The Migraine Coaching Signature Program Opens Summer 2024
I’m Dr. Alison Alford and I struggle too..
Hi, I am Dr. Alison Alford, a long-time migraine warrior and headache specialist located in Richmond, Virginia. I have been treating children and young adults with migraines, headaches, and concussions in my own practice for the past 8 years and in the Richmond area for over a decade. Medications can be great and helpful when they are needed but there are so many other ways to take back control of our lives to limit our migraines. Join Mastering Migraine: Wellness Coaching Program, and we will develop a unique plan to tackle your triggers and improve your wellness so that migraines are a thing of the past.I created Mastering Migraine: Wellness Coaching Program after spending years in the standard medical space and seeing patients of all ages struggle to get control of their migraines within the typical treatment options. I knew we could make
clients feel better without drowning them in medications, without numbing them with side effects, and without filling their bodies with chemicals. Those therapies have their place and are great when needed, but why not use both? I want Mastering Migraine to create balance and wellness in our clients in a way that minimizes their pain and maximizes their health by addressing multiple areas of overall well-being including nutrition, physical fitness, and emotional wellness.

What is Migraine Coaching?
You may have heard of coaching for business executives, athletes, and weight loss; but coaching for migraines? Yes! Migraines can be greatly impacted by so many aspects of our lives from hydration to nutrition to sleep. Migraine coaching is here to help you dig deeper into those factors to gain better control naturally over your migraines and headaches. Migraine coaching can develop an individualized, in-depth plan to address those factors in your life that contribute to the frequency of your migraines. You will work one on one with your coach to identify your top triggers. Then you will develop a plan to conquer them step by step so you are not overwhelmed with the life changes. Coaching is not here to replace your neurologist but to work together to address both sides of wellness and allow the medication to work or even be reduced. Migraine coaching is the secret weapon to treating your entire person not just your migraines. Migraine coaching is the final key to your success.
Our Program
Mastering Migraine: Wellness Coaching Program is designed to get at the core of your wellness and address the deficiencies that are leading to more migraines and more disability. We are able to dive deep into holistic and natural remedies that are not able to be addressed fully in an office visit with your headache specialist. The program is run by a board-certified physician who has an additional certification in headache medicine, a certification in nutrition coaching, and experience in being a migraine warrior. When I say I understand, I really mean it in all the sense of the words. I am looking to help motivated children, teens, and young adults recognize and manage their triggers so that they can get back to a headache, and hopefully medication, free life. In Mastering Migraine, we are able to address the whole person while working with your neurologist to optimize your response to our treatment plan. We focus on you as a whole person, not just your headaches, and balancing all of these aspects of your wellness will lead to better health and longevity. I will be there during the entire journey to guide you and support you to better days and less migraines. I will help hold you accountable as you form these new habits leading to better success. We will discuss nutrition, hydration, sleep, exercise, and yes, stress, all in the hopes of optimizing you to be the best version of yourself.

What is Migraine Coaching?
You want to pick a coach that gets you, a coach that understands what is like living with migraine. I started having migraines when I began medical school. Not surprisingly, stress is a trigger for me. So, that trigger was a little obvious, but I have spent years changing and monitoring my wellness goals to try to identify others. Being a headache specialist has helped me know what to look for and now it can help me help you. I often tell patients who worry about how to describe their migraines that there is nothing I haven’t heard. I understand how it feels, even those signs that can be very difficult to encapsulate into words. We will work to control your headaches thru behavioral changes and natural remedies to get you back your full lives but in a way that works for your lifestyle. We will work to find options and ideas that work for you and that are sustainable with your goals. You are going to get someone who wants to see you succeed and celebrate every small win!
