Hi I’m Allesanda!
I am an orthopedic massage therapist, lymphedema therapist, wellness coach, and founder of Unwind Mind Body Soul.
I started practicing massage therapy in 2013.
I also lead workshops and online group programs that help people struggling with relationship problems.
How did I get here?
One of my family members has had a chronic illness my whole life.
As a teenager, I started to take interest in trying to cure this family member. The desire to help those closest to led to a fascination with alternative medicine and holistic care.
I once believed if only I could help change the challenging people in my life then I would experience serenity...
In the past, I struggled with constant anxiety, unhealthy relationships, overworking, and fears about stability and financial security. I had some real-life challenges happen over the last 6 years including the death of my mother and my home burning down in a wildfire.
I have always felt extremely empathetic towards other people, to the point that other life situations would cause stress in my life. I needed to be needed by others to feel worthy. It was not enough for me to just be me. I defined myself by my usefulness to others. I thought I just wanted to help fix people.
Over the past 7years, I have learned tools from various practices that have helped transform my inner world which has led to a transformation in my life.
Today I have loving and fulfilling relationships with healthy boundaries. I have an internal feeling of ease and I feel stable in my life. I am able to go with the flow instead of feeling doomed when challenges arise.
