Alisa Vitti, Founder and Director, Certified Holistic Health Counselor, Nutrition and Lifestyle Coach, American Association of Drugless Practitioners (AADP)

Alisa comes to this practice after experiencing the many frustrating health symptoms of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and then healing herself through food and lifestyle changes. She received degrees from Johns Hopkins University and the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, where she fine-tuned her unique approach to helping women naturally correct hormonal imbalances using medicinal foods. The founder and director of Laughing Sage Wellness Group, she specializes in the areas of reproductive and hormonal health and creating real intimacy in relationships. She also dedicates time to educating other women and doctors about PCOS. An engaging speaker, Alisa has taught at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, Beth Israel Medical Practices, and Westerly Health Foods in Manhattan, and at health organizations in California, Chicago, and Boston.
