Intuitive Health NP

 Alisa brings her background of Western medical knowledge to her strong, holistic foundation for whole-body health and wellness.  She seems to understand exactly what might be going on in my gut; she asks questions, makes suggestions, and gives me time to process very professionally and respectfully.  My favorite thing is that she supports me even when I feel like I make mistakes - she doesn't say "I told you so," or make me feel bad for wherever my progress is or isn't.  She gives all positive cheers which leaves me feeling empowered and in control.  Since working with Alisa, I have developed more awareness of my emotional states and how they impact my gut, I have built a stronger portfolio of coping skills, and I have weaned OFF of antidepressants after 25 years.  I'm so grateful that Alisa is on my team! 

 I’m so appreciative that I am able to have worked with Alisa at Intuitive Health NP and share my incredible experience. With her knowledge, experience, and training she has helped me change my life. That is not an overstatement - it’s amazing. I have been on a health journey for the last decade trying all sorts of traditional ways to make me feel better, healthier, and have more energy. Once I started working with Alisa and we worked through testing (GI Map) and implemented her RESCUE protocol, I started seeing significant changes rather quickly - in weeks and months and not years and years. In using her extensive knowledge as an NP, her clinical experience, and her functional medicine training and certification she was able to put the puzzle pieces of my health together and heal my gut- my microbiome. Once my gut was healed I felt better in so many ways- my physical and mental health improved - they say the gut is your second brain, and now I know why. I’m writing this testimonial because I strongly believe that Alisa could help so many people. It is incredible that once you heal your gut - your mental health improves- again, so so grateful to have worked with Alisa. 

In managing an autoimmune disease, there is decreased trust in your body and doctors. In a sense, you feel hopeless and just grateful to wake up each day with whatever element that day.  However, there is an inkling that you can heal yourself, but how? I was introduced to Alisa Shapiro, approximately 6 months ago and the experience felt like home. Alisa listened to me as I reported on the various symptoms I experienced, she made sense of them and did not make me feel judged. One of the symptoms, my ankles would swell, but one ankle way more than the other. Alisa provided support related to my workout regime, sleep schedule, and potentially increased cortisol levels. She recommended several vitamins and diet changes and I noticed the changes almost immediately. Additionally, Alisa offers a coaching program, which I find so helpful and amazing. The coaching program helps keep me on track and process any new symptoms or results to the test she offers in her package.  Alisa is a good-hearted person, she really cares for her clients and often processes what you discussed after the session, to curate interventions for healing. Additionally, she educates you, so that you can make healthy decisions in the future. I am truly thankful for her!
