About Alicia....
Alicia is a Clinical Nutritionist and the founder of The Love Your Skin Program. She struggled with eczema growing up. She tried EVERY cream, ALL of the specialists, and ALL of the diets, supplements and detoxes. But would always be back at square one... struggling with another flare up.

The journey has been life-changing for her and now all of her clients.
