About Alexandra (she/her)

DSCF0441.jpg

At the foundation of this work is a deep trust and knowing that we all have the capacity to experience true wellbeing and a sense of belonging. It's our birthright.

​

During our time together, a safe space is held to support and remember this deep inner knowing. From here, we can begin to live and express from and AS this knowing. 

​

We can begin to welcome the complexities and gifts of this ever unfolding mystery called Life.

​

When this journey of self-discovery begins, we also encounter all the ways we become stuck in a sense of lack or not belonging. Together, we can investigate the outdated patterns and strategies, and begin to unwind and integrate them. Thus we can live with more ease and freedom, in the present moment...

​

The offerings provided are based on a 20 year journey of learning and living these teachings. What I share is what I know and have tested in the grit of life experience. What I've come to realize is that although each of our journey's to remembering and embodying our own truth is unique, it ultimately begins when we start to look within.

​

This work is rooted in and draws upon mindfulness and meditation, Self inquiry, applied self compassion, yoga, the expressive arts, nature therapy, trauma informed practice and contemplative neuroscience.  And, my greatest teacher continues to be Life itself.
