Besides being certified in integrated Myofascial Therapy (iMFT) from Myofascial Release UK, she has health coaching, mentoring, counselling L2, Ayurveda, and Reiki I/II certifications.

Special interests:

1. TMJ issues
2. Scar tissue managment
3. Back issues

You will be actively involved in the treatment. When you tune inward and soften your body, the work can go deeper and be more effective. Alex will engage you in the process and ask you for feedback, which will help improve your sense of self (interoception) and body awareness (proprioception). These can positively influence how our body and mind communicate with the autonomic nervous system, helping to down-regulate stress responses, alleviate symptoms, restore balance, and reduce the experience of pain. In addition to promoting self-care, she will provide you with tools to enhance your self-efficacy to complement your treatment. Rather than focusing on the result, the emphasis is on implementing small but impactful changes that can be easily integrated into your daily routine. Alex is here to help you get back to doing the things you love and want to do in life.

Alex offers both one-on-one and group Self-Myofascial Release Therapy sessions in Cheltenham
