Alexa has been studying and teaching contemplative wisdom traditions since 2010. She is currently on meditation faculty and recipient of a 2023 fellowship at Nalanda Institute for Contemplative Science, where she also graduated from the contemplative psychotherapy program. She became a certified teacher of Compassion-Based Resilience Training (CBRT) in early 2022.

Alexa uses a multidisciplinary approach when working with clients, and tailors this work to individual and/or group needs. She teaches people invaluable skills that propel them toward living dynamic, healthy, meaningful lives. These modalities can include breathing techniques, somatic work, introspection, guided meditation, individualized coaching, and building contemplative lifestyle programs. She also works in a consulting role with organizations to support their staff in cultivating mindfulness, self-care, and resilience.

Off the cushion, Alexa’s path has taken her to some intereseting places. She’s competed in big mountain ski competitions in Jackson Hole, cave-guided in Southeast Alaska, and trained several summers in contact improvisation dance on a remote island off the coast of Vancouver.

After spending a handful of years living between Dharamshala, India, and Koh Phangan, Thailand, she transitioned back to the United States. She has since supported a wide range of clients through meditation classes, workshops, research, coaching, and organizational consulting.
