Meet Your Providers at
Boone Heart & Wellness

After many years in a traditional medical practice, Dr. Alessi made the decision to follow her passion for integrative medicine, a dynamic and patient-centered model that reconnects the provider and patient in meaningful ways. Her mission is to bring medicine back to its roots by reestablishing the healing power of the doctor and patient relationship. She believes this relationship is often the true gateway to healing and that every individual has the innate ability to restore their health when equipped with the right tools and support.

​

Dr. Alessi approaches care with the understanding that everyone has a unique story and that most people, even those who feel healthy, carry imbalances. These imbalances can be nutritional, emotional, structural, functional, or spiritual. Her philosophy centers around the idea of the reset, where patients are invited to pause, recalibrate, and prevent chronic disease by addressing those imbalances directly.

​

She believes the best care comes from truly knowing her patients, understanding who they are, where they come from, and where they want to go. This process takes time, and she is committed to giving that time to each person she serves. She values mutual respect and collaboration over the outdated model of the doctor in the ivory tower, choosing instead to work alongside patients in a way that is individualized, informed, and empowering.

Dr. Alessi also emphasizes that we are all biochemically unique. Genetics play a role, but they are only part of the picture. Environment, nutrition, emotions, lifestyle, and exposure all influence how genes are expressed. In her view, the idea that one treatment or one pill fits all is not only unrealistic but potentially harmful.

​

Her greatest goal is to help patients feel truly empowered in their health. To her, real health is not just the absence of disease. It is a dynamic and ongoing process that requires daily attention and care and results in lasting vitality.
