About

Hello!

My journey in the healing arts has been more like a spiral than a straight line, each layer building on the last, each chapter deepening my understanding of what it truly means to live well in a body.

Over more than two decades that spiral has moved through the physical, mental, emotional, and energetic bodies. It's clear now what I have really been circling all along: helping women feel not just at home in their bodies, but sovereign in them.

To trust what the body is saying. To understand the inputs that make us feel truly vibrant, whether that is food, movement, breath, meditation, journaling, or the simple act of being witnessed in community. To come into union with all the layers of who we are. This is the heart of the Nourished Method and the thread that weaves everything together.

My greatest passion now is creating nourishing spaces, experiences, and opportunities for women to connect with themselves, with their bodies, and with each other.

Because connection is where healing lives.

Where It All Began ~

I've always been a question-asker who does things a little differently. At 14, I became a vegetarian and dove headfirst into learning how food interacts with our bodies, environment, and society, sparking a fascination that never left me.

That curiosity led me to massage school after finishing my degree at Southern Oregon University. I found my deepest satisfaction in clinical settings, where I could see real results over time. From there, a natural pull toward pregnancy and birth led me to prenatal massage training and eventually doula work. Attending over a dozen births before having my own children felt like a blessing and the most natural thing in the world.

My introduction to Functional Medicine was a true paradigm shift: stop chasing symptoms, find the root cause. I was hooked. In 2013, my family settled in Nevada County, where a client in the final months of her cancer journey changed everything. Through our weekly sessions, she told me she had no regrets. Being with her so intimately reminded me of the same quiet sacred space I'd held in the birth room, and it lit a fire in me. With "no regrets" as my compass, I enrolled in nutrition training and Wellness With Ali was born.

Since then, I've built a layered, integrative practice with certifications in Nutritional Endocrinology, Women's Functional Nutrition, Perimenopause and Menopause Coaching, and Functional Breathwork. In 2024, I added Reiki, Hypnotherapy, NLP, EFT, and Quantum Coaching to my toolkit. Most recently, I completed a 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training, which feels like the thread weaving it all together.

Today, I help clients balance blood sugar, hormones, and their nervous systems, drawing on two decades of education, lived experience, and intuition. We create a space to come home to yourself, feel safe in your body, and trust you have what it takes to be well.

When I'm not working, you'll find me on the trails, doing yoga, swimming in the Yuba, paddling on one of our gorgeous local lakes, or adventuring with my husband Billy and our kids, Isaac and Isla.
