Alexis Bloomstrand: A Journey of Healing, Learning, and Empowerment

Inviting You to a Community of Growth, Health, and Well-Being

Hello! My name is Alexis Bloomstrand. I’m a wife, mother, grandmother, gardener, lifelong student, and above all, a passionate, hopeful, and compassionate human being. My journey has been one of continual growth, healing, and learning, and I am excited to share my story and invite you to join me in a vibrant community dedicated to health and well-being.

Discovering the Path to Wellness

My personal transformation began in the fall of 1972, when I attended a lecture on Macrobiotics at the University of Minnesota. Growing up in a Minneapolis suburb, I had followed a typical American diet, yet I suffered from severe eczema, allergies, and migraines. That lecture changed my life—it was my first introduction to healing through diet, and by autumn, I had adopted a strict vegetarian Macrobiotic lifestyle.

Eager to embrace this new way of life, I learned to cook with ingredients like tofu and mochi, many of which had to be made from scratch due to their scarcity in stores. My culinary and health journey led my family to Boston in 1974, where my husband attended Boston College and we studied Macrobiotics under the renowned Michio and Aveline Kushi. Here, I also began teaching natural foods cooking classes across Cape Cod, sharing my passion for healing and healthy living.

Living and Learning in Findhorn, Scotland

Our quest for personal and spiritual growth led us to the Findhorn community in Northern Scotland—a spiritually based eco-community welcoming people of all backgrounds and ages. Inspired by Paul Hawken’s book, The Magic of Findhorn, we embarked on a two-year adventure that profoundly shaped our lives. The values and lessons I gained at Findhorn remain with me today and continue to guide my approach to holistic living.

Embracing Midwifery and Healing Arts

After our time abroad, I planned to study Lay Midwifery in Mexico, but life brought me back to Minneapolis, where I discovered a thriving local community of lay midwives. I began apprenticing and attending births, teaching birthing classes, and supporting families through one of life’s most sacred moments. Healing, cooking, gardening, and ongoing learning became the central themes of my life.

In 1980, I completed Reiki 1 training, followed by Reiki 2 the next year. From 1978 to 1982, I attended births and maintained a Reiki practice in Minneapolis’s Lyn-Lake area, deepening my commitment to holistic health and healing.

Business, Resilience, and Rediscovery

In 1981, my husband founded a custom window business, which I helped grow and operate for 25 years. This experience taught me valuable skills in business, sales, and technology, as well as powerful lessons in resilience—in 2012, the business closed due to the recession, offering me an opportunity to return to my roots in healing and health.

Personal Health Challenges and Insights

My life has been marked by adventure, learning, joy, difficulty, and gratitude. I’ve learned to appreciate both Western and alternative medicine. Western medicine was vital in helping my daughter recover from a broken neck and supporting my husband through stage 4 Lymphoma. My own health journey took a new turn in 2010 when I was diagnosed with an IGG deficiency, explaining years of frequent illness.

I continue to incorporate holistic practices into my life, including a clean diet, regular acupuncture, Reiki, and massage sessions, as well as the use of essential oils for healing and cleaning purposes. The synergy of natural and conventional medicine keeps me healthy, and I am passionate about sharing this approach with others.
