When she was a child, Alexandra  found her sense of freedom with horses, in nature, and in movement. 

Growing up, horses were Alexandra's world—a space where she felt connected, alive, and fully herself. She rode competitively through her early twenties, chasing the balance of discipline and partnership that only equestrian sport can offer. But like so many riders, Alexandra experienced injuries, concussions, and the pressure to just get back. When she stepped away from riding, she didn’t know that the time apart from horses would hold so much potency and magic. 
 

During that decade away from the barn, Alexandra began a deep personal
healing journey in her 20s.  She immersed herself in yoga, breathwork,
massage therapy, and somatic trauma healing, searching for ways to
understand the patterns of fear, pain, and disconnection that were living in
her body. Through this process, she discovered how the nervous system shapes not only how we heal—but how we live, move, and connect.
 

This exploration led to the creation of her first two educational coaching programs: Embody and Breathe. 

Embody helps individuals reconnect to their physical and emotional landscape through somatic awareness, while Breathe offers therapists and facilitators the opportunity to be a certified Be Free Breathwork Facilitator. These programs became the foundation of Alexandra’s work—bridging modern neuroscience with accessible, body-based healing.
 

Alexandra eventually found her way back to horses, and when noticed she was able to ride with more presence than before, a deeper connection and awareness of her body that replaced the tension and perfectionism of the past. 
 
Alexandra is helping indvduals, women in particular, heal their relationship with themselves through movement, breathwork, and somatic coaching.

Alexandra offers specialized support in the following areas:
- anxiety, depression
- fear and disassociation
- nervous system education and somatic awareness.

Her clients are able to rebuild confidence, calm, and trust in within themselves. 
 

Alexandra’s approach is grounded in over a decade of trauma-informed,
body-based experience:
 

• 15 years as a certified yoga instructor

• 12 years as a Be Free Breathwork practitioner

• 5 years as a somatic trauma therapist

• Advanced Somatic Experiencing® training through the International
  Institute for Trauma Healing
   

Alexandra blends these practices to support clients regulate their
nervous systems, process the lingering effects of stress or trauma, and reconnect with the quiet confidence that lives beneath fear. Her sessions and programs are warm, grounded, and designed for people with real lives—those who want to show up for themselves and within their lives from a place of presence and ease.
 

She is the co-founder of Be Free Healing Center in Fort Collins, Colorado, and the author of Somatic Practices for Equestrians: Healing Equestrian Injury, Accident, and Concussions. Alexandra is also a devoted mother of two human boys, a boy dog, a boy cat, and a GIRL horse. Her name is Peanut!
