I’m Alejandra Hernandez, the founder of Expand For Light.


My work is rooted in presence, intuition, and the wisdom of the body.

I support people navigating transition, emotional intensity, or moments when clarity feels just out of reach. My approach is gentle and grounded, creating space for the nervous system to settle so inner guidance can emerge.

I am a Grand Master Reiki Channel (Level 5), trained in Bali. My background includes Healing Touch and Craniosacral Therapy, as well as training in sound healing and Ashtanga, Hatha, and Kundalini yoga, studied in Rishikesh, India.

I work with Reiki, healing touch, craniosacral therapy, and meditative energy work. Sessions may be conversational or quiet, supportive or deeply restorative. Nothing is forced and nothing is rushed.

My intention isn’t to fix or push change, but to support reconnection with self-trust, regulation, and direction. I believe the body already knows the way; my role is to listen, support, and hold a steady, compassionate container.

I’m based in Chicago and offer sessions online and in person.

This work honors your timing, your pace, and your lived experience.
