Spiritual Health
Leader Bio
Answering a deeper calling, Alissa stepped away from executive leadership in 2022 to pursue work at the intersection of health, technology, and the sacred. At Emory University, she undertook advanced study in Neurotheology and Public Health, where she founded Tapfer—the first telehealth platform designed to deliver spiritual direction and chaplaincy care through predictive, human-centered technology.
Bridging neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and faith, Tapfer reimagined emotional and spiritual support for the modern healthcare landscape, earning recognition from Emory’s Hatchery Center for Innovation, the Center for AI and Humanity, and the Atlanta Business Chronicle, which named it a Top 25 Startup to Watch.
Building on this foundation, Alissa went on to co-found unafraid.ai, an emotional intelligence and resilience platform designed as a digital companion to support inner steadiness, reflection, and courage. Rooted in both science and spirituality, unafraid.ai extends her lifelong commitment to cultivating emotional resilience and human flourishing in an increasingly complex world.
Human systems are designed for resilience, when guided with care.

Bioperformance Advisory
AURUM Health
AURUM Health is a private bioperformance advisory firm devoted to longevity, resilience, and human optimization. Our work integrates principles from longevity medicine, systems biology, and applied biohacking to support sustained vitality across the lifespan.
We operate through an advisory model—interpreting advanced diagnostics, identifying high-leverage biological interventions, and designing strategies that evolve with the individual. Rather than protocols or quick fixes, we offer thoughtful stewardship of health, performance, and recovery—grounded in precision, discretion, and long-term outcomes.
This offering is designed for individuals who seek more than “within range,” and who understand that excellence in life requires excellence in health.
Spiritual Health
The Neurotheology Method™ & Integrative Medicine
Alissa’s spiritual health practice is rooted in neurotheology—the study of how the brain, belief, meaning, and consciousness interact—and informed by integrative and contemplative medicine.
We support emotional resilience, inner coherence, and purpose through a science-guided yet deeply humane approach. Drawing from neuroscience, spiritual intelligence, contemplative traditions, and integrative health, this work addresses the often-overlooked interior dimensions of well-being: stress, anxiety, identity, grief, discernment, and meaning.
This offering is not prescriptive or dogmatic. It is designed to cultivate clarity, steadiness, and agency—supporting the whole person as they navigate complexity, leadership, and change.
