Does this sound like you?

Something Needs to Change.
You’re looking to experience profound, life-changing growth rather than simply achieving a single short-term objective. You may want more balance and better boundaries, without overwhelm, chaos and stress, instead of feeling depleted and exhausted all the time.

It’s Time to Take Care of Yourself.
Instead of taking care of everyone else, it’s time to take care of you. Maybe you’re hoping to change some undesirable habits and begin healthy ones that you know deep down will serve you well. It may be time to live in alignment with your true nature, authentic self and have more joy.

You’re Feeling Stuck.
You might be going through a challenging time professionally or personally and have a strong intention to find your footing again. It’s normal to lose your equilibrium sometimes and a coaching relationship can help you find your way.

I can help you to explore the areas of your life where you feel stuck and support you to discover new ways to achieve your desired outcomes. Even if you think you don’t have time, we can find it together.

You Know You Need Support.
All of us have the capacity to achieve vitality, purpose and meaning in life—without overwhelm. I also know this doesn’t happen overnight and that each of us can reach our future vision in the time that feels right for us.

I know from personal experience and work with clients, that “base hits equal home runs” and that each step in the direction of our vision is one step closer to our intentions.

I Can Help You . . .

Get to know the parts of yourself that are holding you back, learn how to work with it, and create balance.
Reduce overwhelm in your personal or professional life (or both).
Create the time to engage in things that bring you joy.
Enjoy new habits you know support your best self and reduce the ones that don’t serve you well anymore.
Work on restoring your health and well-being.
Eat healthy, sleep soundly, move more and stress less.
Increase self-awareness.
Live mindfully and discover what matters most to you.
Identify character strengths and values that guide more meaning, alignment, and presence day-to-day.
Live a life you love every day.

What Clients Are Saying

DARCEY

Working with Carla was a critical component on my health restoration journey. Over the last year I have completely transformed and improved my life. I no longer feel the level of anxiety and agitation I felt before, I have learned so much about my relationship with food and how what I choose impacts how my body operates. I now understand the complex and yet so simple connection between the brain and the body. Carla is an incredibly present and empathetic coach, and she has a beautiful ability to lovingly challenge stuck beliefs. One of my favorite aspects of working with Carla was her intuitive and attuned nature.

BILLIE

Carla is amazing. She literally gave my daughter her life back! After many doctors failed us, Carla came in and listened, used her expertise to design a treatment plan and stood side-by-side with my daughter every step along the way. My daughter has her health back. I can’t even begin to think where we would be right now without her. Thank you Carla!

VICTORIA

Carla really helped me to figure out my gut pain and issues after so many years. I finally feel like I have energy and clarity around my health! She was so easy to talk to and helped me discover problem areas that were causing me so much distress, when no other doctors could help.

KALYN

Well Humans changed my life. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis accompanied by chronic hives. It sprang up out of nowhere and caused bizarre "food allergies" that I'd never had before. Because of Carla's coaching and dietary recommendations as well as GI Map testing, I can happily say that I am now symptom-free, and I have been in remission for over a year now. All of the doctors I saw told me I would have to deal with my symptoms because there was no cure, but here I am, back to living a mostly normal life. I highly recommend Carla and Well Humans for anyone looking for real answers and treatments that work.

BETH

When working with Carla, you are in capable, compassionate, knowledgeable and caring hands. Carla truly cares about your well being and wants to help you be the healthiest that you can be. My health was truly suffering and with her guidance and suggested testing, we uncovered some issues that nobody else had uncovered, despite my going to some of the top rated medical institutions. My health and pain improved greatly due to Carla's sleuthing...she knew where to look. Through many health challenges, I was quite emotional and Carla showed me what compassion looks like. If you want to truly improve your health, start with Well Humans.

JON

Over years, I've tried various "alternative" medicine as well as conventional "western" medicine approaches. Skin ailments are hard to treat - so many aspects of a life can produce skin symptoms. I enthusiastically recommend Well Humans and Carla for a simple reason - I've experienced sustained, substantial improvement! I have hardly ever posted a review of anything, but writing this was an easy choice to make. I wish you all the best in your journey towards better health!

LISA

I searched the U.S. to find someone who does what Carla does. Carla has used her knowledge, support and expertise to optimize my health and well-being with a blend of scientific medical tests, supplements and diet changes. I wasted a lot of time on my hunches, the internet and experiments with supplements and food and NOW i have an actual plan. Superb supportive knowledge and guidance. I highly recommend Carla. Grateful.

ROB

I never knew that I had a gluten allergy and intolerance until Carla discovered it in my blood work! I'm so grateful that she made this discovery and I have been gluten free ever since. I sleep better, don't feel bloated and have much more energy. It was a life-changing insight.

ALLISON

Carla is very knowledgeable and kind. She helped me navigate a health issue with grace and the utmost care. Carla goes above and beyond with her clients and I highly recommend her. She genuinely cares!

PAMELA

Working with Carla confirms that there are professionals that truly care about their clients and are determined to get to the 'root cause' of our health challenges. Carla IS that professional. She has brought me light when all I saw was darkness. Testing, taking the right supplements and introducing me to new holistic practices helps me stay on the path to wellness. With that said, I am grateful. I'm thankful she is with me on my journey to better health.

BRENDA

The privilege of working with Carla Alpert is a lasting gift! She truly hears you and is concerned for your overall health as well as your nutrition. Carla offered helpful insights in navigating everyday nutritional challenges. Did I mention that she is a great listener?

JANEL

Gained new tools to manage stress - the primary challenge in my health journey! As a clinician, while I'm often focused on specific targets, Carla was excellent at looking at the bigger picture and identifying health aspects which you may be missing. She quickly and accurately assessed my high stress level and re-focused my efforts where they were needed. She is a well-rounded provider who is patient, excellent at listening, and there is no question how much she cares about her patients. Highly recommend you connect with this provider and have the opportunity to learn from her and improve your health journey. Don't delay - you are worth it!

Transformational wellness coaching is a holistic approach to personal development that helps individuals achieve lasting change in their overall well-being.

Unlike traditional coaching, which often focuses on specific goals like losing weight or improving fitness, transformational wellness coaching addresses deeper issues, including mindset, emotional health, spiritual growth, and lifestyle habits. It aims to create lasting shifts in an individual’s life by focusing on the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.

Key Elements of Transformational Wellness Coaching:

Holistic Approach: Coaches focus on multiple aspects of life, such as physical health, mental clarity, emotional resilience, and spiritual connection. The goal is to harmonize all areas of life to create balance and wellness.
Self-Awareness: Clients are guided to deepen their understanding of themselves, uncovering limiting beliefs, values, and patterns that may be hindering their growth.
Mindset Shifts: Transformational coaching focuses heavily on shifting mindset. Clients work on overcoming self-doubt, fear, and other mental barriers to unlock their potential and achieve sustainable change.
Emotional Healing: A key focus is often on emotional well-being, helping clients to process and heal past trauma or emotional blockages that impact their present.
Personal Growth: The ultimate goal is personal transformation, where clients experience growth not just in achieving specific goals but in how they relate to themselves, others, and the world.
Sustainable Lifestyle Changes: Unlike quick fixes, this approach encourages long-term lifestyle changes that promote lasting well-being, such as integrating mindfulness practices, better nutrition, and positive habits into daily life.
Empowerment: The process is designed to empower individuals to take control of their lives and make conscious, aligned decisions that promote health, happiness, and success.

Techniques Used:

Mindfulness and Meditation: To help clients gain clarity and reduce stress.
Internal Family Systems Techniques (IFS): To bring awareness to the different parts of us, and help individuals address and integrate these parts to achieve a balanced and healthy internal dialog.
Trauma-informed HeartMath Techniques: To provide stress-reduction tools that support emotional balance.
Nuero Affective Relational Model (NARM): To encourage clients to reconnect with their own agency and reclaim their sense of choice, strength and self-determination.
Cognitive Behavioral Techniques (CBT): To shift limiting thoughts and behaviors.
Goal Setting and Visualization: For creating a clear path to the desired transformation.
Somatic Practices: For integrating mind-body awareness and healing.

This type of coaching is ideal for individuals looking to experience profound, life-changing growth rather than simply achieving a single short-term objective.

Hi. I’m Carla Alpert, National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach

My health journey started at six years old and continued until I found support in various ways like immersing myself in learning, becoming my own advocate, trauma therapy, coaching, and through functional medicine.

The short version of my story is that early on, I struggled with my digestion on and off. It got worse over the years and I experienced chronic and debilitating symptoms, that sometimes left me unable to go out of the house. These chronic symptoms started to take over my life.

On top of this, I developed many survival strategies to help me cope with growing up in an unstable environment. The physical symptoms and survival strategies created a lot of dysregulation in my nervous system, creating overwhelm and anxiety that I carried into adulthood as well. This showed up as perfectionism, over-working, people pleasing, lack of boundaries and chronic physical symptoms.

As I began to heal, I wanted to help others do the same so I pursued studies in Functional Medicine, wellness coaching and trauma-informed modalities. I love to learn and I’m still a work in progress, but my proudest accomplishment is my curiosity and commitment to my own self-growth even when it takes a lot of courage. I know what it’s like to have a broken spirit and poor health and to feel isolated and afraid. I also know what it feels like to heal and live life fully again. This is my wish for you.

“I know the power of functional medicine and lifestyle change to regain one’s life. This is why I am so passionate about standing side-by-side with my clients to help them stop struggling so they can start living their best life again too.”
—Carla Alpert, NBC-HWC, FMCHC, FDN-P, NARM and IFS Trauma-informed
