I came to Alika feeling completely empty -- disconnected from myself, numb, and unable to feel love inside. From the very beginning, he was incredibly kind and generous with his presence. He took the time to talk to me, to truly listen, and then asked me one question -- just one -- that went straight to my heart. It was exactly what I had come for, even though I couldn't name it myself. His golden hands worked with such depth and care that I left not just lighter -- but smiling. I felt like I had come back to myself. I could feel love again. It was nothing short of a miracle. Thank you, Alika -- and thank you, Universe, for guiding me to you. read more

As a health and fitness professional myself; CMT/ CPT, I really appreciate great body work... Alika is truly exceptional in every way. Between his hands-on, compassionate approach to healing and knowledge of the human body, mind and soul, his sessions are practically impossible to replicate. The way he combines the mental with the physical aspect, is truly life altering. He is a listener, always asking about your problem areas, mental as well as physical. He goes one step further than any therapist I've worked with previosly by uncovering possible root causes that could be creating the issue and working with you to address it. It's rare to find someone like Alika who possesses knowledge of the human form from all angles and a toolkit of techniques to heal it. As soon as you meet Alika, it's clear that his calm and collected approach to bodywork stems from within and is incredibly authentic. He cares about others, takes a genuine interest in their lives, shows sincerity, and he seems to really enjoy helping others grow. It is a true pleasure to know him. intuitive/ knowledgeable deep STRONG bodywork gentle relaxing bodywork incredible guidance read more

Alika is a truly gifted, intuitive, talented therapist. Wish I met him earlier, as I'm moving. He immediately connects with you on an emotional level. He has a calming demeanor and is in touch with his spirituality, he is an intelligent, health conscious, caring and a passionate person, who takes his time to understand you and your needs and the reason for your visit. He then tailors a treatment plan accordingly. He has extensive knowledge in multiple areas, including yoga, healing, massage etc. He is also trained in multiple massage modalities. Which is extremely rare to come across. He was able to resolve issues I had and for that, I am forever grateful. Thank you Alika! He is also very affordable, which is rare in this industry and allows you to visit more frequently. Do yourself a favor and book an appointment, you will not regret it, trust me. read more

I can't say enough good things about Alika and his massage expertise. When the massage therapist I've had for several years changed careers, the journey to find another of equal calibre was daunting until I found Alika. Immediately upon meeting Alika during my first appointment, his energy embodied compassion and understanding. He has a healing touch and an intuition that is often hard to find in a massage therapist. He quickly zoned in on my problem areas, working away my knots and stress with amazing care. Right away it was clear that his skill level was beyond the majority of other therapists. I found myself feeling more grounded and calm for the next couple of days after my massage, than i had ever felt post massage. If you are looking for a high quality therapist, I wouldn't look any further. Alika is the best. read more

I've been working with Alika for over a decade and could not be happier. He is the most amazing massage therapist/body worker. He's trained in a variety of modalities and can read the body very well, I always leave feeling so much better. His knowledge of the body and movement is vast, I can ask questions about different forms of training and he's always open to sharing what he's experimenting with. I've also recommended him to over a dozen friends and family and all of us sing his praises! I'm grateful to have him as a therapist and life coach in my recent years of emotional growth and transition. He is intuitive, intelligent, perceptive, and compassionate. Oh, and he's incredibly affordable, given that other people in his industry are pricier and not nearly as talented :) read more

Alika is a master of his craft. I have been Alika's client for over 11 years and have always enjoyed my visits with him. He's gotten so popular though that I need to book my appointments weeks in advance. All good, he's worth the wait. read more

Alika is beautiful on the inside as well as the out. He came into my life a year and a half ago and has impacted my path in such a deep and meaningful way and I am forever changed by what he does. He holds space for others beautifully and has insight and perspective that is valuable. This is a man who checks his ego at the door and shows up with sincere authenticity. The love and gratitude runs deep for this unique and rare gem of a man. read more

I'd been looking for a healer and guide who holds the Divine Masculine in a very sacred way for many years. I must say that when I met Alika in person, after reading about his offerings and seeing some of his videos with Nadine, that his presence is just as honest, pure, and grounded as I'd sensed initially from seeing his photos. He's an embodied, electric, spiritual man whose groundedness makes the experience of being supported by him even more magical. Alika created a sacred container of inquiry and support for my personal and life goals and reflected such simple, yet profound truths back to me in our sessions, that I can't help but thank the Universe for pointing me in the direction of his offerings. As a body worker he is very sensitive to my every need. I found myself consciously allowing myself to practice the lost art of receiving..anybody relate?...Ladies? One of the things I appreciate most about Alika and Ecstatic Awakening's supportive coaching style in the way boundary setting and honoring both the receiver and healer's limits is woven into the session. This made for a mutually clear and respectful space to explore the endless healing possibilities. The fact that Alika has a strong history and practice in a variety of spiritual, health and well-ness paths only adds to the richness of his natural, simple and down to earth wisdom teachings. Special thanks to Nadine, whom I know from years back, for sharing her heartfelt reasons for why she works with this strong and gentle man. read more

Finding Ecstatic Awakenings has totally changed my life. Before working with Alika, I was extremely disconnected from my sexuality. I had gotten to a horrible place with it and didn't see a way out. Alika has helped me work through so many blockages and discover aspects of myself that I didn't know existed (or thought had simply died). He is incredibly solid, supportive, and loving. He is excellent at working with you to gauge exactly what you are needing. Now that it has been about six months, I am at a completely new and exciting place with my sexuality. I am so much better able to connect with others and feel my own sexual energy. Also, it has been amazing getting to know Nadine. Wow. She is an inspiring woman. The way that she can help others connect with and heal themselves is so powerful. Her ability to see and honor the divine masculine inspired me to foster the same in myself. I am so thankful for both Alika and Nadine! read more

The work I experienced with Alika was profound and life changing.  It still is. His ability to hold space, ask deepening questions, reflect what I am saying and connect with me somatically, awakened a dormant part of my femininity.  Since our work,  I noticed that I am able to connect with myself and others in deeper and more expanded and spacious ways.  I am able to celebrate and not hide myself as a woman, as a mother, as a sexual being, a divine being....and so much more.  I have emerged as a community leader and cannot stop (not do I want to) the flow of wisdom and beauty that now freely flows through me.  It helped me to live in a beautiful way in which I am living in the flow of a beautiful life with the structures I need to make it easy and fruitful.  I know I can contribute some of this development to some of my previous work before Alika, but he catalyzed all these parts in my field of awareness and helped me to own my own feelings and make commitments to myself and others, which I had not been as adept at before.  I have never experienced a healer like Alika before or since him and highly recommend him to those looking for living from a place of embodied empowerment and beauty.... Blessings, Shanta Marie read more

Alika was and is a blessing in my life in so many ways. He has been guiding me through my healing and awakening process by giving me tools so that I can learn about myself and my values. He is able to speak to my heart and makes me realize so many deep truths about who I am and life in general. I was finally able to listen to my body instead of the voices in my head. I'm learning to trust my intuition without getting lost in it. I felt sensations I've never felt before and was able to find my own power to draw some long needed boundaries in my life. He is a loving and serious healer who truly cares about your healing journey and gives you tools for you to do the work yourself. I have already recommended him to 3 friends of mine with very different traumas and all have had amazing results. Thank you so much Alika It's an honor to learn from you constantly read more

What started with booking a couples massage, turned into a path to reconnect with myself through somatic therapy, body work, and guided journey. Over the past several months Alika has created a safe space for me to address deep trauma that had kept me from living my best life. He is exceptionally professional yet has a calm and comfort about him that allowed me to open up. He does more than listen, he provides wisdom at every turn and has provided me with tools and techniques to find my own confidence and calm. He has helped me identify my values and has inspired me to live up to them. This journey with Alika has also helped me develop deeper connections with my husband. After nearly two decades together, it helped deepen our intimacy and sense of wonder. Alika is also a gifted massage therapist and has helped me connect with my own body. His massages tune into exactly what my body needs. He had a clear sense that the tension in my body is not simply physical and is helping me address it. Alika's mind-body-spirit approach was exactly what I needed at the exact right time in my life. I am grateful to have found his guidance and recommend EA to individuals and couples looking for more life in their lives. read more

I am so grateful for Alika's existence. He is a beautiful light being that has helped me tremendously on my journey to wellness. With his intuition and kind spirit, he gets to the root of issues both physical and emotional and coaxes them to the surface to be healed. I can't thank him enough. All are blessed that get to experience his magic. read more

Alika has been a terrific massage therapist, mobility trainer and life coach. He and I have worked together on physical, spiritual and emotional levels. Since I began working with him I've seen a reduction in physical pain, improved sleep and an overall feeling of emotional and spiritual wellness. Whether you are looking to move better or feel better, I would recommend working with Alika! read more

The past few weeks have been difficult for most of us but especially for me who went through a breakup during the lockdown. Alika came recommended by a friend and my god is he gifted. The few video phone consultations I had not only helped me to overcome this pain faster and easier than I ever thought but he assisted with so much more, such as mind body connection exercises, home fitness workouts and health advice. I felt like I knew him for ever and he truly is professional , reliable and very very helpful. He Is very passionate about his work. Thanks for everything! John read more

I honestly don't have the words to express how much admiration and love I have for Nadine and Alika. I would like to just say that the experience I had with them was by far, the most healing of any work I've done, in my life thus far. I will attempt to explain :) My husband and I were referred to Ecstatic Awakenings by a good friend. My husband and I have been together for seven years and we have been struggling for the past few, wondering if it was time to separate. We were both lacking clarity and expression and I found myself curious to explore with other people and couldn't make a decision as to what I really needed. We came to them in an intense moment, and they were very present and available. We scheduled an in-person session within a week, and they were very accommodating with timing. Nadine was very easy to speak with on the phone, and I instantly felt heard. I felt the same after we met in person. When both my husband and I spoke, I felt like both Nadine and Alika were listening on a very deep level. For me and my husband both, there has been a sense of familiarity with these two. Their ability to build rapport in such a short period of time is rather astounding. I've never felt so comfortable, right off the bat! They have this perfect, divine dynamic. Alika is incredibly masculine, grounded and present. Nadine has this nurturing, feminine energy that is so calm, gentle and supportive. They're both very loving and work together so well. My husband and I certainly have more work to do with Ecstatic Awakenings, but we've dove in pretty deep at this point. We're feeling more connected and open than ever. We're communicating in a new way, and reaching new levels of understanding. I could go on and on, but the most important words to convey what we experienced, I already mentioned. It was a profound healing experience and I can only imagine this will continue. Mind you, it's been less than one month since we initially met in person and we've already experienced desirable results. I highly recommend working with Nadine and Alika if you are struggling with your partner or sexuality, and you are ready to move into a new space of openness and connection. I can't speak much about their rate/pricing because I believe this work is invaluable. read more

I have been working with Alika on intimacy issues related to prior sexual trauma. His skill and professionalism have made for the safest healing environment which has been wholly transformative. There has been a marked improvement following each session, and the cumulative impact has been life changing. I am also a healer; a psychotherapist and trauma specialist, and I find his body oriented approaches are great adjuncts to traditional psychotherapy. He has had rave recommendations from several psychotherapist colleagues who are familiar with his work. read more

I first met Alika at a workshop he taught through Yoga Belly. He is very passionate about dynamic movement and teaching anyone how to improve their health by discovering, enjoying and moving the body in ways that promote strength, flexibility and healing. All my life, I could never do a cartwheel- he taught me how in about 2 minutes! Talking to him, I learned of his other work as a life coach, massage therapist and working with women to recover from sexual trauma and realize their true power, potential, and beauty. I had some particular issues revolving around intimacy that I had been wanting to work through, but honestly, I went to see him because I had another friend in mind who I thought might benefit from his work. After the first session, I realized there was much I could learn from him and have continued. In the short time Alika and I have worked together, I have benefited much from his support, intuition, and guidance. He creates a space for healing and exploration of self that is safe and supportive, but with appropriate boundaries. I have started to notice a difference in my relationship with others and with myself. I have started to become much more clear about what I want from my life and I feel so much less fear and so much more confidence, compassion, and love. I cannot express how grateful I am that our paths have crossed and that I have had the opportunity to work with and learn from such a unique, genuine, and generous soul. read more

RAM is phenomenal and an absolute joy and pleasure to work with. Through massage therapy, behavior modification, life coaching and consistent support, he has helped me get the upper hand on stress reduction, decreasing undesirable thought patterns, lack of self discipline and habitual negative reactivity. I now feel peaceful, lighter, positive, confident and fearless after clearing out the mental muck of outdated beliefs, thoughts and perceptions and releasing fear, anxiety and confusion, along with other things that no longer serve me. My inner self has been literally transformed and I view the future as upward and onward. RAM's multidimensional skills, creativity and knowledge are paramount to creating an adaptable trusting environment. He is energetic and can shift gears with little effort, so you needn't worry if you find yourself emotionally extended, unable to focus or just having a bad day...he can meet you wherever you are. RAM is a complete package and it is highly unlikely that you will meet anyone with such a high caliber of gifts. read more
