I have known and loved Alicia's work as a yoga instructor for seven years, and feel so fortunate to be her bodywork client. Alicia's knowledge of human anatomy, form, and function combined with her understanding of the human spirit is nothing short of masterful. The massage felt amazing, and the experience itself was both holistic and healing.

Movement Experience

Alicia is an Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher through the Yoga Alliance having completed multiple yoga teacher training programs from renowned yogis such as Dharma Mittra and Christina Sell from 2006-2019. After teaching traditional alignment-based yoga for many years, she became interested in the intersection of somatic embodiment practices & functional conditioning and sought to expand her movement offerings. She deepened her studies through the Yoga Detour Method and Caitlin Casella’s Cross-Fade Mentorship and was eventually certified as a Yoga Tune Up® teacher. She began incorporating the Roll Model® Method of self-massage in her movement classes and discovered the magic formula of releasing myofascial tissue before activating muscles as an effective way to integrate the mind and body. She also furthered her understanding of anatomy, physiology & biomechanics with Jason Crandell, Tiffany Cruikshank, Jules Mitchell and Gil Hedley.

Coaching Experience

Alicia trained as a death doula with the International End of Life Doula Association in 2021. She is also a Board Certified Health Coach through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition since 2011.
