Hi, I’m Alex Corder, and I want to welcome you to Thrive Wellness Therapy.
This space was born out of a simple but deeply personal need: I wanted to create a space where I finally fit in.
For years, I tried to navigate mainstream wellness spaces that felt like they were built for everyone but me. As a queer, neurodivergent person, I struggled to see myself reflected in the advice, the philosophies, or even the people around me. The spaces I turned to for healing often left me feeling more unseen, more out of place, and more disconnected than ever.
There was so much advice—so much noise—that didn’t resonate:
The shallow, regurgitated “one-size-fits-all” tips.
The spiritual bypassing that promised to fix all of your problems, if you just peace & love enough.
The constructs of heteronormativity, neurotypical ideals, and whitewashed wellness that didn’t speak to my reality.
I felt stuck, floundering in a system that wasn’t built for me.
The Journey to Thrive
Over time, I realized something: I wasn’t the problem—the system was.
The patterns of my childhood, the expectations of society, the wellness industry itself—none of it was designed for people like me. I wasn’t broken. But I also wasn’t thriving.
So, I got curious. I dove into understanding myself—my brain, my patterns, my body, and my emotions. I learned about the unique ways neurodivergent brains operate and how that impacts our ability to thrive in spaces designed for the neurotypical. I unraveled the threads of societal expectations, deconstructed who I thought I should be, and started building a life that felt authentic, aligned, and expansive.
Through this process, I transformed every aspect of my life. And now, I’m here to help you do the same.
Who This Space Is For
Thrive Wellness Therapy is for anyone who’s ever felt like the spaces around them weren’t made for them.
✨ It’s for the person who feels stuck in cycles of survival but longs to thrive.
✨ It’s for the individual who’s ready to stop shrinking themselves to fit into systems that don’t work.
✨ It’s for anyone seeking healing and growth outside the limits of heteronormativity, neurotypical constructs, spiritual bypassing, or whitewashed wellness.
This space is where you can stop pretending and start becoming.
What I Offer:
Here’s how I help you reconnect with your true self and build a life where thriving feels possible:
🌿 Targeted Body Massage: Relief for chronic tension, stress, and pain—because your body deserves care, too.
🌿 Somatic Massage: A safe space to release stored trauma and reconnect with your body on a deeper level.
🌿 Life Coaching: Together, we’ll explore your patterns, rewrite your narrative, and create a life that feels aligned and authentic.
Why This Matters
Healing isn’t just about fixing pain or solving problems—it’s about rediscovering who you truly are when you stop conforming to systems that don’t serve you. It’s about unlearning patterns of shrinking yourself and stepping into the full, expansive version of who you’ve always been.
I don’t believe in telling you to “just try harder” or “stick to a routine that works for everyone else.” I believe in meeting you where you are, helping you feel seen, and creating a path that honors your uniqueness.
