Hi! I’m Alia! I am an exercise therapist and POTS coach who is passionate about helping people with chronic illness, particularly POTS (and its many comorbidities), manage their symptoms, get back to doing things they love, and overall feel confident and capable in their bodies again! I was diagnosed with ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence in high school, but was only diagnosed with autism recently, in September of 2024, and having this knowledge about myself has been nothing short of life changing. My husband, 3 dogs, and I live full-time in our RV and when I’m not supporting my clients or engaging with my community, I enjoy exploring the natural wonders this county has to offer, lifting, running, hiking, reading, and crocheting!
