About Alex

Massage . Yoga . Reiki

Serving Middle River, Towson, and the greater Baltimore area, I work to cultivate meaningful & enjoyable life experiences influenced by nature and the practices of Massage, Yoga & Reiki

The love of movement & health began at an early age. As a trained dancer, I have always been curious about how the body moves and our own control of actions and (e)motions. Being a dancer led me to spend a lot of time inside dance studios and auditoriums. I intuitively knew I needed to balance all of the inside time with the great outdoors. So, I spent much of my free time being in nature.

My curiosities of movement and nature led me to Radford University where I studied Recreation, Parks, & Tourism with a concentration in Recreation Therapy (2013) and began my clinical career as a Recreation Therapist. In 2016, I studied Yoga in Costa Rica and began integrating the movement & practices of yoga into my work as a Recreation Therapist. With an unending hunger for knowledge & experience, I continue to incorporate new teachers, information and practices into my work.

My curiosity took me further and further and I ended up in Massage School in 2023 at Potomac Massage Training Institute. With almost a decade of teaching Yoga, bodywork came very naturally to me. My massage work is influenced by Swedish & Deep Tissue work as well as the more subtle practices of Reiki & Craniosacral techniques. Every massage is individually tailored to meet the needs of each client. I treat many individuals with specific needs - such as back pain, tennis elbow and migraine headaches. My intimate knowledge of the musculoskeletal system enables me to treat conditions with great care and accuracy. My calming presence and gentle touch allows my clients leave their session relaxed and rejuvenated; able to breathe, move and sleep better.

Now, I run my business full time alongside Middle River Yoga - a quaint Yoga studio in Middle River. When I’m not working, I love spending time with loved ones, being in nature, reading, trying new recipes, taking movement classes, and simply enjoying life.
