  • My wife and I have been working with Alexandra for the past year, and there are not enough words to describe the impact her and her team have had on our lives through this time. We've really been through the ringer of life, and Woven Bodies has proven to be a safe haven of healing time and time again. Strongly recommend.

  • Woven Bodies is such a wonderful resource for all bodies! I've personally benefited from acupuncture and mentorship here, and I'm so grateful for (and better off after) both. And as a doula, many of my clients have raved about the classes at Woven Bodies. Highly recommend these supportive, kind, and knowledgeable folks!
