Aligned Body is owned by Alex Alexander who has been in the health and wellness industry for 35 years. She started her career first as a massage therapist in San Francisco and within four years also became a teacher at the National Holistic Institute. Her training included western & eastern modalities as well as energy work. Soon she began to specialize in deep tissue & pregnancy massage. Over the years Alex has developed an intuitive & structural approach and enjoys helping her clients find space and comfort in their bodies.

In 2007 Alex added a new component to her practice when she became a pilates teacher. She had already used pilates for 5 years to deal with her own chronic knee injury that she had lived with since age 18. She had found that the best way to her relieve pain was through strengthening. She worked in San Francisco’s Presidio at A Body of Work. The studio also had GYROTONIC® equipment which captured her attention. After moving to New England and becoming a trainer at Energy Within, Alex took on the long process of becoming certified in the GYROTONIC® expansion system. Created by Juliu Horvath, it is an incredibly comprehensive way to create flexibility, space & strength in the body. Some folks liken it to swimming or doing yoga with weights.

Alex’s goal is to help folks navigate the challenges of living in their bodies with whatever injuries, tightness or stressors they may have. Ultimately hoping to create wellness - space, alignment, freedom of movement and peace of mind.
