Alyx Barnett is a dedicated birthkeeper, health consultant, and community health advocate who brings a passion for full family and community wellness to Helfgott. Alyx is a passionate lifelong learner, who holds special interests in herbalism, foraging, gardening, and sustainable nutritional practices for her family as well as others. In her spare time she is usually gardening, beekeeping, or adventuring in the Appalachian mountains, usually in the form of running or cycling long distances.

Professionally, Alyx can often be found mentoring others in career development, attending ceremonial births, and coaching others to revitalize their fitness and nutritional outlooks to match their lifelong and athletic goals. She is COO at the nonprofit research foundation NourishED research foundation where she fills in as many gaps as possible as a “Jane of trades”. As a mother and midwife, Alyx is most curious about research and protocols that can advance maternal, child, and family unit health. She finds the nuanced, often “overlooked” aspects of health to be those that can potentially redirect generational wellness, and is hopeful to continue to be an advocate that everyone is deserving and capable of finding eudaimonia for themselves and their communities.
