GET TO KNOW ALICIA

Born in El Paso, Texas and raised in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, I grew up immersed in the rich cultural tapestry of the borderlands. My journey into holistic healing began with my grandmother Veronica, who introduced me to traditional Mexican remedies and took me to my first "sobador" to address childhood knee problems.

 

These early experiences sparked a lifelong passion for natural healing and a desire to help others. After initially pursuing a career in tourism, I found my true calling as a massage therapist. As a single Hispanic mother and the only Spanish speaker in my class, I overcame challenges to become one of the first to obtain my license. This achievement led me to work in a chiropractic office before opening my own practice in El Paso.

 

In 2021, I made the bold decision to relocate to Austin with my daughter, Frida. This move, though challenging, proved to be transformative. Austin's vibrant community has embraced us, providing fertile ground for both personal growth and professional development.

 

My quest for knowledge has taken me across the globe. In 2023, I traveled to Barcelona to become certified in Emotional Kinesiology, a powerful therapy that addresses both physical and emotional stress. I'm currently expanding my expertise in Biological Decoding, which explores the intricate connections between the brain, body, and psyche.

 

Looking ahead, I'm excited about my upcoming trip to Thailand in November 2024, where I'll obtain certification in Thai Massage. This will add to my diverse toolkit, which already includes certifications in myofascial release, Lomi Lomi, Sports Massage, Prenatal Massage, and lymphatic drainage.

 

As a therapist, I believe in addressing the root causes of pain and illness, often found in emotional stress and trauma. I combine various techniques, from cupping and trigger point therapy to assisted stretching, tailoring each session to my clients' unique needs.

 

My mission extends beyond providing temporary relief. I aim to empower my clients with tools for self-knowledge and self-healing, guiding them on their journey to holistic wellness. In every session, I bring not just my skills, but my whole self - shaped by my multicultural background, continuous learning, and deep commitment to healing.
