Hey!
Welcome! I’m Alexa 👋
I help people live happier, healthier, more awesome lives.
If you knew me back in the day, you’d barely recognize me now.
I used to be…
- A pharmaceutical guinea pig (prescribed 30+ different drugs over 10 years)
- Still stuck in deep depression and anxiety
- Lost, hopeless, frustrated, and super unhealthy in mind and body
Basically, I was a mess!
But then I discovered natural and holistic health (also yoga, spirituality, energy, consciousness, organic living, and a bunch of other really cool things). I learned there are so many amazing natural ways to address physical and mental health issues, and little by little I started using them in my life. You can read the full story here if you're interested.
I completely changed my life for the better, and now I help others do the same.
So if you need it, if you want it… let me be your lighthouse. Just until you find your way home — until you find your own light.
And in the meantime, have a look around! 🤗
Fun Facts
The rail is my happy place
At concerts I mean — the barricade, the front row, whatever you want to call it — it’s my home away from home, and I’ll spend the night in line to get it!
I’ve read Harry Potter 8 times
All 7 books at least 8 times each, and I’m not capable of watching the movies without blurting out the many vast differences 😂
I own an inordinate amount of yoga leggings
I’ve allocated multiple dresser drawers to accommodate this habit
Also, I love...
... dark humor, live music, avocados, anatomy, astronomy, astrology, cosmology, typography, design, Himalayan salt lamps, the moon, the sun, the ocean, the Packers, ancient wisdom, modern wisdom, cursing in foreign languages, airplanes taking off, traveling, floating, learning, laughing, loving, and football Sunday 😁
