About Aleksandra

I am Aleksandra Bazinska, a somatic coach in the USA in Tucson, Arizona and a clinical psychologist in Europe.

I received my training in clinical psychology from the Jagiellonian University and the University of Silesia in Poland. 

Before graduate school I became a certified yoga teacher and developed an interest in Classical Asian therapies. I taught yoga and meditation while attending the Universities.

After graduating in 1987, I worked as a psychologist in a clinic that combined psychotherapy with breathwork, movement practices and meditation.

Right after the iron gates of Eastern Europe opened in 1989, I began to travel extensively throughout Western Europe, India and Nepal. I continued to study Chinese Medicine, new styles of meditation and different cultures. I opened my private practice while traveling and working in several countries.

After moving to the United States in 1995, I continued to study Chinese Medicine, as well as shiatsu and Chi Nei Tsang. I have completed a PhD in holistic health, and became certified as a  practitioner of Jin Shin Jyutsu.

As much as I enjoyed practicing hands-on healing arts, I was really missing being a psychologist. I wanted to connect to people more deeply. In 2008 I signed up for a Neuro-Linguistic Programing (NLP) and Coaching program through the NLP and Coaching Institute of California. I had the pleasure of studying with world-renown trainers such as Robert Dilts. Tim and Kris Hallbom, Steve and Connirae Andreas and many others. 

In 2008 I became certified as an NLP Life Coach and a WealthyMind™ Trainer. In the years to follow I received certifications as an NLP Trainer, an NLP Health Practitioner and a certification in Hypnosis .

In 2009 I discovered body centered approaches to healing trauma and retraining the autonomic nervous system, and began studying Somatic Experiencing (SE). I became certified in SE in 2011, and later went on to study Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, becoming certified in 2018. I had the honor to study with several more esteemed  teachers among them Peter Levine, Pat Ogden, Janina Fisher, Steven Hoskinson, Kathy Kain, Alaine Duncan and Steve Terrell. 

In my 37 years of practice in the US and throughout Europe, I have worked with individuals and conducted various personal growth workshops, among them, TheWealthyMind™, an NLP based program and Chi Nei Tsang, a Taoist healing system that addresses the body-mind-spirit connection through hands-on practices, meditation and qigong. I am fluent in English and Polish.

In my free time, I love to hike, dance, attend Authentic Relating events and continue to study.
