Atma Prema Wellness is a one woman business offering holistic bodywork, yoga, and specialty services for women, mothers, and mothers-to-be. Atma Prema means 'unconditional self love' in Sanskrit. Alexandra was introduced to the word Atman, which means 'True Self', several years ago during one of her favorite yin yoga classes. She wept as her teacher read a beautiful poem about Atman at the end of Savasana. Right then, she knew in her heart that it was the word and meaning she'd been yearning for, for a very long time. Alex believes it is her purpose in life to connect with her True Self and find Unconditional Self Love and to support others in their journey of unconditional self love as well. 

 

Her approach is holistic, intentional, and intuitive. In practice, she weaves her own personal experiences with healing alongside ancient yogic and Ayurvedic principles and philosophies, as well as current day methods of somatic and nervous system healing. Her offerings are thoughtful, unique, and created with the intention of nourishing the whole of you.

"As we collectively navigate this new world of uncertainty, there is a lot being brought to the surface; both internally and externally. Now, more than ever before, it is so important for each one of us to be connected and clear with ourselves and our unique, individual truths. We hold the very answers we seek, but we must get quiet and still enough to listen."

Holistic Abdominal and Womb Massage is a nourishing massage that specifically and gently targets the internal organs, muscles, connective tissue, and ligaments of the abdomen and pelvis. Abdominal massage is well recognized for fertility enhancement. It helps by shifting the uterus into the proper position thus increasing circulation, Qi (life energy), lymphatic, nerve, and hormonal flow. It can address stress related fertility issues, unexplained infertility, tubal blockages, ovarian cysts, irregular or uncomfortable menstrual cycles, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances and abdominal adhesions from surgeries. Holistic Abdominal and Womb Massage is not limited to female bodies; it can be beneficial for people of all ages and phases of life. 

CUPPING
REIKI

Cupping is an ancient modality that can be traced back to cultures all over the world. This therapy uses suction to create negative pressure whereas massage creates positive pressure/compression. The cups may be placed in a stationary position for several minutes, which may result in discoloration (not bruising), or the cups can be moved around which prevents the discolorations. The discolorations may be indicative of stagnation, congestion, or deficiency. Cups can be used anywhere that the body can be massaged. Cupping should not be painful and the suction marks do not leave behind any pain or sensation. Cupping is beneficial for a variety of ailments and positively effects nearly all systems of the body. 

Reiki is a Japanese healing modality that calls upon the infinite source of universal energy as a way to heal and clear blocked energy within and around the physical body. This energy is channeled through the attuned practitioner to the receiver. It is our belief that the practitioner is not "doing" the healing, rather we are simply providing the space, intention, and presence for the client to heal. In person Reiki sessions incorporate gentle and light or energetic touch to encourage relaxation and stimulate the natural healing process. Clients generally feel a sense of lightness, clarity, and optimism after their session.

YOGA
GUIDANCE / COACHING

Yoga means 'to unite'. It is a practice of coming home to your True Self as well as remembering that everything is connected. Through mindful movement, breath, and meditation, yoga offers you a safe space to explore your body and inner world while expanding your sense of curiosity, compassion, connection, and non-judgment for both your Self & Others.

Beginners are welcome & encouraged! 

In person classes are offered weekly at The Yoga Branch studio. All props are provided in studio.

Coaching sessions that honor and acknowledge the whole of you. Whether you're experiencing a big life transition, lack of direction, support surrounding fertility, pregnancy, or postpartum, or are looking for more tools to help you manage and reduce your stress and anxiety - these holistic sessions are an opportunity for you to reflect and (re)connect with your Self.
