Hi, I’m Alexis
And I’m so grateful to be here with you.
I never meant to set out on this path - quite the opposite. In fact, I had big plans to become the President of the World Bank one day. Life, however, had a different plan for me. As they say, “life on life’s terms.”
At 26, I had finished my masters at one of the top International Relations schools in the world, I had my dream job and a great relationship. I was also anorexic, depressed and feeling completely lost.
Here I was, with what looked like a great life from the outside, and yet something was so, so off. It wasn’t working. I had everything I had been taught to want my whole life - and it wasn’t enough. The problem was, I didn’t have a clue as to what would be enough. I was craving something without even knowing what it was.
Today, I know that what I was longing for was a home inside of myself - a place so deep, so untouched and untouchable by the outer world. I was craving the divinity that lived inside of me - that lives inside each of us. I was craving to know myself and the world in a way that I hadn’t even been taught to want, let alone do.
I realize now that what felt like the breakdown I was experiencing at 26 was actually the beginning of a completely different way of life, one lived from the inside out.
I found this home inside of myself through a deep dive into the ancient practices that for thousands of years have offered us the key to self-mastery and internal freedom. For me, these practices and modalities included yoga, meditation, life coaching & therapy, subconscious and somatic healing, Sacred Plant Medicines, and more. Since 2013, I have continued to study, train, and apprentice in many of these same modalities.
My life is now dedicated to helping others along their own personal journeys. The teachings & tools I learned along the way have deeply changed my life in a way that helps me to live better while I’m here, and my heartfelt mission is to use them to help others do the same.
