Alessandra Miele, IFNCP, FMCHC, NBC-HWC is an Integrative & Functional Health Practitioner and Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach who helps families understand the why behind their child’s symptoms and begin making changes that support healing and improved function. Having walked this path with her own child, she now dedicates herself to guiding and supporting other families. She helps parents connect the dots between symptoms, nutrition, gut health, environment, lifestyle, and the changes that may best support their child.
Alessandra helps families take the first steps in understanding and addressing their child’s symptoms, often using functional lab insights to help reveal underlying imbalances and identify where to focus first. From there, she helps create a clear, individualized strategy that evolves in collaboration with healthcare providers to keep care cohesive and well-supported.
Her passion is helping families navigate a functional medicine approach to autism and related challenges, including ADHD, anxiety, sensory sensitivities, and developmental delays—even without a diagnosis—using an individualized, root-cause framework.
Having also navigated her own journey with hormonal imbalance, nervous system dysregulation, mold exposure, and chronic symptom patterns, Alessandra has developed a strong interest in supporting women dealing with hormonal imbalances, perimenopause, weight management challenges, POTS and long COVID symptoms, mold toxicity, heavy metal burden, and the broader implications these imbalances can have on overall health and function.
Her approach is inspired by Dr. Sidney Baker, whose focus on the body’s natural capacity to heal—and the thoughtful use of biomedical interventions and detoxification—guided her own family’s recovery journey and continues to inform her work today.
Born in Italy and having moved to the U.S. as a teenager, Alessandra understands how cultural traditions, family dynamics, and communication styles influence health choices. Before entering functional health coaching, she founded and owned a boutique yoga and Pilates studio in downtown Boston. That experience, together with her ongoing mind–body practices, shapes her steady, grounded approach focused on sustainable change and practical steps that last.
Committed to ongoing learning and collaboration, Alessandra continues her professional development in Functional and Translational Pediatrics through the Medical Academy of Pediatric Special Needs (MAPS) and Autism Mastery coursework. She also serves as a Health Coach for Documenting Hope’s FLIGHT–Autism Study, supporting participating families as part of its whole-child research initiative. These experiences allow her to continually deepen her knowledge while providing families with support that is thoughtful, current, and practical.
I’d be honored to support your family as you take the next step in your child’s healing journey.
