Hi, I’m Alicia
Owner & Founder of Empowered Within
Let me tell you my journey.
For years, I was everything for everyone else. Showed up strong at work, at home, for my family and for my friends — and honestly? I was good at it. On paper, I had it together. But underneath all that "I'm fine," I was exhausted, overwhelmed, and running on fumes and sheer willpower.
Then everything fell apart — all at once.
I lost my job. People disappeared from my life.
Sound familiar?
I was left with a question I'd been avoiding my whole life: Who am I when no one is watching?
Spoiler: I didn't love the silence at first. But that's where I found the answer — or rather, remembered it.
The answer was within me the whole time. I simply had to find my power within.
No one could take it. Not the job loss. Not the betrayal. Not the systems that tried to convince me I needed their approval to matter. No outside circumstance could define it. It was time to say yes to myself.
Through spiritual practice, therapy, coaching, and my own journey with anxiety, depression, and neurodivergence, I discovered what I now help other women remember: Joy, peace, and power come from within. Your body and soul already know. It's your mind that needs to catch up — and that's exactly where we start.
That’s why I created Empowered Within.
This is what I offer you.
I am a connector and a healer at my core — not in the clinical sense, but in the truest sense. I show up in every session as a thinking partner with lived wisdom, holding the gift of presence so you can finally hear yourself clearly.
I don't tell you what to do. I never have. I draw on my own journey to let you know you're not alone — and then I ask the questions that help you find your own truth. Because the answers you're looking for? They're already inside you. You just need someone to hold space while you find them.
My job isn't to fix you — because you're not broken. Together we create a deep and intentional mind, body, and spirit connection to assist you in gaining greater clarity on your next step — so you can find healing through connecting where you've been, where you are, to who you want to become.
Real change requires mind, body, and inner spirit co-creating together.
You are not broken. You are not behind. You are remembering.
You don't have to have it figured out to show up. All you need to bring is an open heart.
Wherever you are is exactly the right place to start.
Beyond the Work
In my free time (yes, I take some!), you’ll find me:
Spoiling my Boston Terrier (who is my constant office companion)
Cheering way too loudly for the Tennessee Vols (Go Vols!)
Savoring a good glass of wine with great conversation
Laughing with friends until my face hurts and my abs accidentally worked out.
Because the journey isn't all deep breaths and journal prompts — it also looks like joy, rest, and the moments that remind you this is what you're building toward.
The title tells her what she does.
Your presence tells her who you are.
She'll book the session because of the first. She'll come back because of the second.
I'm here for both.
