Meet Alexandra

Alexandra Shebalin, L.Ac., M.Ac., Dipl. O.M., is a licensed acupuncturist, herbalist, childbirth educator, and fertility coach.

She is devoted to serving women throughout the continuum, from fertility, through matrescence, into menopause and beyond. It is her passion to support women wherever they are on their journey to healing.

Alexandra's unique path to motherhood continues to color how she shows up for women. Her initiation began to take shape when she first heard about unassisted birth. Learning about these concepts propelled her on an endeavor of awakening and unlearning that spanned many years, and led to the unassisted pregnancy and birth of her daughter in the spring of 2025. Becoming a mother solidified the truth of how simple yet powerful birth can be.

Alexandra is inspired by the sacredness of women’s rites of passage. Her interest has led her to become trained in traditional healing methods, Chinese medicine, birth preparation and integration, fertility awareness and natural pregnancy and birth.

 She is here to utilize her experience and knowledge to serve women and their families with devotion.

Please see her offerings page to get a full understanding of how she can serve you best.
