A guitar hangs on the wall, and another leans into a corner in Xanthe Alexis’ living room. Poetry books are neatly stacked on the coffee table. An abundance of morning light and the art placed here and there fills out the vibe of creativity, comfort and quiet joy.

Xanthe, 38, is known throughout the region and well beyond as a healer, an empathic spirit who feels into her work and shares the connections she finds there. Through song and therapy.

She is an integral part of Manitou Wellness Center with her mother, Georgi Gochis and sister Joy Purna. Xanthe also is a songwriter who stirs her audiences with the power of honest lyrics, nimble touch on a six-string, and the strength of her heart-filled voice.

Xanthe sat down with Humanitou and shared insights about these connections, the balance of being a performer who also is an introvert, and her experience as a mother of two teenage sons in today’s landscape of humanity.
