Alessandra Markus LMT
With over 17 years of experience in therapeutic bodywork, Alessandra has devoted her life to the study of the healing arts. Originally from France, her journey as a world traveler led her to train extensively in India, Thailand, France, and the United States, where she had the privilege of learning from respected masters across traditions Alessandra specializes in CranioSacral Therapy, a gentle, non-invasive treatment that works with subtle touch along the skull and spine. By listening to the body’s natural rhythms, this therapy supports the nervous system in returning to balance and encourages a profound state of relaxation. Through light, sustained contact with the bones of the skull and sacrum, CranioSacral Therapy aims to optimize the flow of cranial fluid and restore harmony within the body. The session is received fully clothed and is especially supportive for expectant and new mothers, as well as those experiencing headaches, concussions, TMJ discomfort, and stress. Her practice is deeply rooted in a reverence for the body’s innate intelligence and is passionate about medicinal plants, yoga, and somatic movement, and integrates these influences into her work. Alessandra handcrafts her own herb-infused oils and raw cacao preparations, honoring plant medicine as a companion to healing.
