Welcome back to Spotlight hustle, where we celebrate Black women who are reclaiming rest, redefining power, and rebuilding the world in their image.
Today, we’re spotlighting Anne Alexis — holistic healer, global educator, and founder of Anne Alexis Holistic. Her work is more than wellness — it’s liberation. Through her practice, Anne helps women unlearn generational limits, reconnect to their power, and heal from the inside out.
Roots of Courage and Compassion
Anne Alexis was raised in a home filled with justice, love, and radical authenticity.
Her childhood was shaped by deep conversations about liberation and the belief that love — in all its forms — could change the world. Surrounded by strong women, Anne learned that life wasn’t about waiting for permission. It was about creating impact with courage and compassion.
But her worldview shifted when her family moved from Washington, D.C. — once known as Chocolate City — to the South. There, she was confronted with racism, judgment, and limited expectations. “DC taught me Black pride. The South tried to teach me smallness,” she recalls. “But I refused to accept that story.”
That experience became the foundation of her purpose — to help others shed false narratives and reclaim their wholeness.
From Psychology to Paris: A Journey of Self-Discovery
Anne’s professional path started in psychology — but her intuition guided her elsewhere.
After attending culinary school at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, she began to understand the power of food as medicine and the connection between emotional health and physical nourishment. “Culinary arts became spiritual arts for me,” she shares. “It wasn’t just about what we eat — it was about how we live, think, and heal.”
Her studies took her across continents — learning from chefs, shamans, and healers who taught her ancient practices for restoring balance. That global journey became the foundation for her work today: helping people access the power within their own bodies and minds to transform their lives.
From Grief to Growth: The Birth of Anne Alexis Holistic
When her father passed away, Anne’s purpose became personal. Watching loved ones struggle with preventable illnesses solidified her calling to teach holistic healing.
She founded Anne Alexis Holistic, a sanctuary for wellness that integrates science, spirituality, and ancestral wisdom. Her mission: to help people heal from the inside out — mind, body, and spirit.
Her sessions go beyond the surface. Anne works with energy, emotion, and intention to release what’s trapped and restore what’s been forgotten. “I want people to experience wholeness,” she says. “To understand that healing isn’t just physical — it’s a spiritual revolution.”
The Breakdown That Became a Breakthrough
Like many visionaries, Anne’s journey wasn’t without pain.
Burnout nearly broke her. “I was pouring into everyone else and forgot to pour into myself,” she admits. “My body and spirit finally said, ‘Enough.”
That moment forced her to redefine what strength meant. She learned to rest, to set boundaries, and to honor her energy as sacred. “Healing isn’t a straight line,” she says. “It’s remembering yourself piece by piece.”
Now, she teaches others the same lesson: you don’t need to break to be powerful — you need to breathe.
Rewriting the Rules of Success
Anne’s mindset today is rooted in freedom.
“I used to think success was about doing more,” she reflects. “Now I know it’s about being more of who you truly are.”
Her greatest evolution came when she stopped accepting limits. “Limits are the oppressor’s greatest tool,” she says. “They keep us small. Once I realized that, I stopped asking for permission. I stopped waiting for validation. I decided I was already enough.”
Through her work, she helps women redefine success not as achievement, but as alignment — where purpose and peace coexist.
Healing as Representation
In an industry still dominated by white voices, Anne stands as one of the few Black Emotion Code practitioners — a space she’s had to carve out for herself.
“I know what it’s like to sit in rooms where our stories aren’t understood,” she says. “That’s why I created my own. I built a space where Black women can heal safely, where our experiences are not just acknowledged but centered.”
Representation, for her, isn’t about optics — it’s about ownership. It’s about building the spaces that never existed for us, and filling them with truth, tenderness, and power.
Life in Flow
Anne’s days are intentional and rooted in rhythm. She starts her mornings at 5 a.m. with meditation and movement. She works with clients across time zones, creates healing programs, and ends her evenings barefoot in the garden — grounding herself in the earth.
“I don’t believe in hustle culture anymore,” she says. “I believe in alignment. When you move in alignment, your energy never lies.”
Why We Love Anne’s Story
Because she reminds us that healing is resistance.
Because she shows that softness can be strength.
Because she proves that when a Black woman rests — she rises.
