Innocent Indulgence began with a little girl in footie pajamas who loved to bake. From standing on a chair just to reach the counter, Alisha’s love of chocolate blossomed into a passion for health and wellness. She earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in nutrition from the University of Arizona and Arizona State University, and holds credentials as a certified nutrition specialist, registered dietitian, and associate raw foods chef.

With over 22 years in the nutrition field, Alisha has experienced a wide variety of professional settings: internal medicine, addiction recovery, behavioral health, dialysis, comprehensive cancer-care, and food production (as creator of Innocent Indulgence’s dessert line). Working in both 1:1 and group classes, she’s seen first-hand the real-life impact of nutrition and lifestyle on short and long-term health, as well as its power to bring healing, recovery and wellness.

Most importantly, Alisha’s own journey of persistent health issues (chronic fatigue, food allergies, indigestion, and cystic acne) brought her face-to-face with the reality of “what really is health?” She explored traditional, alternative, and complementary medicine practices, and experimented with every kind of “free” diet, vegan and raw foods, juicing, cleansing, supplements, and more. She soon discovered that true health and wholeness come from making choices on every level—physical, emotional, and spiritual. Through her own lifestyle changes, a heart-and-mindset-(emotion) makeover, and a personal, spiritual revival, she experienced a healing transformation.

You can catch Alisha’s story in her book Taste Radiant Living – 7 Simple and Delicious Secrets for Eating and Well-being, as well as a wealth of information and some of her favorite recipes from her journey.

Alisha is passionate about helping you nourish your dreams to life. She loves sharing with others the wellness and healing nutrition and lifestyle secrets she’s learned with a fun, meaningful, inspirational style.

Alisha now enjoys clear skin, lots of energy and eating balanced, clean, and food-allergy free. She loves being outdoors, dabbling with watercolors, snapping flower photos, “dirt therapy” (gardening), sipping coffee (and tea), and spending time with family and friends.
