She earned a master’s degree in marine biodiversity and conservation from Scripps Institution of Oceanography, where she researched whale-watching sustainability along the gray whale migratory route. Yoga and hypnosis (meditation with purpose) bring flexibility, expansion, and creativity to the technical and scientific aspects of her life, creating a balance between mind and spirit. In her words, "Yoga and meditation are the tools for becoming an artist of life. When we create awareness of our thoughts and breath we observe the ripple it makes." Alicia has an earthy and eco-conscious vibe that invites you to celebrate being alive in this present moment connecting with nature and all beings.
