Meet the Team Dedicated to Your Wellbeing
Dr. Alek Gallegos
Dr. Alek Gallegos earned his Bachelor of Science in Biology, with a minor in Chemistry, from the University of New Mexico in 2018 and went on to complete his Doctorate in Naprapathic Medicine at the Southwest University of Naprapathic Medicine in 2022.
Naprapathic Medicine is a hands-on approach to restoring balance and function by addressing restrictions in the body’s connective tissue and fascia, which can impact nerves, blood flow, and lymphatic health.
Dr. Gallegos uses techniques such as myofascial release, trigger point therapy, cupping, muscle energy techniques, corrective exercise, and gentle alignment of the spine and pelvis to help patients reduce pain, improve mobility, and support natural healing.
A lifelong athlete and sports enthusiast, Dr. Gallegos knows firsthand the challenges athletes face. After overcoming his own lower back and sciatic pain from sports injuries through Naprapathic care, he developed a passion for helping others stay active, healthy, and pain-free.
Dr. Alyssa La Mendola
Dr. Alyssa La Mendola earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of New Mexico in 2022. During her undergraduate years, she worked as a chiropractic assistant, where she discovered her passion for hands-on, manual medicine. As a former volleyball player and dedicated gym-goer, Alyssa developed a strong appreciation for movement and performance, recognizing how the combination of manual therapy and intentional training can address the root of many musculoskeletal issues.
She went on to earn her Doctorate in Naprapathy from Southwest University of Naprapathic Medicine in 2025. Her approach is rooted in a whole-body perspective, using manual therapy, corrective movement, and patient education to treat pain and dysfunction at its source rather than simply managing symptoms.
Dr. La Mendola is passionate about helping others better understand their bodies and the importance of intentional movement. She believes true healing comes from a combination of hands-on care and strength, and she is committed to empowering her patients to take an active role in their health. Rooted in her faith, she views her work as a calling and strives to serve others with compassion, integrity, and purpose.

Keira Harte, Manager
Meet Keira, Manager of Brickz Health & Wellness!
Born and raised in Albuquerque, I’ve always lived an active, goal-driven lifestyle. From my early days as a ballerina and lacrosse player to recently conquering my first half-marathon in October 2024, movement has been at the heart of my journey.
As a former personal trainer at Brickz Fitness, I had the privilege of guiding others toward their fitness goals, unlocking their full potential, and fostering a love for health and strength. Now, as the Manager of Brickz Health & Wellness, I’m beyond excited to take that passion even further! I get to help incorporate holistic wellness—blending fitness, recovery, and overall well-being to create a space where people can thrive physically and mentally.
Every day, I get to be part of a community that’s redefining what it means to be strong, balanced, and resilient. Whether it’s supporting members through recovery therapies, enhancing their fitness journeys, or simply being a resource for their wellness goals, I love knowing that I play a role in their transformation.
