What happens in your body didn't start in your mind

It won’t resolve there either. But it can change. That’s what this work is for.

Guest Lecturer at

Your body has been telling you something is off

Maybe it’s tension that won’t let go, pain that doesn’t have a clear cause, sleep that never quite restores you, or a gut that seems to have a mind of its own. You’ve tried what made sense. Some of it helped. But the physical piece hasn’t shifted.

That’s not because you’re doing something wrong. It’s because the body often needs to be addressed on its own terms. What is happening is physiological, and it responds to work that meets it there.

Meet Alex

I help individuals address trauma patterns, break free from repetitive conflicts, and build deep, lasting connections with themselves and their environment. With over 5 years of experience in body-based trauma recovery, I’ve worked with clients across Canada and internationally — online and in-person in Toronto and the GTA.

There are so many things I can say about our work together, but first and foremost it's your compassion, your patience, and your understanding that really comes to mind. I'm a person with CPTSD who has some VERY stuck processes and in the short time we've worked together, you have already helped me in ways that I have never had from other forms of therapy. I feel like I learn something new every time we work together. Slowly reconnecting to my animal body and finding ways to honor, be with and move my survival energy and emotions has really helped me find the grounding that I've so desperately sought out for so very long. You're not only helping me process them, you're helping me befriend them in a safe container (through co-regulation, resourcing, psychoeducation). I cannot wait to see how things continue to develop.  You are a WONDERFUL human being who is so naturally intuitive to this work. If anyone is seeking a trauma knowledgeable SEP, then I would absolutely recommend them to you in a heartbeat. I thought I was beyond help, but you've shown me that difficult cases like myself are capable of healing. I will always be forever grateful for that, and for the skills you are teaching me along the way.

You have been amazing to work with and I have learned SOOOO much from you. I feel like my window of tolerance and my skillset have increased beyond measure in the past several months. The imagery we have done together will no doubt be something I carry with me in my healing journey. I so appreciate your journeying with me through all of the bumpiness with Mindy, too. Thank you for all of the ways you have invested in my healing!   You are (and I am confident will continue to be) an amazing SEP.

I’ve appreciated working with Alex these past few weeks. When I was looking for a SEP, it was important for me to find someone who respects boundaries, doesn’t push too quickly, and is someone I naturally connect with.  I like that she brings a balance of humanity and professionalism to the work. There's space to talk about feelings if needed and at the same time she can lead that back to the felt sense. Alex creates an environment where my nervous system feels supported enough to let the deeper wounds surface naturally and she does this in a way that never feels forced. What stands out to me is how creatively and intuitively she adapts her approach to support my body and nervous system. She doesn’t treat this work as a one-size-fits-all process, but instead calibrates it to what I need in each moment. I truly believe that makes a difference. I leave the sessions feeling relief, with more space in my system.  I’ve also noticed that I can now explore heavy topics or emotions without feeling re-traumatized afterward, which honestly felt impossible before. For example, in a recent session, we worked with a difficult memory, and through pendulation and focused awareness, I felt grounded and safe throughout. In the past, telling that same story would leave me dysregulated for days.

Alex helps me to return to a place in myself where I feel safe and calm, a very vulnerable young place that feels safe to access while in Alex’s hands. I can relate to the deepest parts of myself there, feeling long buried feelings, releasing chronic tension from my body, and increasing my capacity to move through life events with a greater sense of wholeness. Alex’s work has been the most impactful professional help that I’ve had in addressing my most persistent somatic manifestations of trauma. I am so very grateful for her sensitivity and expertise.
