Alexa is an acupuncturist, herbalist, bodyworker, Breathwork healer, and founder of The Origin Center. Her greatest passion is helping you feel better in your body and your life. Her transformational approach to care is rooted in the premise that you are already in possession of health and self you seek - you just need some help uncovering it.
Alexa was raised in a family that understood good health was not simply a matter of good genes or good luck - good health could be sought and cultivated. Her grandmother resolved debilitating allergies through a commitment to dietary changes in the era of TV dinners. Her mother followed suit, emphasizing nutrition at home, and opting for homeopathy and rest to (successfully!) manage the various colds, flus, bumps and bruises endemic to childhood.

I realized I forgot to say "thank you" for saving me with my allergies! I think I have still been in shock and haven't had the real chance to let it sink in and just thank you a million times over! I can't believe it. After one treatment my knee pain, hand pain, bowels and urination were all so much better.

We can't say enough good things about Alexa. Several years ago our daughter developed a severe and disfiguring skin condition which had exhausted all our efforts with western medicine as well as suppliment/dietary regiments. Alexa got her functioning again with herbs, and after a recent relapse we're returning shortly for follow-up.
My husband developed a shoulder injury from computer overuse which Alexa treated successfully with acupuncture, and Ihad a sinus condition completely cured with acupuncture, which I understand is unusual. In the latter case Alexa was quite honest about the poor changes

I came across Alexa by chance as I desperately searched for a new approach to help my RLS, which had been plaguing me for a while and with which no Western medicine doctor seemed able (or even willing) to help. I found her online, took a chance, and am so happy that I did. Although we saw uncertain and inconsistent results at first, one of the most significant things Alexa did for me was show me the empathy, open-mindedness, and dedication to helping me that doctors had not. Where doctors had been dismissive, Alexa was supportive; where doctors had been narrow-minded, Alexa was receptive and creative
