Transformational Bodywork
Alexis Christina Held bridges the physical and energetic realms through intuitive bodywork that invites deep release, connection, and transformation. Drawing from a diverse range of bodywork modalities — including deep tissue, acupressure, Thai, craniosacral, and other somatic and energetic techniques — she weaves together what the body needs in the moment with refined energetic sensitivity. Her work meets each body as a living conversation, guided by instinct, presence, and grace.
Clients often describe her touch as both grounded and transcendent, offering profound spaciousness, renewal, and a deeper connection to themselves. As healer Michael Frazier shares, “This is far beyond massage; it is transformational healing.”
90- and 120-minute sessions are available for bodywork-focused experiences.
Transformational Bodywork + Embodiment Practice
For those wanting to go deeper, longer sessions combine transformational bodywork with personalized embodiment practice.
The work begins with the physical body, while also exploring the patterns, sensations, emotions, and ways of being that live within it. Together, we may incorporate guided awareness, breath, movement, nervous-system regulation, boundaries, presence, or other practices specific to your intention and goals.
The purpose is not simply to experience something profound during a session, but to develop tools and practices you can bring into your everyday life — deepening your relationship with your body and creating greater choice, presence, and connection beyond the session.
Each longer session is customized around what you want to explore, shift, or cultivate. There is no predetermined formula; the body, your intention, and what is arising in the moment guide the work.
Longer customized Embodiment sessions are available by inquiry.
“Wow Just wow” It took me some time to get any other words out. My 120 minute session with Alexis was life-changing. More than I could have hoped for. A soul retrieval.
I’m walking away with a renewed well of energy, inspired, centered, and with clarity of mind and heart.
To have felt so deeply seen and held was an absolute gift. A great expansion is on the horizon and I am excited for what unfolds. Thank you Alexis… truly masterful.
If you have the opportunity to receive or learn from this woman, take it."

Clarity is distilled in peace, and working with Alexis creates the serenity that makes knowing accessible. Her intuitive bodywork gave me access to blind spots; she expertly and lovingly brought me to a deep state of relaxation that physically released insights and emotions that had been buried in my tissue.
What came up for me opened new possibilities and allowed me to see what needed to change in order to step forward in a new chapter of life.
Even if you are not looking for a somatic release, Alexis's work can effectively heal physical injury: a knee that has bothered me for as long as i can remember is now perfectly operable. I'm ready for another half marathon! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Alexis, for your dedication and for sharing your gifts with the rest of us. Your work is such a blessing for those of us who chose to receive.

"I have worked with Alexis for many years and trust her ability to read my body and provide what is most needed. This is even more true now as I face not one, but two, major life changes. Sure enough, this week's session moved me into a state of relaxed confidence that I can welcome the new path ahead and succeed in whatever comes. Thank
you so much, Alexis."

"I am a connoisseur of bodywork, and Alexis is among the best I've ever experienced--absolutely world-class. Typically, I find that massage is either "masculine," and somatically penetrating, OR "feminine" and gently nurturing.
Both can be great--but Alexis integrates the two. Her work is extremely penetrating somatically--she gets into the deepest places in my musculature and soma--while being completely feminine. Alexis goes into a deep space of
embodiment when she works--she's dancing with your body. If you're at all attuned when you're receiving--and she will help you get attuned--you will notice the difference of a bodyworker who is as dropped in, embodied, and present with your body and soul as Alexis. She creates a sacred space for receiving that can only be described as Body Temple...."

"Working with Alexis was powerful, nourishing, and transformative.
The depth of her attunement and intuition is beyond what I've experienced with other practitioners. She knew exactly what needed attention and worked with those areas of stuck energy and tension with an incredible balance of depth and sensitivity, leading my body right where it needed to go to let go and shift.
I was able to meet and transform things that I had held onto for many years. I left feeling like a new person and I'm still feeling the echoes of our work together.
I honestly was hesitant to book as the investment was a little more than I was used to, but this is no ordinary "bodywork." If you have the opportunity to experience her work, take it... Life-changing."
