Meet Our Team

Alisa Rodgers

Co-Founder, CEO

Alissa has worked in the health and wellness industry her entire professional life.  From hospitals, to  medical device manufacturers to massage clinics and most recently yoga studios, her professional and personal journey has taken her through many conventional and holistic health routes.  In 2022, Alissa was diagnosed with Stage 3 Breast Cancer while 3 months pregnant.  This spurred a deep dive into functional medicine and a yearning to form a greater understanding  of the root causes of key health issues and how to take a natural and proactive approach in addressing these.  She loves sharing what she’s learned with others and empowering them with the inspiration and knowledge to take more of their health into their own hands.

Carrie Downey

Co-Founder, CBO

Carrie’s journey into functional wellness began as a mother searching for answers. After her second child developed a persistent skin rash, she discovered the hidden dangers of unnatural chemicals in everyday skincare products and processed foods. This eye-opening experience ignited a passion for learning about mitochondrial health, natural remedies, whole food diets, and the power of functional wellness. Carrie is deeply committed to helping others navigate their own health journeys by sharing the knowledge and tools she’s gained along the way. She’s thrilled to be a part of the Wave Wellness Community and to inspire others to take control of their health with simple, natural, and effective solutions.

Kara Schrinner

Board Certified Naturopath

Kara is a Board-Certified Traditional Naturopath and an E-RYT 500-hour yoga instructor with a passion for helping people achieve true balance in their health and wellness. After spending eight years in the pharmaceutical industry, she saw firsthand how conventional medicine often focuses solely on symptoms and diagnoses, neglecting the emotional and holistic components of healing. This realization inspired her to pursue certifications in health coaching and naturopathy, deepening her understanding of digestion, emotional balance, and holistic health.

Kara believes that wellness is about more than just treating physical issues—it’s about addressing the whole person. She loves connecting individuals with alternative therapies, natural remedies, and lifestyle practices that empower them to take control of their health. Whether it’s through education, essential oils, or mind-body practices, Kara is excited to support the Wave Wellness Community in their journeys toward vibrant, balanced living.
