Behind Health Compass Nutraceuticals

---

Welcome, I’m Midwife Alyssa.

I’m a Licensed Midwife, women’s health educator, clinical instructor, researcher, and author, as well as the founder of Health Compass Nutraceuticals. For nearly two decades, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside women and families through some of life’s biggest transitions, from fertility and pregnancy to postpartum recovery, hormone health, and the changes that come with aging.

My years in midwifery have taught me to look at health a little differently. Rather than simply asking what is wrong, I’m interested in understanding what the body needs and how we can thoughtfully support it. That perspective has shaped both my clinical work and the way I approach nutrition and supplementation.

Like many healthcare providers, I spent years looking for supplements I could confidently recommend to my clients and feel good about using with my own family. Too often, I found products with unnecessary additives, poorly absorbed forms of nutrients, misleading labels, or ingredients that simply didn’t meet the standards I was looking for.

In 2015, I decided to create something different.

What began as a small collection of organic herbal tinctures and teas has grown into Health Compass Nutraceuticals, with more than 40 professional-grade products used by families and healthcare providers across the United States and Mexico. 

Our primary focus is supporting women throughout every stage of life, including fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause. We also offer thoughtfully formulated products for men and children because good nutrition and wellness matter to the whole family. If a product carries the Health Compass name, it is something I would feel comfortable recommending to someone I love.

My work has continued to evolve beyond clinical practice and product development. I’ve taught and mentored medical students and healthcare professionals in areas of maternal health and lactation, and I’ve served as a Women’s Health Instructor and Clinical Preceptor for graduate PA students at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine.

I’m also conducting original research exploring professional culture, relationships, and the systems that influence the wellbeing of healthcare providers and the care they are able to give. I’m the author of For Those That Walk Between Worlds and continue to write and teach at the intersection of midwifery, healthcare, and professional culture.

Outside of my professional work, I’m married to my soulmate, a mother of four, mother-in-law, and grandmother of two. My family has shaped the way I think about health more than any credential ever could. They continue to influence how I approach wellness, caregiving, and the products we create.

Thank you for being here. It is an honor to support you and your family’s health journey.

With gratitude,

Midwife Alyssa
