Chief Badass
Leader of the Wellness Posse

Alli Waddell’s expertise in the wellness industry comes from 16 years exploring what empowers people to create and maintain healthy and happy lifestyles.

Through her own process of self healing, self testing and self love, she has discovered that there’s not a singular path to living a healthy life. Each path is unique to each person and personal transformation is a lifelong, vulnerable pursuit.

Alli supports her clients in creating their unique “Lifestyle Ecosystem”. This signature process takes the confusion out of optimizing mental, nutritional and physical health, while loving life and having fun.

As a coach, mentor, speaker and the Business Director at Illumma, Austin’s Premier Ketamine Infusion Clinic, her mission is to be a lifeline of empowerment. She stands for radical honesty and self love, and believes that “only when we heal ourselves can we heal the world”

Motivationalist / Wellness Guide / Coach

I am passionate about helping others enhance their self awareness.

Working in the administration branch of the healthcare field since 2000 I have had the honor of meeting some amazing people who are attempting to manage a lifelong illness or debilitating conditions with medication. I have also lost loved ones due to medical conditions that could have been avoided had they been guided.

It is my goal to assist others in finding ways to manage their conditions by using a holistic approach when possible. Helping them to see that they can put pieces together with refocused energy and tapping into their inner strength.

Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine

I was born and raised in Argentina. There, patients call doctors by their first name and the interaction is strictly between physician and patient. As I went through medical school, I realized my childhood encounters with my doctor shaped me as a future physician.

I have a passion for family medicine because I have developed an understanding for patient advocacy and I believe improving patient quality of care is an integral part of family medicine. Medicine intertwines my passion for medically caring for people with my passion for the arts.

In 2003, a year after moving to the United States, I began taking belly dancing lessons in Miami. With dedication, my progress was speedy. On my first show, two years after being introduced to belly dancing, I danced with the sword and veil. Soon thereafter, I learned to dance with the candelabrum, cane, and cymbals. To reward my self-discipline, my instructor gave me her own sword and cane as presents. I have been teaching belly dancing since and even have an upcoming workshop, possibly in August. My artistic side helps me remain human.

I believe practicing medicine is not just about knowing human physiology, but also about applying interpersonal and intrapersonal skills to help people heal emotionally as well as physically.

I am a published Kindle writer, with another book in the works. I also crossfit 5 times per week and practice yoga twice weekly. I love hiking and paddleboarding. My dog, Shaggy, enjoys the latter two as well.

My medical practice focuses on osteopathic manipulative medicine as well as natural supplementation to a balanced diet. Since getting my eat to perform nutrition certification, I have also started counseling patients on weight loss through macro-nutrient counting or intuitive eating.

I have an energy, sports, and nutrition supplements business, as well as a blog for recipes for busy people (among other things).

I am a self-proclaimed “jack of all trades” and believe in the intrinsic healing abilities of the body to help my patients thrive.
