radical rebellion in motion
This isn’t your typical path to wellness.
This is a space for those who’ve carried too much for too long. Who’ve been told they’re too sensitive, too intense, too weird, and have learned to survive by disconnecting from parts of themselves just to get by.
But something is shifting.
Something in you wants more than just survival.
Embodied Rebellion is a return.
A return to your body, your instincts, your emotions, and your soul’s quiet knowing.
It’s a refusal to keep numbing, performing, or pushing through.
You'll be met in a space where slowing down is honored, where listening becomes a practice, and where truth isn’t rushed. Not to change who you are, but to meet who you are, honestly and wholeheartedly.
This work is rooted in queer, relational, and body-based care—especially for the ones who were told they were too weird, too deep, or just “not like everyone else.”
It’s a space for the seekers, the shapeshifters, the grief tenders, and the edge dwellers.
The ones who are drawn to what’s raw, real, and just a little bit unruly.
All of you is welcome here.
is this work for you?
embodied rebellion is for those ready to:
Feel more connected to themselves—especially after a season of confusion, burnout, or change
Let go of outdated roles, identities, beliefs, or patterns that no longer fit
Reclaim their voice and speak with care in relationships, boundaries, or decisions
Navigate relational dynamics—like one-sided friendships, shifting partnerships, or feeling unseen
Work with grief or emotional patterns through the body, not just the mind
Move through stuckness with curiosity, presence, and compassion
Explore what’s unfolding within, without rushing toward a solution
Meet a transition, whether planned or unexpected, with more clarity, grounding, and support
Deepen connection: with self, with others, and the more than human world
embodied rebellion is not for you if:
You’re looking for a quick fix or a step by step formula
You’re not ready to move beyond comfort or challenge old beliefs
Taking ownership of your growth feels overwhelming
You find it impossible to sit with discomfort, ambiguity, or not-knowing
No judgement—we’ve all been there. This work will wait for you when you’re ready.

The Path Inward
This is descent.
A return to what the surface world taught you to fear.
You may be standing at a turning point—something unraveling, no longer sustainable, no longer true.
Something in you knows the old way isn’t working.
You’re tired of doing it alone. Tired of holding it all together.
And even if you're not sure what comes next, you know something has to change.
Beneath it all, there’s a quiet ache—for connection, for something real.
With yourself. With others. With the world around you.
Maybe you were never taught how to be in relationship in a way that felt true.
Still, something deeper is calling.
You want to feel what’s real.
To be with your grief, your longing, your becoming.
To root into something more honest than performance or survival.
This work isn’t about chasing healing as a destination.
It’s about remembering what you thought you had to abandon.
It’s a return to the rhythm of your own truth.
Echoes From the Descent
“My experience with Alexandra of Embodied Rebellion has been deeply transformational for me. There was life before Alexandra and now life after. Their knowledge and expertise in somatic experiencing is vast. In our short time together, I felt myself taking leaps toward accessing the truest parts of myself.
Now I’m much more connected to myself, I can practice radical self-trust, and my truths are simplified. I'd highly recommend working with Alexandra to anyone ready to learn how to listen to the body, understand how to locate your felt senses, and then see what happens next.”

Alexandra is a queer, nonbinary somatic depth practitioner and modern-day descent guide whose work is rooted in ancestral sight, body-based wisdom, and the transformative power of descent. With precision, presence, and care, they support others in gently unraveling the stories and survival strategies that no longer serve.
Their work invites a return to what’s been forgotten, exiled, or buried beneath years of getting by. With deep respect and steady attunement, Alexandra holds space to meet parts with curiosity and compassion. Each layer is welcomed in its own time, revealing the body’s quiet intelligence and resilience that’s been there all along.
This is a path for those feeling something shift beneath the surface—a stirring, an invitation—and who are ready to explore the call in relationship, with tenderness and courage.
