We Can Do It
Differently!
You know the poster. The flexed arm. The bandana. The call to do it.
Eighty years later, we've clearly shown we can.
And many of us succeeded by adapting to leadership environments shaped by urgency, overfunctioning, managing perceptions, and perfecting.
But adaptation has a cost.
Burnout. Disconnection. Meetings that drain instead of move work forward.
Many women in tech are now sensing there are different ways of working when they're under pressure to better support the vision they’re truly trying to build.
Experience Rewilding Leadership
A community exploring new ways of leading and working under pressure.
For leaders ready to move beyond insights
into patterns that don't collapse under stress.
This work unfolds through cohort experiences, workshops, leadership circles,
conversations, and organizational partnerships.
Join Rewild
An in-peron or live online workshop for women in tech
to practice connected & sustainable ways of leading during stress.
Rewild is a somatic leadership experience grounded in psychology, neuroscience, & transformation.

Our Bodies Lead In Stress
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 in 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, In-Person or 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.
In Person Weekends, In Person 12-week,
Live Online 12-week options
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

Somatic Body-Based Awareness
-
Nervous System Co-Regulation

Meet Your Facilitator
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.
