about alexandra
From a young age, I navigated the repercussions of being painfully dissociated from my body, by chasing symptoms & getting no where. Fortunately, I encountered several mentors who guided me trust the wisdom of my body. I will continue to walk this path humbly, because it is endless.
My education has been vast & deep, covering areas of mental health, women's health, pediatric care, anatomy & physiology, nutrition, integrative medicine, botany, herbal medicine, pulse & tongue diagnosis, & alternative therapies including gua sha, fire cupping, moxibustion & acupuncture. I am here to bring my breadth of experience & knowledge to serve women & their families with devotion.
Please see my current offerings page to get a full understanding of how I can serve you best. I look forward to supporting you on your path.
