Welcome to Latitude Wellness
I’m Alexis Nelson – founder, Usui/Holy Fire® III Reiki Master, intuitive life coach, and passionate advocate for intentional living and healing from the inside out. At Latitude Wellness, I help empathic, high-achieving individuals reconnect with their intuition, release limiting beliefs, and step into a life of purpose, clarity, and emotional freedom.
My journey here wasn’t linear (as it never is!), it was born from burnout and a deep spiritual awakening. For years, I thrived as a nonprofit executive, managing operations, solving problems, and showing up for everyone but myself. The constant striving left me anxious, depleted, and disconnected from what mattered most – my family, my health, and my spirit.
I stepped away from that life with no clear plan except to be present for my children. That leap led to launching my first business, Lat + Long Resource Group, where I still provide strategic and operational support to small businesses and nonprofits. However, behind the scenes, I was unraveling. Even as I hit professional milestones, I felt a persistent emptiness, like I was living someone else’s version of success.
Everything shifted in 2019 when I chose sobriety and began truly feeling my feelings instead of numbing out. That was the catalyst for profound change. I began receiving distance Reiki sessions from a friend and shaman in Vermont, and for the first time, I experienced what it felt like to be held by Spirit. I felt calm, clear, and connected – physically energized, mentally grounded, and spiritually awakened.
One day during a yoga class, my teacher announced she was offering a Reiki I training. She looked at me and said, “You need this in your life.” And she was right. That first class was a powerful energetic upgrade. From that moment on, I was hooked, not just on Reiki, but on the deep knowing that I was meant to help others return to themselves through energy healing, intuitive coaching, and conscious transformation.
Latitude Wellness emerged as an answer to my calling. I combined all my experience – professional leadership, coaching, motherhood, and energy work, into a new kind of offering. I don’t follow a script or offer cookie-cutter programs. I meet you exactly where you are, drawing from my training, intuitive guidance, and the wisdom gained from working with hundreds of clients.
Over the past six years, I’ve built a practice rooted in love, compassion, and fierce curiosity. My intention is to keep learning, growing, and guiding others to do the same. Whether you’re here for Reiki, a sound bath, or transformational coaching, I’m honored to walk alongside you as you reclaim your power, rewrite your story, and embody your truest self.
At Latitude Wellness, this is more than healing—it’s a homecoming. Let’s take this journey together.
