While completing her Honours Bachelor of Science at the University of Toronto, Alisia fell in love with fitness, nutrition, and holistic health.
During her training at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, she experience anxiety. depression, and an unfillable void of not feeling “good enough.” She numbed this feeling through disordered eating and self-sabotage.

In her spare time, Alisia loves learning about other ways to live a life of freedom, and how to build a passive income empire.
