Our Founders
Meet Alexis & Janelle
Soulsway was created through 20 years experience working with A-list celebrities, Fortune-100 Execs, and Adults and Teens around the world.
Through their experience as expert instructors in the wellness industry, our founders became curious (and constructively critical) about the shadow values of wellness -- and the ways in which fitness spaces can often perpetuate unhealthy ideals, promote stereotypes and stoke insecurities. Utilizing their own lived experiences in the industry, science-backed modalities and trusted frameworks, they began to forge a new way of movement for themselves and their clients. Thus, soulsway was born.
Alexis Artin
Alexis Artin is an embodiment teacher, multi-certified and licensed coach based in Los Angeles.
She began dancing at the age of four and has since shaped global fitness brands and created game-changing wellness experiences for an array of students and celebrity clients alike. Combining movement, meditation, somatic science and trusted coaching frameworks, her approach to wellness is holistic—focusing distinctly on mending the bridges between the heart, mind, body and soul.
As the co-founder of soulsway and the creator of The Soul-Body Paradox, Alexis is ultimately a student of human behavior. From her private practice to her public classes, she spends her time exemplifying the soul-body's natural power and capacity to self-heal.
Janelle Marra

Currently based in Florida, Janelle has led retreats, workshops and classes around the world for independent collectives and global brands.

Janelle maintains a Bachelor's in Psychology from the University of Southern California, alongside trainings in birth-work, trauma-informed somatics and sensual embodiment.
