About Alex
A creator and sustainer of sacred spaces, one could say that I share a way of living and relating harmoniously — offering hands-on healing, embodiment practices, rituals, ceremonies and rites of passage that can support the restoration and embodiment of a truer, fuller you. My intention is to support the reorientation of your humanity in harmony and balance with Earth & Spirit.
I’m interested in anything that engenders a deeper connection with Life, which is the common thread between all of my offerings, studies and practices.
It seems that I came into this world dancing - I devoted the first 27 years of my life to dance as my deepest passion and primary mode of expression. I have since been guided upon a spirit-led path of deep study and personal healing, which led me on a pilgrimage of remembrance across the world. I have been teaching yoga with a focus on the subtle bodies via Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra for over a decade and am a certified Yoga Therapist by the Government of India.
During a visit to Taos pueblo in 2019, I was initiated into a deep apprenticeship with the elemental realms and have since been honored to study with many incredible teachers, indigenous elders and way-showers that are helping me to more deeply understand & remember what it is to be fully human.
I am currently a devoted student of Liv Mokai Wheeler and the Kontomble, my teachers and guides in shamanic ritual, ceremonial arts & ancestral remembrance. I am also a practitioner of the internal martial arts under Brea Fisher’s Quan Yin Gongfu/Eagle Claw Turning Style lineage, and am walking the path of Cha Dao, or "the Way of Tea", through which I am remembering the ancient ways through stillness, silence, zen and Tea.
I am humbled to be a student on the Red Road of Life, el camino de flor y canto, remembering my way home with the support of Mexica & Lakota elders and community in prayer.
I am also very excited to share that I am beginning to reclaim hands-on healing work — a big piece of my medicine— and am now sharing healing space with body work where I am able to weave my embodied wisdom and knowledge of the shamanic arts with Craniosacral, myofascial release techniques and energy work.
Forever a student of Life, my apprenticeship with the Earth continues to unfold each day. I’ve been especially loving building deeper relationship with the tree nation through the creation of the Tree Temple Apothecary, sharing tea ceremonies, earth-honoring rituals and encouraging others into deep listening spaces through the drum and voice to hear the heartbeat of the Mother within.
At the heart of my life and work is an anchor of intention that all of my thoughts, words & actions be in service to the harmony, healing and restoration of peace & balance on Earth.

My Holy Trinity of Intention
Honoring
Learning how to bow is the door that opens our hearts to the world. My primary intention is to teach and share in a way that honors our ancestors, my teachers, my teacher’s teachers, all sentient Life and the Wise One within each of us.
Listening
Deep listening practices are the bedrock of an authentic relationship with Life. I lead by embodying receptivity and humility, way-showing a path that prioritizes deep listening to the wisdom inherent within all life-forms, seen & unseen.
Integrity
If embodiment is the process of integrating what we glean from our practices, then integrity is the most aligned embodied expression of what we learn along the way. It is my deepest intention to continue to walk my talk, embodying the path as I walk it.
I’d be honored to help you find your natural rhythm. Let’s set up a connection call to see what alignment we share.

Photography & Marketing Counsel
To be a photographer is to bear witness to the great unfolding. To be the eyes that see the essence and spirit of each individual. In taking these photographs, I enter into relationship with the one being expressed. It humbles me into total and complete presence with the here and now and the gift is that the present moment lives beyond time in a single photograph. We are all living in this grand mystery of life and I am honored with the responsibility to share timelessness.
As marketing counselor, I utilize the same gift of seeing by tapping into how we as humans receive information through photos, words, and feeling. My style of marketing is to allow the guest to enter into a space that feels like a welcoming home.
My prayer is that we all continue to see the beauty before our eyes and share in the splendor of impermanence.
