With nearly two decades of experience in France, Canada, and the United States, Alexandra Belhassen offers a uniquely European approach to hands-on therapy, gentle, intuitive, and deeply respectful of the body.
As a French Osteopath, trained through a six-year program at the renowned École Supérieure d’Ostéopathie (ESO) in Paris, she brings a level of precision, subtlety, and holistic understanding that is rare in manual therapy.
Now practicing in Los Angeles as an Osteo Manual Therapist, Alexandra combines her extensive French osteopathic training with a caring, nurturing touch, offering truly personalized care to women, expecting mothers, postpartum families, and newborns.
A Practice Devoted to Women, Mothers & Babies
Alexandra’s work is dedicated to supporting women at every stage of life with a gentle, intuitive, and deeply respectful approach to the body.
She specializes in:
Women’s well-being: support for menstrual cycle discomfort, endometriosis, pelvic tension, hormonal shifts, scar tissue mobility, and chronic pelvic pain.
Prenatal care: easing discomfort, improving mobility, and helping mothers feel aligned and supported throughout pregnancy.
Postpartum recovery: gentle techniques to help the body restore balance and function after birth, whether weeks or years later.
Newborn manual therapy: delicate support for feeding, digestion, sleep, head shape, and early mobility.
Her work honors both the body and the lived experience offering relief, safety, and a sense of being deeply understood.
A Passion for Perinatal & Pediatric Care
With additional training in perinatal manual therapy, Alexandra has worked extensively with expecting mothers, postpartum women, and newborns, offering tailored, gentle techniques to ease discomfort, promote mobility, and support overall well-being during this crucial stage of life. She understands the unique needs of both mother and baby, providing safe, effective care that respects the body’s natural transitions.
Teacher, Mentor & Perinatal Specialist
With a passion for sharing knowledge, Alexandra brought her expertise as a French Osteopath to Canada, where she taught at the Académie d’Ostéopathie de Montréal. There, she contributed to the training of future practitioners in perinatal, gynecological, pediatric osteopathy, as well as manual therapy related to men’s pelvic health.
Her natural ability to communicate and connect makes her an engaging educator and a highly intuitive therapist, always adapting her approach to meet the individual needs of her clients.
More Than a Profession: A Second Nature
For Alexandra, Osteo Manual Therapy is a second nature, deeply shaped by her French osteopathic background and years of hands-on practice. Her gentle touch and holistic understanding of the body reflect the European philosophy she was trained in, honoring movement, rhythm, and the body’s innate capacity to heal.
From supporting hormonal changes and pregnancy to caring for mothers in recovery and newborns in their first weeks of life, her focus is always the same: to bring ease, balance, and lasting well-being through gentle, attentive touch.
Alexandra is not a licensed Doctor of Osteopathy (D.O.) in the United States and does not provide medical or chiropractic services. Her practice is designed to complement, rather than replace, conventional healthcare approaches.
