Meet Alexandria
Alexandria is the founder of Rested Roots Rising, with educational certifications as a 500-hour Therapeutic Yoga Teacher, Comprehensive Pilates Teacher through the BASI Method, a Level 2 Somatics Practitioner through the SATYA (Somatic Awareness Training for Yoga Attunement) Method, and a Zang-Fu Gong (Organ Cleansing Qigong) Practitioner. In addition to her formal education, Alexandria grew up training competitively as a gymnast, dancer, and cheerleader, until an autoimmune diagnosis at the age of 23 catalyzed her to embark upon her own healer’s journey.
Asking the questions “who am I?” and “what is my purpose?” spurred Alexandria in discovering layers of herself hidden behind ancestral wounding and generational trauma. She spent several years traversing her psychology by exploring many different paths of spirituality—being lead to plant medicine ceremonies in the Amazon rainforest, attuning to multiple lineages of Reiki energy healing, growing her perspectives through astrology, the Tarot, and Eastern Philosophies, living in a conscious community cohort on an island in Nicaragua, and living nomadically amongst various communities throughout the Pacific Northwest.
Alexandria’s journey of walking many spiritual paths lead her to the place she began, growing a healthy relationship with her body for healing to occur. No amount of spiritual/mental conceptualization could provide Alexandria with the feelings of stability, authentic belonging and emotional safety that she so deeply craved. Her fears of vulnerability, feelings of unworthiness and existential shame, and the intrinsic need to feel useful in some special way could not be healed through a Tarot reading or medicine ceremony, but by slowing down, listening deeply, and being with every ounce of feeling she spent her lifetime running away from.
Her path is one of integration and Whole-Self/Soul alignment. She’s tasked in this lifetime with bringing all parts of self into a loving, cohesive whole and allowing the Authentic Spirit to guide her Home. Alexandria recognizes that home is not a place, but it can be in some ways. Home is when the outer and inner worlds come to meet in a balanced harmony. The inner work matches the outer work, and the spiritual is tended to with equal devotion as the mundane. And that Alexandria’s spiritual path is one of truth through experience given back and offered forward. Sovereign, authentic, inclusive, compassionate service onto All, especially those parts yet to be discovered.
Alexandria has chosen the path of healing through movement because the body is the Home of the Soul. Without a receptive vessel, our mission on this Earth cannot be fulfilled to its highest potential. By healing the body and engaging the mind through curious self-discovery, we can unlock those fragmented and forgotten parts and remember why we chose this life. To initiate the process of survival recovery to thriving aliveness, where healing is no longer a destination, but a journey of lightening the heart.
