There is Energy flowing through us all the time. It is the Life Force that propels us, connecting us to the land and to each other. Sometimes that energy gets stuck or depleted – affected by negative thoughts or experiences. Energy Medicine releases the blocks that are keeping you from your truest self, allowing your own energetic power to flow throughout your body to allow you to heal and thrive.
My name is Alejandra (Alex) Villalobos-McAnderson and I am a licensed holistic Energy Medicine practitioner, Mindful Leadership & Corporate Energy Coach. I guide athletes, entrepreneurs, and high-performing business leaders to embrace intuitive and powerful leadership practices. I am committed to providing support and guidance to all of my clients and the KC community through a variety of services.

Of your heart.

CALL TO ACTION 🚨✊🏽
There is a national farmworker labor strike happening Wednesday through Friday — July 16th, 17th, and 18th — and if you’re asking how to stand up for our gente, this is how.
Do not buy produce on these days. (or anything)
Our community — especially Latino and immigrant workers — is under attack. From the recent ICE raids in Camarillo and LA to the horrific conditions in detention centers (yes, concentration camps)… people are being tortured, detained, and killed. I’ve seen it firsthand with my brother. This isn’t fearmongering. It’s truth.
So what do we do?
We stop consuming. We hit them where it hurts. This empire understands one language: MONE. And it’s time we start using our collective power to disrupt the systems that profit off our pain.
This is more than a boycott — it’s a moment of solidarity. A pause in our overconsumption. A way to honor the hands that harvest our food, often without rights, protection, or fair wages.
Pay attention to who is supporting and who is staying silent. I’m not judging, but I am watching. Use your discernment. This is the time to rise, to unite, and to act.
Please share. Especially in Kansas City. Let’s amplify this and show up the way our ancestors would’ve wanted us to.

Lately, I feel like a trail mix of emotions—joy, gratitude, heartbreak, and rage.
Life is beautiful. My kids are healthy. My body is strong. I’m surrounded by love. And still, my heart breaks.
I see my people being hunted, tortured, dehumanized by systems never meant to protect us. I see silence where there should be outrage. And I know—we cannot wait for rescue from outside of us.
This is a call-in to my people:
Black, Brown, Indigenous kin—
Do not shrink.
Do not wait.
Do not beg for validation or visibility from systems that have erased us for centuries.
We must support each other.
We must invest in each other.
We must protect one another.
Stop trying to convince the small-minded to grow.
They have made their choices.
Protect your energy.
If you see harm—speak up.
If you hear a microaggression—interrupt it.
If someone is being targeted—stand beside them.
No more shadows. No more silence.
I know it’s heavy. I know it hurts.
But you are not alone.
You never have been.
The ancestors are with us. Always.
And we—we are still here.
Sending strength to anyone walking through the valley right now.
This is where transformation begins.
This is the moment we remember who we are.
Recuerda quién eres. 🧡

This week, I had the honor of holding space with some incredible humans at @theporterhousekc . Thank you so much, Miranda and Dan, for trusting me to be a part of this.
We talked about burnout—what it really feels like, how it sneaks up in layers, and the tools that help us come home to ourselves. Kristen from @resolve_counseling dropped some wisdom, and I led a short guided meditation to help us feel and release what our bodies have been holding.
Chris Good shared his journey with @rubyjeansjuicery and what holistic wellness means to him. Dr. Beth Embry from @kubschool helped expand the conversation. And Patrick Sallee from @vibranthealthkc reminded us that true wellness work doesn’t happen without courage—especially when it comes to facing systems that keep our communities unwell.
What struck me most was how honest and raw the conversations were. We didn’t just talk about self-care and burnout; we talked about the systems that cause it. We talked about our country, our kids, and the structures that weren’t built for us.
You can’t talk about wellness without naming what’s making people sick—disconnection, lack of access, broken systems, and generations of harm.
But even in that, there was hope. There was community. There was care.
Grateful to Porterhouse KC for creating a brave space for these conversations. May there be many more.

We’ve all seen the quotes about pain vs. suffering. But here’s the thing—your brain doesn’t know the difference between something happening in real time and you remembering it. Every time you revisit an old wound, your body relives it. And every time you go back, the memory gets a little more distorted, a little more painful—until all you can feel is that pain. Not the full story. Not the lesson. Just the ache.
This is why it takes real practice to approach our pain with a neutral heart. To witness it without letting it consume us. And sometimes, we need a guide to walk us through that—to remind us that we’re not alone and that healing is possible.
Lately, the world feels heavy. There’s so much pain circulating—collective, ancestral, personal. And I feel deeply called to share every tool I have to help us move it through instead of letting it get stuck.
Because here’s the truth: there’s a difference between honoring our pain and becoming it.
So yes—feel it. Name it. Hold it. But also remember: joy and pleasure are not luxuries—they’re medicine. They are your birthright. They’re not distractions from the pain. They’re its twin flames. They teach us just as much. They liberate us, too.
As you move through today, ask yourself:
✨ What am I still holding on to?
✨ What is causing me pain right now?
✨ Is it internal or external?
✨ What needs to shift?
If it’s external—do I need to walk away, set a boundary, or make a change?
If it’s internal—what is this pain trying to teach me?
I ask every pain in my body, “What’s your message?” Because the answers always come when we’re still enough to listen.
We’re allowed to be both tender and powerful. To cry and to dance. To grieve and to play.
Just make sure you’re not only consuming pain.
Fill your tank with joy. With laughter. With light. The world needs more of that, too. 🦋

“When your day-to-day life is full and on the go, stepping into an energy session with Alex is like a breath of fresh air. Your world slows down and you are able to be present during the session because of the calming and safe presence she brings. Whether it is your first reiki session or your 5th, Alex always makes sure you are comfortable and taken care of. Afterward, you walk away feeling lighter- spiritually and emotionally – from the release of stuck energy or emotions that no longer serve you.”
