Aleksandra Bazinska
A lifelong student of the healing arts and personal growth, Aleksandra delights in supporting others on their journey of self-discovery, empowerment, healing and transformation. Aleksandra completed 6300 hours of study of clinical psychology in Poland, and then traveled to the United States to study with Arnold Mindell Process Oriented Psychology.
For years she immersed herself in Energy work and bodywork (Chi Nei Tsang – the Taoist internal organ massage that is focused on Body-Mind-Spirit). She then completed a PhD in Holistic Health.
More about Aleksandra
To balance her skills with the cognitive approach she completed coaching certification, followed by three years of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) that concluded in becoming an NLP trainer and hypnotist. Inspired by Mindells explorations of body in the therapeutic process and her passion for integrating body-mind-spirit, she became certified in Somatic Experiencing – Peter Levine’s somatic trauma recovery training.
In 2012 her desire to deepen skills in working with developmental trauma led Aleksandra to enroll in the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Program and to study with Janina Fisher, Pat Ogden and other exceptional teachers. Subsequently she began studying with Kathy Kain and Stephen Terrell – an integrative somatic approach that nurtures nervous system resilience and regulation and helps clients move forward from developmental trauma.
Most recently she became certified in The Tao of Trauma, a modality the combines the wisdom of ancient Chinese Medicine and advanced skills in working with the nervous system in an embodied relational approach. She also completed Level I of Transforming the Experience-Based Brain.
Aleksandra also does ‘parts work’ informed by her extensive training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, courses with Janina Fisher and foundational classes in Internal Family Systems.
Aleksandra’s gentle and highly attuned approach creates safe and supportive space for clients to face their deepest and most difficult challenges. She is a creative and highly educated practitioner who aligns closely with her client’s needs and goals.

What Aleksandra's Clients Say
Here you will find heartfelt stories and genuine feedback from our clients. These personal accounts highlight the profound impact of our holistic approach on their physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
"I just realized that I got my taxes started early! For the previous 4 years, I avoided them so long we had to file extensions every year. I realized just now that I didn't really have any issue with it and just did it when I meant to. I also got an oil change when I meant to and have been brushing my teeth without so much avoidance. All of these things used to cause me daily overwhelm and avoidance and I have had the capacity to proceed with them as I intended. I appreciate our work together all the time and wanted to share how I'm benefiting from working with Aleksandra right now." - Sandra W.
"I cannot say enough about the impact of Aleksandra's skillful work in my life. When I started working with her my nervous system was activated nearly all the time, I was facing some very major life changes, and knew that I also needed to make several others at that same time. I had a lot of fear and anxiety, and in a lot of ways my life and family was in danger because I was unable to manage it. I began to see Aleksandra weekly, desperate for support. I appreciated the way we eased into the work, and that she was always mindful of building slowly, intentionally, step by step. We began to work on many conscious strategies for a variety of issues, including managing high-stress scenarios in my life, processing family trauma, and articulating new relationships to the people in my life based in joy and capacity, rather than fear and deficit. Because of Aleksandra's steady support, I also was able to address my substance abuse for the first time in my life, and found that a calmer nervous system made living in recovery not just possible but enjoyable. Because of our regular work my life was significantly different, and I became fully able to adapt and manage my own coping skills to support my well-being. I would highly recommend her work for anybody who is struggling to cope with anxiety, fear, trauma, worry, dissociation or substance abuse. 10/10 would recommend Aleksandra for an amazing person to help you live the life you want and deserve." - Benjamin T.
"I very much enjoyed our work together-working with you felt attuned to my needs, warm and compassionate, and the right amount of space for me to feel into my experience." - George V.
"Aleksandra, I’ve been wanting to tell you how much you mean to me and how much you’ve helped me. I always say our work together has helped me more than anything in my life. Not only your plethoric knowledge, skillset, grace, eloquence, empathy and compassion, but also the example you set as a practitioner. I’ve imitated your methods many a time as a practitioner myself! " - Evelyn A.
"I give the highest of recommendations for Aleksandra and her virtual Somatic Experiencing work. Aleksandra is kind, compassionate, incredibly knowledgeable, and a master of her craft. My experiences with her are profound. During the touch part of the sessions I can feel the warmth of Aleksandra's hands on me and fall into a deep relaxed state that significantly decreases my anxiety and increases my ability to deal with serious life stressors. I feel 100 percent safe in her presence, which is not something that happens often for me. " - Maggie P.
