Alysia J Dagrosa

FSD, BCPA

Born and bred in Brooklyn, NY Alysia grew up in a biracial household. Exposure to the rich cultures of both Southern Italy and St Vincent & the Grenadines has afforded her a unique perspective. Alysia began her lucrative career as a Pastry Chef in 2007. Along with her mother, Alysia owned her own custom cake studio servicing many clients in the NYC area and Toronto, Canada. Unfortunately, she could no longer continue pursuing her business due to her lifelong battle with endometriosis. After 20 years of suffering with the painful symptoms of endometriosis, Alysia finally pushed for better care and control of her life and finally underwent surgery in 2018. Following this experience and learning that countless women go through unnecessary suffering, Alysia decided to switch gears and began her journey of patient advocacy. In 2019, Alysia had the opportunity to speak about her experience at the Endometriosis Summit in New Jersey. Since then, Alysia has been active as a Patient Advocate in the Endo community in the US, throughout the Caribbean, the UK and Israel. In 2021, Alysia became a board-certified Patient Advocate and a Full Spectrum Doula, with expertise in multidisciplinary care, thoracic endometriosis and racial dynamics in healthcare. Today, Alysia helps folks by streamlining their search for adequate endometriosis treatment and works with birthing people to achieve the labor and delivery of their dreams.
