Our Mission

At Empowered Children’s Wellness, our mission is to provide a nurturing and supportive environment where parents can find the resources and guidance they need to help their children thrive.

We prioritize root-cause medicine, going beyond merely treating symptoms to uncover and address the underlying factors impacting your child’s health.

By blending over two decades of experience in traditional medicine with the latest advancements in functional medicine, we offer a comprehensive approach that empowers families and promotes long-term well-being.

We also support families by providing functional medicine health coaching for the parents. This is utilized to aid in the implementation of treatment plans and to promote empowerment for families in their ability to focus on their health and healing journey.

What is Functional Medicine?

“Functional medicine is an evolution in the practice of medicine that better addresses the healthcare needs of the 21st century. By shifting the traditional disease-centered focus of medical practice to a more patient-centered approach, functional medicine addresses the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms.”
The Institute for Functional Medicine

Providing your child and family a comprehensive approach to address concerns and optimize health and well-being.

Functional medicine practitioners spend extra time with their patients.  We listen to their histories and seek interactions among environmental, genetic and lifestyle factors that could be impacting health.  We aim to identify and address concerns in this complex matrix to promote health and seek balance, especially in children who are increasingly at risk for chronic disease.

Meet Alice

Alice founded Empowered Children’s Wellness in 2024 following an extensive program of study with the Institute of Functional Medicine and saw the need to incorporate root-cause medicine approaches to the care of her patients.

Get started with Alice, today.

“We started working with Alice right after my daughter was born. I had a high risk pregnancy and my daughter was born with multiple birth defects and Alice was immediately so validating, kind, and reassuring. She never rushes me or brushes past my concerns and she meets us where we are as human beings first. Her genuine care for our daughter is so evident. Alice goes above and beyond to send personalized recommendations, checks in anytime my daughter has had a major surgery and spends time at each appointment answering any and all questions I have. She is extremely knowledgable and her experience shows. We are forever grateful we found her and I highly recommend her care to other parents!”
