Alicia is a Certified Professional Coach (CPC) with the International Coach Academy, an International Coach Federation (ICF) accredited affiliate – www.coachfederation.org. Her commitment to personal integrity stems from her strong leadership background gained at Regent University, where she graduated summa cum laude.

Her focus on innovation ignited several initiatives, including a healthy vending machine policy and a wholesome food meeting plan. She is also a strong advocate for targeting youth wellness education and proactively combating childhood obesity.

On a personal note, Alicia’s compassion for others prompted her volunteerism in several ministries at her church. You can also find her walking around a lake, reading, cooking, taking in a play, enjoying a cultural festival, or traveling with the love of her life, with whom she resides in the suburbs of Washington, D.C.

Alicia was supportive, thoughtful, caring and firm. The accountability piece of the coaching was needed and with her encouragement, it helped me stay focused on my goal of going back to college. With her assistance, I decided on the program and college I wanted to attend. She made me feel comfortable in discussing my goal and her suggestions were helpful. I also felt she was committed to my success. You couldnt ask for a better coach.

Alicia is a true inspiration to people with a weight problem. I know how hard it is to lose weight, but the real challenge is to significantly change your lifestyle so you keep the weight off. Over the past several years, I have struggled to keep off a 130 lbs. weight loss. Alicia has continued to support me and sets an example that I hope to one day emulate. It has been great to be able to talk to someone who understands what I go through.
