COURSE AUTHOR
Hi, I'm Alexandra
a registered psychologist living and practicing in Saskatchewan, Canada, where winter takes its time with 6+ months of frost and snow.
It took me time to adjust to prairie winters after moving here over 15 years ago. I am continuing to build a personal frienship with this season. At the same time, in my clinical practice, I have supported clients in walking through winter year after year. I have been deeply interested in the research around seasonal adjustment, resilience, mood, and nervous system support in cold dark months.
Wintering Well brings together what I learned, practiced, and experienced: how our bodies and minds respond to winter, and how we can move through it with more meaning and aliveness.
