massage and bodywork
Alex Rix is a graduate of Panacea Holistic Institute's 555 hour Massage and Healing Arts Program in 2020.
Over the last five years, Alex has established her own practice at Sacred Roots Holistic Healing, been the resident Massage Therapist at Stomping Ground LA, and was on faculty and Director of the Student Clinic at Panacea Holistic Institute.
Rix specializes in Circulatory Massage, Shiatsu, Sports Massage, Deep Tissue, Craniosacral, and Massage Cupping. Her practice also integrates aspects of Sound Therapy, Aromatherapy, and Ayurveda.
As a dancer, athlete, and Massage Therapist, Alex is deeply in tune with the needs of highly active bodies. Pulling from her own physical experience, Rix focuses on more specific areas of the body, while tailoring each session to the individual client.
She provides sliding scale rates for the dance community to help cultivate sustainable self care practices for the dancing body.

"Alex is incredible. She just guides you with such ease, intention, care and mastery. It's instantly evident how deep their practice is and how much they care about your body.
Come prepared to discover a new part of yourself underneath your tension, because Alex will find that spot, or two, or three. Such artistry in her sequencing while also constantly listening to my body. Some people are taught to give bodywork, Alex was born to.
I would also like to shout out the heated pad you get to lay on the entire time."

"When I have a session with Alex I feel like I am learning how to soothe myself… almost like one of those connect the dots pieces of art….they illuminate pathways in my body that I didn’t know I knew, like they can read my subconscious mind.
*I astral project and fall asleep*
As a fellow movement researcher I feel such a symbiotic + healing conversation/energy exchange with them and feel the benefits long beyond a treatment. If anyone is looking for some full blown peaceful reset vibes, go to Alex."

"Alex Rix is an incredible bodyworker, healer, and human. As someone who often struggles to let go and fully trust in the process of receiving bodywork and various forms of touch, I have been amazed and so deeply grateful for the welcoming, healing way in which I’ve been able to fully let go under Alex’s care. Her deep knowledge of body, movement, different healing modalities, and psychology, comes through in obvious skill. Combined with her natural intuition, and her own physical grace and strength, it makes for an unparalleled bodywork experience."
As a massage therapist and movement artist my main inspiration has always been the human body. With my knowledge of how the body functions on small and large scale, through movement and stillness, I strive to assist in each individual’s self-healing. Being able to provide a service that opens space in the body and the mind to grow and heal. My work as a Massage Therapist mirrors my work as a dance artist. Approaching each session with curiosity and creativity, I create a personalized massage sequence for each client. Just as I would a dance for an audience.
Getting into the flow of a session is similar to getting into the flow of a dance. Viewing each session and individual client through an artistic lens allows me to use my expertise in the fields of dance and massage to create a personalized sequence and experience for each.

"Alex is just fabulous.
So grateful for her work in all the ways!! Not only is she dancing with me this weekend, but she gave me a massage that will help me prepare for performing once again. Thank you, Alex!"

"Alex’s body work is so tuned in to what my body needed that day, taking the time to listen to my muscles and joints. I felt a deep need to hug Alex after our first session because it was easily the best massage I’ve ever gotten! I had also never had cupping down before and she provided an incredible intro to it. Did you know you can literally feel the cup picking up your muscle?! Because I didn’t until Alex did it to me, and wow, it’s magic!"

"Alex Rix is an incredibly talented massage therapist. The way she takes care of your body, listening to what you need, alongside her intuitive flow makes for the most enjoyable experience. I believe Alex has magical hands; with a touch that is so warm and comforting, and yet sturdy enough to dig into the sticky spots that need some TLC. I always leave feeling so relaxed and refreshed, as well as a complete energy shift from before the bodywork. I am truly grateful that Alex shares her gifts with the community and in such an accessible way too."
