MeetAlexis Arvidson: an acupuncturist, herbal medicine practitioner, teacher of wellness and stylish mama of two. I met Alexis soon after moving to Ulster County through a wonderful entrepreneurial group of mama’s. I was struck by her natural beauty and calm ease of self.

With the turn of the year, a focus on new intensions and self-care it felt nothing more than natural to collaborate on an ELEVEN SIX Women story with Alexis to set us off on the right note...
