I’m Alexa Federico, the “Girl in Healing.”

I am a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and I am here to support you wherever you are in your autoimmune health journey. Living with Crohn’s disease myself, I understand the challenges as well as the vision for a healthy life that you have for yourself. My mission is to help you empower yourself to take part in your own healing so you can live your most fulfilled life.

Do you have Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis and wonder, “Where do I go from here?”

I wrote my book with you in mind!

“The Complete Guide to Crohn’s Disease & Ulcerative Colitis: A Road Map to Long-Term Healing” lays out dietary and lifestyle options that you can try for yourself. This is the IBD road map I wish I had following my diagnosis when I didn’t know what to do.

Check it out!

By addressing the parts in your life you have control over like food triggers, sleep quality, stress management, exercise routines, your mindset and beliefs, you can support your health.

I specialize in working with people who are new to their diagnosis, new to implementing food and lifestyle changes, or are fed up with trying different strategies without results. I use a variety of tools in my practice to bring the best results possible.
