On this episode, I am joined by Breathwork & Somatic Therapist, Alexandra McCalla to talk about her healing journey with somatics and breathwork.
In this episode we talk about:
- How Alexandra was introduced to her body wisdom through her breath while working with a coach to be an even more efficient tech leader.
- How she lost everything she knew her life to be and transitioned from being a tech leader to now be a Breathwork & Somatic Therapist
- How her body started to communicate to her when she started setting boundaries
- How Somatic Experiencing helped her feel safer and process various traumas
- Sharing for the first time vulnerable and intimate aspects of her healing journey
- How she supports people into healing using both bottom u & top down approaches to heal, using somatics and breathwork.
Here is a bit more about Alex:
Alex works with breathwork and somatic therapy to liberate stuck energy and emotion in the body. She’s focused on facilitating people towards more embodiment: being more connected to your true self and to others! With a wide range of experiences both in business, as an award-winning technology entrepreneur, and in therapeutic modalities, Alex brings a holistic approach to holding space for the multiple parts within us. Having worked through her own acute post-traumatic stress symptoms and auto-immune issues alongside her training she is strongly informed by how trauma and the nervous system function. She guides her clients and groups through similar challenges - all while staying grounded in a gentle breath. As a black dual heritage woman working through racialised trauma in the body is also a focus of her practice. Outside of that Alex loves music and was a DJ in a past life, and so she loves to dance around and let that inner child play!
