Resources
Alyssa is able to connect her clients with resources within the community, whether that be a support/educational group, clinic/hospital, birth center, therapist, medical doctor, or an alternative medicine practitioner.
As a Clinical Ayurvedic Medicine Practitioner (in training), she is open to many different modalities such as acupuncture, chiropractic, massage, and herbal therapy to help you through your birth and postpartum process. Alyssa has strong roots in the community and will help you find resources that jive with your personality and preferences! There is a “perfect fit” for every birthing person!
Alyssa gives a thorough resource list to each of her clients for resourcing within our community (providers who take both In and Out of Network Insurance, Cash Pay, and those covered by Medicaid).
