Begin your journey towards wellbeing with a soothing and therapeutic massage that nurtures your body and soul.
May all beings live in peace
I was born, raised, and still live on the Coast of Southern California. My quest to find meaning in life started at the tender age of 10 years old when I witnessed the
sudden death of my father, and the subsequent loss of our family home, my brother, and my mom to depression. I was on my own in the world at age 15.
It was then I discovered eastern philosophy, and the timeless teachings of yoga and Buddhism. In my late twenties I began to commit to various
formal practices. Eventually traveling the world to gain even more understanding. These teachings and practices proved invaluable as I navigated the dissolution
of my 40 year marriage. They supported me through such a trying time with love and compassion. I am a Certified Meditation Teacher from the Awareness
Training Institute in partnership with the University of California at Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center, Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach, and
currently completing an in depth 2 year Buddhist studies program at Spirit Rock Meditation Center.
My passion is sharing mindfulness, meditation, self-compassion, and to facilitate healing from loss or difficult transitions,
so that you may find your inner wisdom to live a life with more ease, peace, and joy.

At times of loss and grief, it can be challenging to feel connected and find peace within ourselves. The weight of grief can make it difficult to relax and reconnect with our inner selves. During such moments finding support through assisted relaxation techniques, like therapeutic massage, can be immensely beneficial. This holistic approach to healing not only helps individuals find physical relief, but also facilitates emotional and mental well-being.
Grief is a personal journey, never the same for any two people, and as unique as your life and your relationships. Grief is not limited to loss through death. Everytime you lose a relationship or are faced with uncertainty you grieve the loss of a predictable and safe world. You experience grief when you move to a new town, lose a job or get a divorce. You experience grief when you are diagnosed with a life changing illness or when you are seperated from a loved one by circumstance. You experience grief when you experience any change in your relationship to the world. While the intense pain of grief is temporary. You will feel better in time. However it is “how” you decide to feel better and “what” you do with your pain that can make the difference. Sameet Kumar, PH.D.
A helpful way to begin is by taking a first step towards well-being and self-care. Massage helps you by shifting you out of a stress response and into a relaxation response. After a loss, grieving individuals often find it very difficult to relax on their own. Here is where assisted relaxation through massage therapy can be of great benefit. by reducing the physical stress of grief you can become more present and begin to step into life with more acceptance, meaning and ease.

It is said in Buddhist psychology there are many ways to gain understanding, inner peace, and joy. It has been my experience that profound loss is one of these ways, as loss and grief are simply the mirror of love. When we find our way back to self-compassion and love, we find ourselves more resilient, embodied and in our life’s true expression. Alexis is committed to personally supporting you to find your unique way, so that you can experience the magic of a more mindful life.
