Rest and revolution
My name is Aleks Slijepcevic. I am a meditation and journaling teacher, currently teaching online classes on Insight Timer — a free mindfulness app — where I also host a number of courses and pre-recorded meditations. I have been fortunate to teach both meditation and yoga classes since 2015 and am a 200-hour certified practitioner.
I am a Certified Life Coach and an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, passionate about mental health and the authentic, embodied resources available to us for greater overall wellness. I am also an avid journal writer and published author of The Stories We Tell: How to Start Shifting Your Limiting Beliefs So That You Can Live an Authentic Life.
I was the host of Soul Sessions, a podcast about mental health and the merging of spiritual practices with the clinical model of wellness. I loved interviewing practitioners who support mental health in unique ways and highlighting amazing individuals monthly on the podcast. All archived episodes of the podcast are available here on my website.
For the past decade, I have contributed health and wellness content to a number of platforms, including Medium, Elephant Journal, Elite Daily, and Sivana Spirit, on the topics of yoga in the real world, as well as spirituality and self-development in the age of anxiety and depression. I have regularly contributed to Lifehack, and was the founder of a free online publication for eager creatives, Souhl.
I currently share more writing and reflections on Substack. I am an avid traveler and adventure-seeker; and find the best inspiration on a dirt trail and in Nature.
Get to know me
-
I am passionate about authenticity and wholesome living – the kind that integrates all nuances and complexities of being a human, creating space for all lived experiences and realities.
Being human is just as messy as it is beautiful. I love holding and creating space in that liminal middle, where all parts of ourself come alive and yearn to be free.
-
My love language are words and writing, and it is how I make sense of my world, as well as my emotions and thoughts. I love sharing this modality with others who are also looking for ways to create meaning in their lives.
-
I’m an avid hiker, traveler, and book collector. I move around a lot and have learned that putting down roots is equally as important as growing my branches. I’m an immigrant, a refugee, and the product of a resilient heart.
-
I value rest and revolution, sometimes in the same day; and I love the art of possibility, as well as choosing the path least trodden. You can catch me on a dirt trail or looking up towards the sky, any day.

Why Soulful Care Exists
At Soulful Care for Wholesome Living, my vision is to create a coaching practice that equips individuals with authentic, embodied tools to navigate the complexity of modern life—without bypassing the discomfort it brings. I envision a future where people feel safe, seen, and empowered to meet all parts of themselves—including fear, shame, and doubt—with compassion and curiosity. Through mind-body integration and parts-informed coaching, I strive to cultivate a space where clients can return to themselves, deepen their self-trust, and experience a true sense of home within. My work is grounded in inclusivity, professionalism, and a deep respect for the messiness of being human.
Soulful Care for Wholesome Living’s mission is to serve individuals seeking a deeper connection to themselves in order to experience a sense of homecoming, inner spaciousness, and renewed wonder in their mind-body relationship by guiding them through nervous system awareness, somatic exploration, and compassionate inquiry into all parts of the self.
I’m so happy you’re here
