Meet Alexis
Founder, Hakomi Practitioner, Tech Exec
Hi, I'm Alexis. I'm a Somatic Leadership Coach. I work with leaders who care deeply about how they show up — and still find themselves reacting differently when things get stressful. I help people build leadership capacities by learning to read cues from their bodies, regulate their systems, and train new responses using imaginal imagery & experiential practices.
With graduate training in somatic psychology and transformative leadership, alongside 20+ years as a software leader & coder, I’ve spent more than a decade exploring what actually helps leaders stay human under pressure. Drawing from advanced studies in Counseling and East-West Psychology, I bring an interdisciplinary approach to leadership development informed by neurobiology, Hakomi, and contemplative wisdom traditions. I create leadership experiences that support more effective and sustainable ways of working together.
If you're curious about me or this work, reach out.
I'd love to talk with you.

We Support Stress & Burnout
Have you noticed how leaders unconsciously trade trust, creativity, & collaboration for urgency & control when under pressure?
Here's Why:
1. Under stress, your nervous system responds—not conscious choice.
The body chooses the fastest path—usually what is habitual.
2. By the time you can think, your body has already acted.
Defensive.
Pushing through.
Over-controlling.
Shutting down.
3. To access new responses under stress, new habits must be practiced.
Rewild is a flight simulator—training you to lead in alignment with your intentions.

What Happens at Rewild
Body-Based Wisdom Leadership
You’ll learn to recognize the internal patterns shaping your leadership:
-
how you respond under pressure
-
where this pressure lives in your body
-
how your pace shapes the room
Nothing here is about fixing what’s broken. It is about reconnecting with the wisdom already within you—and learning to lead from that place.
New Participatory Meetings for Collective Alignment
Most leaders have only experienced one way of running meetings: updates, agendas, presentations, & scrums.
But there are entirely different ways groups can gather, think, decide, and create together.
Experience participatory meetings —designed for visioning, decision-making, alignment, conflict, and collective insight.
Change You Can Actually See
At the beginning, you’ll identify one meaningful area of leadership ready for real movement.
We work with that focus directly — building new responses that hold under real conditions.
By the end, the shift is visible in how you act, not just how you think.
Experiential, Live Online
Rewild is not a course you watch—it is a participatory process of transformation you enter. Learning happens through direct experience: in real time, in relationship, and in the body.
Live Online 12-week offerings
Think regulation, gatherings, presence, responsiveness, & getting unstuck.
Senior Leadership Support, Without Over-Exposure
You’ll work alongside other thoughtful leaders in a space that is:
-
selective
-
respectful
-
confidential
-
intentionally small
Live sessions and an ongoing shared community provide reflection, accountability, and momentum—without pressure to disclose more than feels appropriate.
Structured, Credible, Field-Tested
Rewild's approach is clear, practical, and draws on the latest research from psychology, neurobiology, & transformative leadership:
-
Somatic Body-Based Awareness
-
Nervous System Co-Regulation
-
Hakomi, Parts Work
-
Brain Repatterning
-
Imaginal Practice
You Will Experience
A New Way of Being
Where leadership restores life instead of extracting it.
Where your presence shifts rooms.
Where teams move with more rhythm, more trust, more vitality.
Where change doesn’t burn you out —

It’s the transformation of how we lead together.
Ancient wisdom meets modern workplaces.
Individual growth meets system renewal.
