Hello!

 

I’m Alexis Brunstedt, a creative at heart and a life and business coach driven by the transformative power of purpose. My path here has been anything but conventional, weaving through trials, triumphs, and self-discovery that now inform how I serve my clients.

For years, I was a seeker—drifting, searching for clarity and meaning. After earning my degree, I set out to explore the world, hoping that immersing myself in different cultures might unlock answers I couldn’t yet find within. I taught English in India, ventured deep into the Ecuadorian Amazon to learn from the land, and worked in a German castle for an aristocratic family. Each chapter offered incredible perspectives, but I remained restless, convinced that my purpose was just around the next corner.

​

Life then threw me challenges that changed everything. I experienced the soaring heights of love, the devastation of loss, and the heart-wrenching beauty of placing my daughter in an open adoption. That moment—a blend of profound love and grief—broke me open in ways I couldn’t have anticipated. I searched desperately for a way forward, even Googling “the happiest place in the world to live.” My search led me to Hangzhou, China, but no amount of geographical distance could fill the void within.

​

It was only when I stopped looking outward and turned inward that my transformation began. I confronted my struggles with perfectionism, redefined my self-worth beyond societal standards, and embraced the value of self-compassion. In this journey of intentional living, I discovered coaching—a practice that not only resonated deeply with my own growth but illuminated my calling.

​

Coaching, for me, is about creating a safe, empowering space for others to uncover their strengths and transform uncertainty into momentum. It’s not about giving answers but guiding individuals to trust their intuition and see their potential. I knew I’d found my purpose when I saw how this work could turn pain into power and searching into fulfillment—not just for me but for those I work with.

​

Today, I am grounded in Prescott, AZ, close to my roots and family, including my birth daughter, Joslyn, with whom I share a cherished relationship. I live sober, with a renewed faith and gratitude for every step of my journey. My life is no longer defined by searching but by thriving—and helping others do the same.
