I told my mom I wanted to be a pharmacist when I was 7. Twenty-three years into this career, that's still exactly what I am, and it's still what drives every room I walk into.

I'm Dr. Alisha Reed, MBA — a licensed pharmacist with over 20 years of clinical experience across retail, managed care, and hospital pharmacy. Today I practice as a clinical pharmacist practitioner, board certified in geriatrics, licensed in Louisiana and Texas.

I'm the founder of Your Self Care Prescription, LLC, and creator of the REFILL Strategy™. Everything I teach — whether to one patient or five hundred people in a room — comes back to one belief: I won't tell you what to do. I'll teach you how to decide.

Why organizations bring me in

I currently serve as the American Heart Association- Greater New Orleans Board Chair and on the board of alignED New Orleans. I founded the Louisiana Pharmaceutical Society NPhA Chapter and served as Immediate Past NPhA Zone 4 Director. I hold seats on the AHA Healthcare by Food Lived Experience Patient Advisory Board and the HealthyWomen Women's Health Advisory Panel, with past board service at the New Orleans Council on Aging, Common Ground Health Clinic, and Girls on the Run.

In 2026, I received the American Heart Association's Beverly Matheney Volunteer Service Award and the 2026 NPhA Impact Award in Health Policy.

What makes it real

I became a widowed mother at 40. I know what self-care looks like as survival, not indulgence and that lived experience is exactly why my clinical expertise lands differently in a room.
