Awaken, Evolve, Rise
​
January 2026 Cohort Forming Now!
You're Invited
Our offerings are crafted for leaders who are not content with the status quo and seek to transcend traditional leadership paradigms. It is a call to step into a space of deep inquiry and experiential learning, where each session introduces a different participatory method to explore and practice together. These methods—ranging from relational attunement practices to collective visioning sessions—are designed to foster dialogue, collective insight, and embodied action. Unlike traditional programs that focus solely on cognitive learning, these workshop engage the full spectrum of your intelligence—integrating the wisdom of your body, the emotions of your heart, and your energetic, intuitive, & imaginative capacities. From the tangible to the intangible, from the known to the mysterious, this journey will challenge you to explore the multifaceted nature of how you lead.
Awaken
Leadership Level 1
Our signature 12-week program, Awaken, is grounded in lived leadership, holistic wellness, embodied practice, participatory methods, and the science of how humans thrive at work.
​
This embodied, experiential curriculum helps you expand your influence and impact without tipping into burnout or sacrificing what matters most.
We show you how to have a successful leadership career and a thriving, meaningful personal life — so your work fuels you instead of draining you.
Leaders who join us describe feeling more purposeful and fulfilled in the work they care about. Their relationships grow stronger and more supportive — with partners, family, and teams alike. Energy returns, clarity deepens, and their leadership begins to feel like an expression of who they truly are.

Evolve
Leadership Level 2
For many leaders, this work becomes about much more than restoring balance or easing exhaustion. The practices, frameworks, and community become the foundation for a more regenerative way to lead and live.
​
Many say what we teach should be core training for anyone guiding teams or shaping culture —
a way to bring vitality and vision back into leadership itself.
​
Evolve is the next level — the deep integration.
It’s where restoration becomes renewal,
and leadership turns into a living practice.
​
Evolve is a 12-month advanced community and mentorship experience where you expand your influence, deepen your embodied wisdom, and grow into the leader you were always meant to be — grounded, connected, and fully alive in both work and life.

Rise
Leadership Level 3
For some, Rewilding becomes more than a program — it becomes a lifelong practice for how to live, lead, and relate. It shifts the way they lead discussions, build connections, and respond to change.
​
Rise is our mastery path.
​
This 12-month advanced training and mentorship experience is where you learn to guide others in the Rewilding way — bringing renewal, rhythm, and presence into the systems you touch. Here, you’ll translate personal transformation into collective practice.
​
You’ll refine your facilitation skills, deepen your embodied leadership, and learn to design cultures that sustain vitality, creativity, and trust. You’ll learn to hold space for teams, grow with conflict, and evolve organizations through resonance and alignment.

Ground in Embodied Presence
Your nervous system sets the tone for everyone around you—calm or chaos ripples through teams. Embody practical resets for stress that others can attune to.
Expand Perspectives
Like a rubber band stretched between two poles, holding tension can feel difficult but generates hidden energy. The “third way” that emerges is often wise, & could not have appeared without the stretch.

We are not stuck for lack of trying – we can't think our way out of auto-pilot habits. Come and learn how to repattern your brain to create lasting change.
Cultivate Relationships
Hold Empowering Spaces
Learn to shape conversations as containers of presence—where surface talk gives way to deeper currents, defensiveness dissolves, and truth can be heard.
facilitate Conflict Repair
Work somatically with anger & defensiveness, so breakdowns shift into breakthroughs—restoring dignity, trust, & a sense of being on the same side. Conflict becomes a doorway into deeper alignment.

meet alexis
My unique background as a somatic coach, mother, tech leader, & person with invisible disabilities allows me to weave my work across settings - from corporate leadership to intimate healing - affecting change where it is longed for & most needed. I am deeply authentic, present, & always in my own process of transformation & growth.
With doctoral training in psychology & somatic practices, I create transformative spaces that foster depth, safety, & renewal. Paired with 15+ years in engineering leadership & leadership studies, I bridge somatic psychology with leadership development to create experiences of personal fulfillment & systems renewal.
If you're curious about me or this work, reach out. I'd love to talk with you.

A Living Laboratory
The work does not simply ask you to think about transformation; it immerses you in the transformative process itself, where learning happens every time we meet through direct interaction, relational awareness, and embodied presence. You don't learn about different methods and processes to apply, you get to experience them in action. We hold space differently, we practice what we teach.
