MEET ALESSIA MARIA

Hi, I’m Alessia Maria! I am currently a neuroscience and economics student at a university in Minnesota, fueled by my love for self-improvement, plants, and building my goals.

At the age of 15, I developed an autoimmune illness that began attacking my brain. For a year, I suffered from severe depression and anxiety, and behavioral regressions, quickly becoming non-functional. Throughout that year I learned many coping methods and completely shifted my mindset in life. Since then, I have become grateful for the experience, though painful, as it has taught me to love life in a completely new way. 

These days, you’ll often find me with a cup of tea (or coffee) in hand, a journal nearby, and an open mindset. If you’re interested in learning more about Eunoia, keep reading! I’m excited to connect with you, and please don’t hesitate to reach out.

At Eunoia, we are a community of like-minded people working to build the life we love based on authenticity.

2021

Started a website

I decided to share my experience with PANDAS Disorder, though I initially had no clear direction. In 2021, I launched my website, which began without a name, to start this journey of sharing and support.

 

2022

Launched Eunoia

At first, Eunoia was a blog only! I had no idea what I was doing but I knew my goals. 

2023

launched the podcast

I launched the podcast with no real path in mind. Now here I am and it’s taught me more than ever!

 

2023

Eunoia is officially declared an LLC

Here we are now, the beginning of a new era of Eunoia! So excited to share this with you all!
