BodyWise Psychotherapy and Restore

Restoring wholeness with Body-Based therapy, restorative practices and simple tools for daily wellbeing.

My Offerings

In a private or semi‑private restorative class, the practice is tailored entirely to your body and your needs. Using bolsters, sand bags, blankets, blocks, and gentle hands‑on support, we create shapes that allow your nervous system to settle, your breath to deepen, and your body to release long‑held tension. This work is ideal for those navigating stress, burnout, chronic pain, or simply craving deep rest. The pace is unhurried, the space is safe, and the outcome is a renewed sense of ease and inner steadiness.

Weekly Online Hatha Yoga + BackMitra + Self Myofascial Release

This weekly online class weaves together Hatha Yoga, the BackMitra, and gentle Self‑Myofascial Release to support alignment, mobility, and deep release. With slow, mindful movement and targeted techniques, you’ll soften tension, improve posture, and create more space in your body. Each session offers accessible practices that help you unwind stress, restore balance, and reconnect with your natural ease.

Body Psychotherapy

Body Psychotherapy is a holistic, body‑centered therapeutic approach that integrates body, mind, and spirit. Its purpose is to support healing from within by restoring the natural flow of energy through the five fundamentals of our being: body, emotions, mind, will, and spirit.

Because humans are inherently psychosomatic, the body and mind cannot be separated. In this work, we use the language of the body — breath, posture, sensation, movement, and energetic expression — to address emotional patterns, trauma, and the protective layers that limit our authentic self.

Through subtle and cathartic somatic interventions, we open areas of held or blocked energy, deepen contact with your life‑force, and support a fuller experience of emotional truth. The process increases authenticity, groundedness, self‑knowledge, empowerment, and the capacity to love and be present.

This is both a therapeutic and, for many, a spiritual journey — one that invites you back into your body, your truth, and your wholeness.

    Former BackMitra Training Attendee

  • "Alexandra’s yoga for back care yoga class is nothing short of miraculous! At the completion of the class I honestly feel like my body has been transformed and I walk out of the class with a completely new body. The deep release of the muscles and realigning of the spine makes me feel taller and freer. The stiffness and pain are always dramatically reduced and in some cases completely gone.”
