Hi, I’m Alexandra Winteraven (they/them)
There was a point when all the systems I trusted—therapy, spirituality, even the beliefs I thought were mine—started to feel like scaffolding built to keep something hidden.
I didn’t want to bypass pain with numbness anymore. I wanted to face it. Feel it. Follow it down.
And there was grief. So much grief.
I realized I wasn’t here to help people cope better within broken paradigms. I was here to help them disrupt them, and remeber who they are beneath them.
That’s when this work began— as a lived, embodied descent. A reclamation. A return.
And it's personal. Because the more I’ve stripped away what isn’t mine—systems, stories, survival roles—the more clearly I’ve seen what’s underneath: the quiet pulse of something true. The kind of truth that comes through remembering. Through removing what never fit and becoming more of who we actually are.
That’s what I help people do.
I’m not here to give you answers. I’m here to walk with you into the spaces where your own answers live. The ones buried under years of silence, people-pleasing, performance, or forgetting. I believe the work of becoming ourselves—truly ourselves—is some of the most radical work we can do in a culture that rewards conformity and disconnection.
Because when we show up more fully, more honestly, more rooted in our own rhythm—we change things. We shift culture. We restore connection to self, to land, to each other. That’s the kind of change I’m here for.
This isn’t about healing as a destination. It’s about deepening into your own truth, at your own pace, in your own way.
If you’re feeling the stirrings of something beneath the surface… if you’re navigating change, reckoning with old patterns, or simply longing to feel more you—this work is for you.
my approach
You can expect:
Illumination
Together, we bring light to what has lived in the shadows—to meet it with presence, to understand it, to let it speak. By entering the places long protected, we begin to reclaim the parts of you that have been waiting to be felt. This is truth-telling as soul retrieval.
Threshold Tending
I meet you at the edge—those in-between moments where what once made sense begins to fall away. These thresholds hold quiet wisdom and potent invitations. Through relational steadiness and deep listening, we tend to what is ending and make space for what is beginning to emerge.
Relational Repair
This space is rooted in connection. Many of us carry longing for intimacy, trust, and belonging—while also holding wounds around being seen. In this work, we explore what it means to be in relationship with yourself, with others, and with the world in ways that feel honest, embodied, and rooted in care.
Sovereign Embodiment
Your body carries its own knowing—an innate intelligence revealed through feeling, movement, and the subtle language of the senses. Through collaborative inquiry and attuned practices, we explore the places where that intelligence has been shaped or silenced by external expectations. This work supports your return to what has always been yours: your clarity, your integrity, your embodied alignment.
Field Co-Creation
This is a shared field—alive, relational, intuitive. We weave somatic practices, astrology, tarot, depth psychology, and archetypal insight into a breathing, real time exploration. Your experience leads. Together, we tend to the mystery as it unfolds—moment by moment.
my background
While I bring over a decade of experience in the field of psychotherapy and am licensed as a therapist, my work has always centered on the terrain of attachment, trauma, and relational wounding. These foundations continue to inform what I offer, even as my practice has evolved beyond the traditional clinical model.
I now support people in ways that feel more grounded, intuitive, and expansive—outside of systems that often limit what’s possible.
Embodied Rebellion is about meeting your wholeness, not fixing your parts. This is relational work that honors nuance, depth, and soul. Instead of pathologizing your experience, we meet it with respect, curiosity, and care.

why i do this work
I do this work because I believe authenticity is revolutionary. And I know how hard it is to hold onto that truth in a world that constantly asks you to be smaller, safer, simpler.
I’m passionate about helping people become more of who they are, not who they were told to be. That often means letting go of inherited roles, expectations, or ideas of healing that center productivity or performance.
When we stop trying to become something else and start listening to what we already are, we begin to shift. We begin to reorient. We remember what’s true.
And that kind of remembering ripples outward. It’s not just personal, it’s cultural. It’s relational. It’s collective.
This work is the path I walk in my own life. It’s how I’ve learned to stay close to what matters most and how I continue to unbecome what was never mine. I don’t do this from a place of having it all figured out—I do it from a place of lived devotion to the messy, beautiful, brave act of being real.
If you're longing for that too, you're in the right place.
