About Dr. Lexi Lindell

Dr. Alexia Lindell is a Doctor of Acupuncture licensed by the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine. She is board certified as a Diplomate of Acupuncture from the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). Alexia graduated from the New England School of Acupuncture (NESA) at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (MCPHS), where she earned a Master’s degree in Acupuncture with a focus on both Chinese and Japanese styles. She completed her professional clinical doctorate at the Pacific College of Health Sciences (PCHS) with a focus on integrative healthcare.

 

Alexia has extensive experience in orthopedic sports medicine allowing her to treat a wide range of acute and chronic musculoskeletal disorders as a pain management expert. She enjoyed her internship working in the Chronic Pain Clinic at the VA hospital in Bedford MA, where she developed her skills in providing relief for veterans from an extensive range of conditions including PTSD, headaches, migraines, and digestive disorders.

 

Alexia also has considerable experience working with children and teens. During her clinical internship at the Integrative Pediatric Pain Unit at Boston Medical Center, she had the opportunity to treat acute illnesses such as respiratory and sinus infections, allergies and asthma, and OB/GYN concerns. She witnessed the growing epidemic of emotional ailments in youth populations and was able to help her patients effectively manage their emotional responses.

 

Prior to entering the field of East Asian Medicine, Alexia served as an active-duty member in the U.S. Coast Guard. After attending the U.S. Coast Guard Academy where she received her B.S. in political science, she earned the rank of Lieutenant and led military teams through high- risk operations with a focus on search & rescue and counter narcotic missions.

 

Toward the end of her military career, Alexia became increasingly interested in yoga. What started as a simple exercise class, quickly developed into a much deeper self-care practice eventually leading to becoming a certified yoga instructor, and later a breathwork facilitator and mindfulness coach. This exploration into Eastern wellness practices ultimately led her to acupuncture. Alexia skillfully pulls from all of her unique training, knowledge and experience to approach each patient’s needs with an integrative, individualized perspective to achieve optimal healthcare outcomes.

Aside from practicing acupuncture and yoga, Lexi loves to catch up with friends, travel, read, rock climb, play with her adorable cats, and garden!
