At only 30 years old Alicia was seriously overweight, exhausted and dangerously ill. One day a good friend listened to her lament at her unhealthy state and boldly asked, "Alicia, what the hell are you eating?" As strange as this sounds, Alicia had really never made the connection between being disease free and eating right. A light bulb went off for her, maybe she was 100% responsible for her unhealthy state!

She started reading everything she could find on nutrition and holistic healing. She also learned to meditate and exercise regularly. Within two years she had dropped five sizes, was disease free and had become an athlete. Alicia's friends, clients and co-workers noticed the transformation and kept asking how to get healthy and lose weight. She took them to the gym and showed them how to exercise.She dutifully walked the aisles at the grocery store with them to teach them what to buy. She patiently answered questions about supplements and fad diets. None of this worked. They continued to act mystified and could not seem to implement what they had learned.They complained of no time, no energy, no money. Alicia knew in her heart these reasons had nothing to do with not being healthy.

At this point Alicia had been exploring her love for training and coaching for several years. Coaching was a new industry and like today most people did not understand what it is.

Coaching and training people revealed to her that knowledge was not enough to impact real change. We all know what to do to get healthy, yet diet books are always on the best sellers list. What people needed was a shift in perspective, a letting go of false belief. People needed healing of the mind, body and spirit. People needed to find their internal motivation, their purpose so to speak to really be healthy.

So, her first of many coaching programs to come was written and launched and Healthy Solutions became one of her passions. She has helped hundreds of women learn to love their bodies, express themselves fully and become truly healthy.

Since then Alicia has designed over one hundred programs and led training programs on a variety of topics in a variety of industries across the country.

In addition, as owner of Profit Consulting Co.  Alicia has coached managers, presidents and sales people in how to build a business truly worth having. She is thoroughly trained in neuro-linguistics, and is certified with International Coach Federation and World Association of Business Coaches. She has also been instrumental in the success of other coaches through her relentless focus on mastering the basics of the coaching skill set.

Alicia is a mother of four and grandmother of three. She is a Yoga enthusiast as well as a runner. Having spent most of her life in Texas, she currently resides in the Austin metro area.
