Alyson is the office manager at Sherwood Aesthetic Medicine and leads the Holistic Health and Weight Management program. Since joining in 2017, Alyson has brought her expertise in mental health, with a Bachelor’s degree in the field, a Master’s in Integrated Recovery for Co-Occurring Disorders, and certification as a nutritionist.
With experience in medical weight loss, Alyson has seen firsthand the emotional challenges people face in their wellness journeys. This insight deepened her commitment to helping others by addressing the connections between diet, body image, emotions, and environmental influences. Alyson’s passion led her to create a program that focuses not just on weight but on understanding the emotional roots of eating habits and promoting holistic well-being.
Outside of work, Alyson enjoys reading, exploring the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest, sampling Portland’s vibrant food scene, and spending time with her daughter and two dogs.
