Alexa Dean is a Senior Pregnancy Yoga Teacher and Trainer, Birth Doula, Hypnobirthing Childbirth Educator, and Massage Therapist. With over two decades of experience in the field of women’s wellness and birth, Alexa brings a deeply intuitive, evidence-informed, and heart-centered approach to supporting individuals through the transformative journey of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

She is passionate about empowering women to approach birth as an active, positive, and conscious experience. Through her work, she helps parents cultivate deep body awareness, trust in their innate wisdom, and a sense of agency through education, movement, breath, and mindfulness.

Alexa’s professional journey began with classical Hatha Yoga training at triyoga London and continued with Vinyasa Flow studies in India. She later specialised in Pregnancy and Postnatal Yoga with Nadia Narain and furthered her expertise through the renowned YogaBirth program, which blends yoga with childbirth education. Her prenatal training also includes Khalsa Way (Kundalini-based), developed by Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa, and work with Uma Dinsmore-Tuli. She trained in Baby Yoga with Birthlight, under Françoise Freedman.

As a doula, Alexa was certified under the mentorship of Dr Michel Odent and Liliana Lammers, whose work has profoundly shaped her birth philosophy. She holds certifications in Hypnobirthing from both Katharine Graves and Maggie Howell, and studied DreamBirth® imagery and visualisation techniques with Claudia Raiken. Alexa also trained as a Midwife Assistant at The Farm Midwifery Center in Tennessee, founded by Ina May Gaskin, a global pioneer of natural childbirth.

In addition, she is a qualified massage therapist specialising in fertility, pregnancy, postnatal, and baby massage, offering hands-on care throughout the perinatal continuum. Her ongoing education includes workshops with respected international figures such as Robin Lim, Debra Pascali-Bonaro, Naoli Vinaver, and Angelina Martinez Miranda. She is also a dedicated participant in the True Midwifery Spiral and the Silent Birthkeeper Immersion with Ruth Ehrhardt.

Originally from Argentina with English heritage, Alexa has made London her home since 2001. Her practice is rooted in a profound respect for the body’s intelligence, the sacred nature of birth, and the unique path of every family.
