Alexi has such a warm and calming presence. I immediately felt comfortable sharing openly with her. As she guided me, I was amazed at how calm it made me feel and by the insights that came up as I paid attention to specific sensations in different parts of my body.

What is Somatic Healing?
Neuroscience-Informed Movement
We use slow, intentional movements designed to support nervous system regulation, awaken body awareness, and rewire habitual patterns. These movements help build new neural pathways that support safety, choice, and embodied presence.
Dynamic, Exploratory
Breathwork
Breath is a bridge between the conscious and unconscious. We’ll explore breath as a tool for insight and regulation—not just calming down, but tuning in. Practices are shaped in real-time to support your unique rhythms and needs.
Therapeutic Touch &
Traction
Gentle, consent-based touch offers grounding, spaciousness, and support. Techniques like pelvic decompression or sacral traction can bring relief, release holding patterns, and invite parts of the body back online.
Engaging, Empowering
Dialogue
Somatic dialogue is collaborative and present-moment focused. Rather than analyzing or fixing, we ask curious questions to help you listen inward and trust your body’s responses. It’s not about finding the "right answer"—it’s about discovering your truth in real time.
Energy & Subtle
Body Healing
Subtle energy work, like Reiki and guided visualization, supports healing on a nervous system level. It helps shift energetic blocks, deepen your connection to intuition, and restore flow across physical and emotional systems.
Trauma-Informed, Accessible, & Completely Customized
Every session is shaped by your pace, your history, and your goals. Whether we’re addressing birth trauma, anxiety, or the exhaustion of early motherhood, I meet you where you are—with tools that support safety, agency, and ease.

Testimonials
You Are Not Alone
I’m Alexi Neal, a Holistic Postpartum Doula, Trauma-Informed Somatic Healer and Mom to two tiny humans.
In over 13 years of supporting healing in the body and beyond, I have become a Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapist, an Internationally Certified Yoga Therapist, a Reiki Master, and a continuous student of neuroscience, the nervous system, and human deveopment. I was trained as a Postpartum Doula by my own homebirth midwife, Geneva Montano.
I have also specialized in Prenatal Yoga, Yoga Therapy for the Pelvic Floor, Holistic Postpartum Recovery, Matrescence, Ayurveda, and Trauma Informed Care. My practice brings together modern research and ancient wisdom.
My own journey into Motherhood journey sparked the call work with mothers. For 5 years, I applied this knowledge to supporting trauma survivors in healing, integrating and building thriving lives through individual and group support. But when I became a mother, I faced my own reckoning with the dramatic life changes that occur through this portal. It’s a time that needs far more attention, preparation, and support than our culture believes. But when we provide that support, it is rich with creative, dynamic and evolutionary potential.
Now, my mission is to hold mothers through this threshold, so they can emerge vibrant and rooted.
