Alexandra Kriz

Alexandra Kriz grew up in Chico and has been a small business owner for over 12 years. In her early twenties she enlisted in the Army as a cryptologic linguist and during a deployment to Latin America incurred a traumatic sexual assault by fellow American soldiers sending her into a decade long battle with Post Traumatic Stress that had a devastating impact.  Through the help of a highly skilled local therapist, shamanic practitioner, holistic healing, and shifting to a simple way of living with nature she has blossomed into a leader in our community.

Alexandra is a graduate of the Religious Studies program at Chico State where she focused her work on entheogen use in world religions and their effects on human consciousness.  Her passion for world religion and the exploration of the unconscious can be seen in the design elements of the Phoenix Nest.  Alexandra’s life journey has given her the ability to relate to those who are struggling with trauma while offering guidance to a path of happiness and health.  Her open hearted approach as a facilitator and coach is one that honors the individual’s need to feel safe and completely free to express their truth without judgment. Alexandra is currently enrolled in the PhD program for clinical psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute.

Amber French St Clare

I am an Ayurvedic Practitioner and I am a passionate student of the healing arts and am honored to serve you. I specialize in self love alchemy, illuminating your individual beauty and working with you to shine your light on the world. I love working with the natural cycles of the seasons, the energies of the day and the elements. Each session with me is personalized to you and your needs.

I  am trained in many aspects of Ayurveda as well as multiple modalities of alternative healing such as hypnosis, energy work, yoga, meditation, sound healing, color therapy, herbalism, astrology and so much more. I have an expansive toolbox and I am sure that we will find the tools that work best for you.

Knowing your basic elemental makeup is the key to living in balance.  A free mini Ayurvedic consultation with me will give you the basics of your elemental constitutional makeup and some quick and easy lifestyle suggestions to begin to integrate and balance your system.

Ayurveda is India’s 5000 year old science of evoking inner health by aligning with the elements and the rhythms of nature. Ayurveda offers a rich and dynamic body of knowledge that supports each person’s individual holistic wellness at a deep level.

The Sanskrit word Ayurveda translates as “science of life”; the world around us is made up of five elements: ether, air, fire, water and earth. Living a life that is conscious of these elements enables us to dance in tune with these rhythmic and elemental influences, thus revitalizing our bodies, inviting us to be personally empowered to trust ourselves and reconnects our spirit. Ayurvedic treatments include daily routines, delicious foods, medicinal herbs, massage, yoga, color therapy, meditation, and other simple lifestyle changes that work to restore your body to its innate, healthy balance.

Ayurveda is an in depth system to unlock the secrets of inner and outer peace and harmony.

When you know who you are and how you are made you are empowered to love yourself and co-create your life of balance. Many blessings and much gratitude for you and your healing journey.
