Welcome to the Bridge Experience
Embody Transformation Through The Nervous System & Somatic Body
2 Workshops over 2 weekends that will blow your mind and shift everything (Just read the Social Proof here).
Culminating over 20 years of research with 22 personal growth modalities, The Bridge Experience involves 2 back to back in-person workshops designed to transform your nervous system, liberate your somatic body of stored memories and traumas, and step into your most empowered self.
Social Proof
The Body Remembers What the Mind Forgets
Through these practices and group challenges, we create group simulations that reveal how your primary nervous system response impacts how you show up in life.
Our coaches observe everything you do—how you interact, get comfortable, get uncomfortable, sit, stand, think, walk, and talk.
We provide objective feedback on what's not working, revealing where your ego is keeping you stuck, and where your opportunity for massive breakthrough lies.
Our unique process helps you identify and address your blind spots, unlocking permanent change. Join us for an experience to apply and embody every concept learned, and walk away changed on a cellular level.
Together we explore:
- How can I cultivate more safety within my body and nervous system in my every day?
- In the face of a stressor, what is my primary nervous system response?
- How do I sustainibly get outside of my comfort zone and expand the capacity to hold all of my desires?
- What triggers me?
- What wisdom is my body giving me?
- Where am I giving away my power?
- How do I take powerful actions towards what I actually desire?
- What truly matters to me?
The Types of People Who Come To Our Bridge Events
Many of our participants come back to do the Bridge Experience several times over.
The experience is not guided just by the somatic experiences themselves, but how they translate into the room.
- Who triggers who?

“In the 6 months after Bridge & Extreme I've had my first 20K client and I'm finally feeling able to EXPERIENCE all the life and pleasure I've dreamt of and desire. A complete 360* shift.”
-Nothing could have prepared me for the complete (and lovingly) ass kicking that Bridge and Extreme was for me. It was so uncomfortable, scary, amazing, empowering, fun, joyful, loving and oh my goodness the best thing I've ever invested in.
In six months my whole life has changed - In the best of ways.
It has been a foundational move- my mind, body and mindset had been re-wired and shifted from being in victim mode, fluctuation between All In Flying High to complete collapse, depression and high anxiety. Today I lead my live in my power, dignity and in so much love. I feel more ME, more powerful and MORE, than I've ever been - In my life. To ANYONE that was in my situation - You had all the answers and capability - But couldn't move the needle, couldn't move in to action - Bridge and Extreme is EVERYTHING you need.
“Bridge took me from a depressed Mother of 5 Crying Myself to Sleep at night to a Thriving Master Coach and Successful 6 Figure Business Woman”
-Walking into the Bridge I was so insecure, I felt like I was broken and hated who I was. I was in an abusive relationship and didn’t know how myself and my 5 kids would ever get out.
This workshop made me fall in love with myself again, it inspired me into alignment with my souls purpose.
The Nervous System tools and energetic space I cleared helped unlock powerful intuitive gifts. I still use the tools to this day.
I now have thriving relationships and am a fun AF Mum. I became a Master Coach and I help Women Reclaim their Power and Awaken their Magic just like I did in the Bridge Room! I literally travel the world with my family doing something that lights my soul on Fire ❤️🔥 You get to live a life that Inspires your damn self - Get your Butt in there.
“Attending Bridge and Extreme has 10x my life in so many areas. My relationship with my Mamá has changed and allowed me to see her for who she is without trying to fix or change her. I left my 9 to 5 to fully be in my coaching and living the life that I align with.”
-I cannot tell you how many personal development courses, retreats, or workshops I have attended, that I have spent tens of thousands of dollars on. Bridge and Extreme are by far the most life changing!
All areas of my life have shifted in the most beautiful fashion. It is not just a workshop where you just sit and take notes. It is an actual workshop where you are learning by doing all different types of exercises to help you grow and expand.
You will learn about your patterns and how your body reacts to life. You will walk away with tangible tools that you can use daily to help you live a more aligned abundant life. You will see life form a more juicy lens. If you have an opportunity to attend The Bridge Experience... Run! And bring your partner or a friend with you. I promise you will NOT regret it!
"After Bridge, my reality changed quickly in ways I never thought possible. I started signing clients for $5,000 and $10,000+ (from few hundred prior), made huge advancements in my career, and was able to genuinely connect with others to build community around me that I knew had my back."
-There’s no way you’ll walk out of this workshop as the same person who walked in. The Bridge is an experience that will stick with you for the rest of your life in the best of ways!
Since I completed the Bridge Experience, there hasn’t been a day in my life that I haven’t shown up as a more empowered, aware, loving human being.
I was truly shown all the areas I was out of alignment with who I claimed to be and desired to be. It was challenging, and deeply humbling, but through those weekends, I was not only shown those blind spots, but given the opportunity to release so many ways of being that didn’t serve me, and receive the tools to take control of my life whenever old patterns started to kick in.
The result? Every area of life was transformed, because I was showing up as a more empowered, naturally embodied leader everywhere I went.
The Bridge isn’t just some workshop, this is an experience that will stick with you for the rest of your life in the best of ways!
“I went from almost not doing Bridge & Extreme because I thought I didn’t fit the mold of a leader, to being a chosen member of the first ever Bridge Facilitator Apprenticeship Family.”
-After decades of personal development work, I continued to struggle with feeling unsure about where I fit in & what I had to offer. I had a tremendous amount of self awareness, but I didn’t yet understand that I was not able to progress past the state of my body's, or rather, my nervous system’s, capacity to be with whatever was showing up in my life. All of that shifted because of the experiential learning that Bridge & Extreme offer.
I now remember how to maintain and/or regain my dignity in the face of any circumstances. This seemingly small change in perspective has truly changed the trajectory of my life.
I went from almost not doing Bridge & Extreme because I thought I didn’t fit the mold of a leader, to being a chosen member of the first ever Bridge Facilitator Apprenticeship Family.
For me, Bridge isn’t a workshop, it's a new paradigm and way of life. Once you experience the freedom and sacred responsibility that come with our innate power to choose, life becomes a much more interesting ride!
"Before I struggled with self-doubt, seeking permission to lead. Now, I stand in full ownership of my power, knowing my value and worth. My romantic relationship has deepened, I signed four clients and feel more confident and alive than I ever have. Get in the room and experience the change for yourself"
-I've always had the qualities of a natural leader, but I seldom fully embraced them. It felt like I didn’t truly believe I deserved it, I was always seeking permission to step into that role. That room gave me a foundational sense of safety within my body - an ability to walk through life exactly as I am. Now, I know my place, I know where I belong, and I understand the immense value I bring when I fully believe in myself and stand in my power. In the four weeks after Bridge and Extreme, I signed four new clients. I’m no longer the timid person afraid to be seen.
I used to be the rock for everyone else—always giving, never needing anything in return. Now, I ask for and receive help and support, which allows others to give back to me. This has deepened so many of my relationships and brought immense joy to all involved.
Embrace your leadership, own your power, and watch as your life and relationships flourish in ways you never imagined.

Alexi Panos + Preston Smiles will facilitate the workshop in a way that is clear, powerful, and energized. The interactive structure of the room includes a series of life-altering processes including: transformative distinctions, creative interactions, challenges that induce cellular learning and personalized coaching which will stretch and expand old limitations.

Our workshop is intense. We don’t recommend having long commutes to and from the area where The Bridge Experience will be held. If you can stay at a nearby hotel or with a friend that would be ideal.
You’ll have homework assignments on Saturday evening and will need downtime to complete these assignments, so please plan accordingly.
Bring all of yourself. Your courage, your strength, your humility, your willingness. Also, bring snacks that you will be able to access on the breaks. Bring money for your 90 minute dinner break, and a refillable water bottle. We’ll have notebooks and pens available for you.
During the 2 day workshop and the 3 day workshop, you’ll want to be comfortable. Wear clothes that you can move in and don’t mind sitting on the floor in. Ladies, we recommend that you not wear skirts, as there is a lot of movement involved. Bring comfortable shoes or socks to wear in the workshop. Dress in layers so you can prepare for fluctuations in temperature. You will be required to dress up a bit for your Graduation, so please plan accordingly. We recommend dressing as if you are planning to go out to a nice restaurant.
Yes this is EXTREME, because it’s EXTREME LEADERSHIP. This training is set up to annihilate your ego, rip down the identities and masks you’ve become accustomed to, and have you be in the QUEST of WHO YOU REALLY ARE.
While we will absolutely push you to the edges of your comfort zone, your safety will not be put in danger. All of our exercises are specifically designed to have you face off with the parts of yourself that you will often feel like you want to run and hide from—> THAT’S the intention of this training.
You are not forced to participate in ANY of the activities, however, we have set this entire training up to support you in having your greatest realization of your DEEPEST TRUTH. That WILL require that you step in when you don’t feel like it, and trust the process even when the ego is scared.
There is a reason why this workshop is known worldwide as the BEST personal development/leadership program available across the globe. It is built to get you extraordinary RESULTS…which requires extraordinary effort on your part.
You are not permitted to take any mind-altering substances while participating in The Bridge Experience, unless prescribed by a doctor. This means no alcohol, drugs of any kind, as well as cigarettes. If you cannot commit to this, please don’t commit to the program.
You will be expected to complete your LAUNCH KIT prior to 8am on your first day of The Bridge Experience.
You will be expected to show up on time and respect time on all breaks.
You are expected to show up with a beginners mindset. If you feel you “know it all already” then there is no room to learn anything new.
You are expected to HAVE A BLAST! Transforming your life is an incredible undertaking, and we believe it should be celebrated!
