Based in Nottingham, Alexandra has studied the use and effects of alternative therapies for over 14 years, achieving qualifications allowing her to practice a wide range of treatments for both physica, emotionall and spiritual ailments.
Under the tuition of the talented Jay Rossi, Alexandra began practising yoga in 1999 which lead to a whole new way of life, becoming very much more body and mind aware. Alexandra firmly believes that her experience through yoga has played a significant part in her personal development throughout these years culminating in the launch of her own venture.

At about the same time Alexandra embarked on the study of Astrology, a course which 4 years, and it too shone a different light on her world. Qualifying as a ‘Western Reflexologist’ in 2003, training with The International Institute of Reflexology, Alex completed a course which involved the in depth study of anatomy and physiology. from which she emerged as a registered member of the Association of Reflexologists.

At this point Alexandra decided to broaden her horizons, spending time travelling around Thailand and, after sampling many a massage and treatment, became fascinated by the culture and healing practices.

And so it was whilst travelling that the decision was made to train in the art of Thai Massage, with the aim of bringing the wonderful health benefits it provides back to England. Studying at the Superior Wat Po Traditional Medical School in Bangkok, Alexandra was soon to qualify in Thai Traditional Massage, Advanced Thai Medical Massage Therapy and Thai Reflexology (Eastern Reflexology).

Furthering her skills in “bodywork” Alex trained at the famous London Centre of Indian Champissage studying Indian Head Massage with the renowned practitioner Narendra Mehta. Alex decided to take things even further by studying Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology under Dr Neil Slade (also an excellent homeopath), at the College of Naturopathic Medicine in London.

Alexandra then qualified after 5 years at the College of Naturopathic Medicine as a Naturopath with her specialism in Herbal Medicine. Alongside Herbal Medicine Alexandra uses Iridology (the study of the coloured part of your eye) and tongue diagnosis to asses your health and individual constitution. Alexandra is also trained in auricular (ear) acupuncture, in which she has an advanced diploma. Currently she is studying for the advanced diploma in Iridology.

The term Naturopath describes a practitioner who applies natural therapy, and has studied in the philosophy of Naturopathy. It is far more than fasting, nutrition, water and exercise.

Approved natural healing practices such as homeopathy, Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine, as well as the use of techniques such as Colon Hydrotherapy are all included under this category. Using a range of alternative methods of diagnosis (tongue, nail, face and iridology) a practitioner can often successfully pinpoint a pre-disposition in the body, before the onset of acute disease, and treat the patient with specific therapies and changes in the patients living habits.

By learning about the effects of toxicity and detoxification on the body, Alex soon became aware of the, often, damaging effect that the products we use on our skin can have. She recommends natural products, that work in harmony with the skin and give great results

Alexandra has a specialist interest in diet, nutrition and food allergy, after having to change her own diet and cut out particular foods for wellbeing, she achieved excellent results. Alexandra also has the belief that any system or therapy that she uses she has had personal experience of, so she can understand a persons journey on the road to recovery and a better, healthier life.

Alexandra runs a busy practice in Mapperley treating all diseases from skin problems, anxiety, depression, hayfever, asthma, fertility issues, arthritis, respiratory problems to digestive difficulties with bloating, constipation, IBS and sluggishness. She uses a range of therapies, remedies and techniques to help support you on your journey back to better health.
