Hi, I’m Alexandra

Certified Holistic Nutritionist

BSc Nutrition and Dietetics

I’m Alexandra Forys, a Certified Nutritionist and Registered Holistic Nutrition Practitioner, and the founder of Fig and Field Wellness.

My path into holistic health began early, but it truly deepened nearly a decade ago when I was forced to confront my own health challenges. At the time, I was living in a way that felt profoundly out of alignment — chronically stressed, undernourished, and constantly pushing through exhaustion. Over time, my body began to speak up through persistent digestive issues, skin flare-ups, chronic fatigue, and brain fog that left me feeling disconnected from myself and my life.

Rather than accepting these symptoms as “normal,” I began searching for answers that addressed why they were happening. That journey led me to a root-cause, systems-based approach to health — one that looks at nutrition, lifestyle, stress physiology, and underlying imbalances as interconnected pieces of the same story.

This experience became the catalyst for a career shift and a deeper commitment to supporting true healing. Today, I work with individuals who feel depleted, inflamed, foggy, or stuck in cycles of stress and unresolved symptoms — helping them reconnect with their bodies and restore balance from the inside out.

Through personalized online nutrition counselling, I support clients using evidence-informed nutrition, lifestyle strategies, supplementation, and functional testing when appropriate. My work is especially focused on stress resilience, digestive health, mood and cognitive function, skin health, and mineral balance.

At Fig and Field Wellness, the goal isn’t quick fixes or symptom suppression. It’s about understanding the body’s signals, addressing root causes, and creating sustainable changes that support long-term vitality, clarity, and wellbeing.

My Services

Your symptoms are not merely inconveniences, they are messages.

My Philosophy

I believe that health is never a one-size-fits-all journey. Each of us carries our own story, our experiences, challenges, and the path that led us to where we are today. My approach is deeply individualized, taking the time to truly understand your background and the root causes behind your symptoms.

Seeking support for your health should feel empowering, not intimidating. My goal is to create a space where your questions are met with empathy, curiosity, and understanding. I’ll be there to encourage you when you need it most, offer honest guidance when it’s needed, and celebrate every milestone we reach together.

My Holistic Approach

My Holistic Approach

  • Whole Person Health Assessment

    Every system in the body is deeply interconnected, as are your thoughts, emotions, and environment. True healing begins when we look at the whole person, not just the symptoms.

  • Advanced Lab Testing

    I utilize advanced lab testing, including Tissue Mineral Tests and Gi Map Stool testing, to identify root causes to your recurring symptoms and health conditions. Together, we will determine which tests are best for you.

  • Personalized Nutrition + Lifestyle Plan

    I will take the insights gained from your health assessment and lab testing to determine the best functional nutrition plan to achieve your heath goals and support your body in the healing process. Lifestyle factors such as sleep, stress, exercise, and environment will be addressed as well.

  • Supplementation Support

    A combination of medicinal herbs and advanced nutritional supplements will assist in speeding up and supporting the healing process. The specific combination of supplements used will change throughout the process, depending on what the body needs.

If you’re feeling disconnected from your health and ready to explore a more grounded, root-cause approach, I’d love to support you. Learn more about working together.

A little more about me

  • The name Alexandra comes from the Greek words alexein (“to defend”) and aner (“man”). It feels like a quiet reminder of my purpose. To help others protect and nurture their well-being.

  • My dog Baxter is my best friend and I am not afraid to admit it! If you have a dog I would of course like to see photos, you don’t even need to ask.

  • Always seeking learning opportunities, either from courses, people around me, or nature! I truly think that if you are constantly seeking opportunities to learn, your life is that much richer and more fulfilling for it.

  • Yes, I am a Nutritionist and love healthy wholesome foods, but that doesn’t mean I don’t love a big cookie, croissant, donut, etc (it’s all about that 80/20 rule). When I am stressed, or need a mood booster, baking always seems to help.

  • Spending time outdoors recharges my spirit and keeps me grounded. In the warmer months, you’ll usually find me in the garden, out for walks with my husband and dog, up at the family cottage, or playing tennis and biking. In the winter, I trade the sunshine for the slopes and spend my time skiing. I enjoy working on my fitness through weightlifting as well because I want to be a strong and physically independent granny one day :)
