Alexis Estaras

Alexis a peer with lived experience of autism, mental health challenges, trauma, and recovery. They have gone from being very frozen in life to becoming much more functioning. Meditation has become one of the things that helps them stay well and functioning, and it’s also one of their special interests. They especially love somatic and guided grounding meditations. A lot of what they create comes from their own experiences, their recovery, and the skills they've learned through doing intensive therapy.
