Alexandra SMITH
I’m just your Devoted and dedicated student of life and integrative healing artist
I’ve taught and trained within the healing arts for nearly a decade and have played therapeutic soundscapes worldwide for 14 years. I take a lot of pride in the vast training in sacred spiritual sciences I’ve been blessed to access.
I know my role is being a bridge for remembering the ways of the past.
As an international sound and integration practitioner, facilitator, and of guide of the Tranquility School of Integrative Healing, I specialize in bridging the science of spirituality through my virtual and in-person offerings.
As the previous owner of a wellness studio in San Diego, California for four years, I provided daily sound baths, taught yoga classes, facilitated integrative trainings and guided ceremonies for the community. My studio worked in partnership with Love Your Brain a non profit that provided yoga to the traumatic brain injury community and alongside Scripts Hospital.
This is where I saw the benefits and impacts of working with integrative modalities.
After hosting thousands of sound baths since 2011, training dozens of students and healers, teaching yoga, facilitating ceremony and trainings worldwide, as well as hundreds of one-on-one sessions/treatments in integrative healing, and traveling the world playing singing bowls at scared sites, on pilgrimage, and for elders & spiritual guides…
I’ve come to specialize in
The art of integration.
In 2013 I had the privilege to experience six weeks of immersive training in Bali, receiving and learning daily the crafts of sound ceremony, yoga nidra and meditation. This was when I felt in my bones that I must live my life as a ceremony, and by doing so others would find their way.
This was the gift of integration. It's become my mission to help people integrate from all walks of life and all types of experiences.
I believe life is a continuous ceremony and many of us embark on spiritual initiations that expand our senses, and deepen knowledge but without integration, we cannot intimately relate with our soul and the natural world. This is why Integration is essential, we need to slow down to see, feel, and hear clearly.
Teachers & Traditions
I was fortunate to have found an incredible spiritual mentor who lovingly walked alongside me for many years, witnessing my ups and downs and all-around. She became a guiding light during my darkest times, and eventually, she taught me how to be that for myself, so I could remember that my light has been and will always be within me. Without my mentor's unconditional loving support, I would not be here today as an Integrative Healer and Mentor providing similar guidance for my students on their spiritual journeys.
Four years into my journey, I completed a two-year personal transformation training as a mentor. My purpose for going through leadership training was not to guide others, but rather to embrace my inner wisdom as my own best guide and mentor. I had been apprenticing as an integrative healer and spiritual mentee for five years, and it was time for me to move forward, and that's when Shamanism opened up for me to deepen in the teachings of earth-based practices and with an entirely new community.
It is an honor and privilege to walk alongside many indigenous elders that have supported my journey as a healer and teacher providing me with unique threads of wisdom as a guide for my students.
I’ve spent seven years walking the path with indigenous teachers from all four corners of the world and intimately with the Mayan Tz'utujil people from San Pedro, Lake Atitlan, Guatemala and the Huni Kuin people from Acre, Brazil. I didn't intend to walk alongside the indigenous community. Still, the will of the Divine awakened something inside me as I remembered my higher mission here during these times of collective struggle and disconnect: to bring integrative experiences, training, and opportunities for people to remember their Divine Nature.
We are not separate from the natural living world, but rather, we are an extension of it.
I do not teach, train, or facilitate any healings or ceremonies from these sacred traditions. Instead, I act as a bridge for modern people to know that the indigenous people are alive, living the ways of their ancestors, urging the Western world to reconnect to the earth, to our own ancestors, and to heal our broken hearts and disconnected minds.
It brings me so much joy to witness my students remember the ways of the old and discover the gifts of being within the community. When I am in service to my life purpose, I have the support of my elders praying for my work, students, and community, which opens the paths for those interested in healing.
“Alexandra is a timebender, her ability to slow down time when she curates soundscapes is masterful. She has the gift of listening to the symphony of the moment and being in relationship with the elements that support her sound work."
it wasn’t always this way...
I used to long for more meaning in my relationships. I wanted to let the music move through me while dancing and singing, but no matter how much I tried, my inner critic was getting in the way. I desired to appreciate the beauty of a slow dinner with my friends, but for as long as I could remember,
there was something in the way of me feeling the timelessness within the present moment.
My mind always severed the intimate connections with myself and others. I traced this feeling as far back as I can remember, and throughout my 20s, spent a lot of time unpacking my childhood to discover where the snag was in my formative years (sound familiar?).
I know the depths of the hero's journey very well, and I am here to walk alongside you as you remember that you are your greatest teacher, healer, and friend because I've been there, too. My journey has shown me that life is a ceremony, and what matters the most is knowing that life is always moving through you, beckoning you to lean into the beauty of the moment so that you can feel truly alive in your relationships.
I’ve curated multiple offerings for you to walk your path at your pace alongside a loving guide who will remain by your side as you receive or deepen your knowledge of spiritual healing. Each modality building upon the next, will provide a firm foundation as you expand your senses. You can think of these modalities as companions that will help you deepen your relationship with yourself, the form & the formless of the present moment.
Come spend some time with us to experience the gifts of integrative healing for yourself.
