welcome, friend.

My name is Alexis and I believe that everything you need is already inside you.

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.
