Alexa Bedingfield, MS
Alexa Bedingfield, MS, is a recent graduate of Maryland University of Integrative Health’s Human Clinical Nutrition Program. She obtained her undergraduate degree from the Pennsylvania State University in Business and began her career as a trade floor analyst for a large energy supplier. After five years in this career Alexa decided to pursue a career she was truly passionate about in the field of health and wellness.
Her first step in this journey was as an Americorps community nutrition educator for underserved families, where she developed the skills to communicate the how and why behind healthy eating choices to families with limited income and resources. After completing her term of service, she decided to pursue an advanced degree in nutrition so she could help even more people to live healthier by optimizing their diet and lifestyle.
During her time in graduate school, Alexa developed an interest in the connection between mental health and nutrition. Alexa believes that food is medicine and that a healthy relationship with food and one’s body are important pillars of mental health. Alexa guides her clients through the process of finding what is right for them specifically. When it comes to diet, there is no one size fits all approach, so she takes a unique approach with each client. Alexa is currently preparing to take the CNS exam and is working on completing the clinical hours required to become a licensed nutritionist under the supervision of the Clinician’s Incubator (TCI) self-guided internship program by December 2019. Alexa is also the co-founder of Lift Yoga + Strength, a yoga and fitness studio in downtown Baltimore, where she inspires her clients to create the strongest versions of themselves through movement and self care.
