About Alessa
Despite a successful career in the corporate world, I felt empty. I went through cycles of overwork and burnout, alongside depression first formed in childhood. I was constantly - desperately - looking to the outside for fulfilment: for something to make sense of everything and make it all worthwhile. The belief that sustained me was an overwhelming conviction that there had to be something more to life than this.
This started me on a path of spiritual study that has included Andean cosmology, Hatha yoga, Jikiden Reiki and Tibetan Buddhism. Eventually the path led me to breathwork; first for my own healing and then, when I experienced what the breath can do, as a way to help others. I studied with David Elliott. His teaching focuses on empowering us to love and nurture ourselves, each other and Mother Earth, using breathwork as the cornerstone for healing.
In my sessions, I combine intuitive healing with breathwork, reiki, Light activation, sound, essential oils to support you.
As a healer, my intention is to be a conduit for Spirit and to support you on your healing journey. I help you let go of negative energies and come to a place of self-love, finding freedom in your true nature.
Gratitude
I am grateful to all my teachers, to all the events and people along the path that led me to this place and continue to teach me.
Deer medicine
As you can tell from the logo, my animal totem is the Deer! Deer medicine is all about gentleness. And I love the way they leap over hurdles with grace and ease.
This is an excerpt from Jamie Sams' Medicine Cards:
"The only true balance to power is the love and compassion of Deer. Be willing to find things to love about yourself and others, and your demons will melt away. Your fears cannot reside in the same place that love and gentleness abide. Fawn can teach you many lessons about unconditional love. ... The gentleness of Fawn is the heart-space of the Great Spirit."Deer is an incredible guide and support to me. It comes to me in dreams and visions, sometimes as a celestial being of starlight. This was the inspiration behind the logo designed by the incredibly talented Jen Hawkyard. (With the seven stars of the Pleiades in the mix too!)
Jen created this beautiful channelled artwork of my Spirit Deer. It's a wonderful way to connect with the medicine: meditate on the image, look within and hear the message from Deer.
