Interests:
When Alex isn’t helping clients reclaim their health, she’s busy annoying her husband just for fun, engaging in epic wrestling matches with her dog, or having deep (and sometimes ridiculous) conversations with herself while cooking. She believes in keeping things light and fun, both in and out of the kitchen. Alex also enjoys the occasional spontaneous dance party and loves the outdoors—but only in the spring and fall.
