My Story
Hi there! My name is Alyssa. It’s so nice to meet you. 😀
I’m a certified group fitness instructor, meditation coach, and health blogger who has helped thousands of people experience optimal health and happiness.
But before all that, I was sick, stressed, and just generally feeling blah. I was often overwhelmed by stress and anxiety, which began to cause health issues and physical pain.
I felt helpless, lonely, and stuck in a rut. Then, everything changed.
In 2015, I discovered meditation as a powerful tool for managing stress and increasing well-being.
I joined a meditation class at Georgetown University that completely upgraded my life.
After just 30 days of daily meditation, I noticed some amazing changes:
😀 My stress and anxiety levels had reduced significantly.
❤️ My chronic pain was gone!
😀 I was sleeping through the night for the first time in 10 years
❤️ My blood pressure was back to normal and I was even losing weight
😀 I felt calmer and happier than ever before
In the past 5 years, I’ve seen meditation deliver the same incredible results to hundreds of clients. With my signature approach, you too can unlock the powerful benefits of meditation in just 10 minutes a day.
My Approach

There are a lot of so-called meditation “gurus” out there who are all about rubbing crystals and chanting “OM”. We won’t be doing any of that here.
I teach a simple approach to meditation that’s based in science to get you the quickest results. My meditation techniques are designed to:
✅ Reduce Stress
✅ Manage Anxiety
✅ Improve Sleep
✅ Increase Happiness
✅ Enhance Focus & Productivity
✅ Decrease Pain
✅ Promote Emotional & Physical Health
Together, we’ll use meditation as a tool to unlock the happiest and healthiest version of you!
How I Can Help You
Meditation is a science-based practice with many proven benefits. These benefits include reduced stress, less anxiety, better sleep, improved focus, and so much more!
Unfortunately, there are many people who meditate that never fully experience these benefits. Oftentimes, people believe they have to meditate for hours a day or rub crystals in order for meditation to “work”.
This is simply not true. Here’s the secret to unlocking the benefits of meditation quickly: consistency. You don’t need hours a day or any magical ingredients. You simply need to build a consistent practice based on a proven approach.
I’ll help you build a consistent meditation practice that gets results in just 10 minutes a day.
All the guided meditations on this site were designed with your busy schedule in mind. If you have 10 minutes, you can improve your life with meditation.

Fun Facts
If you’ve made it this far, thanks for reading! You’re seriously awesome. 🎉
Want to learn more about me? Let’s get personal. 😉 Here are some fun and completely random facts about me.
- My favorite dessert is cupcakes. 🧁 Yes it’s kind of cliche, but they’re so cute and colorful. Who can resist? Bonus fact: My favorite flavor is chocolate lava (the molten center kind) with strawberry cream cheese frosting! 🍫🍓
- Before I became a full-time blogger, I worked in public policy. I received my Master of Public Affairs from the University of Michigan (gooo Wolverines!) in 2017. I was primarily interested in public health, so I could help others become the healthiest versions of themselves. F&F allows me to continue to pursue this goal today, but on a more personal level.
- I met my husband, Garrett, in college but we didn’t get married until 9 years later! We met junior year and stayed close friends after graduation. Once we finally realized we were right for each other, we tied the knot after just 6 months of dating. 🥰 We’ve been happily married ever since!
- Garrett and I are both full time bloggers! We love it because it gives us the time, money, and freedom to travel. We recently started a second blog called Blog Come True, where we teach aspiring entrepreneurs to start their own blogs and grow their income quickly.
- My guilty pleasure? Online shopping! 👛
