t. She found functional medicine in a quest to fix her own issues and decided this was the path to continue on as it aligned with her desire to promote wellness and take a holistic approach addressing all aspects of one’s health/body. She is married with two young children, active in her church community, and a recent lover of yoga!

Functional Medicine is a personalized approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of health issues, rather than just treating symptoms. It involves a comprehensive evaluation of your medical history, lifestyle, and advanced lab testing to develop tailored treatment plans.
