Alexandra Crossman
Hi, my name is Alexandra – founder of Rhema Love and I’m excited to have you here on my website! I love being outside, doing every kind of sports possible (especially snowboarding & biking) & being with people. I love life and I always try to focus my energy into living it to the fullest and now, I am dedicated to helping others on their own journeys.
But I wasn’t always able to be like this.
I grew up on a mountain in Vermont, with all kinds of opportunities to travel, learn, experience. I even went to school for nature health and massage therapy. I’m from a white, middle class family & despite all the opportunities and supposed freedom on the outside, I had a very dark side to my life. My grandfather, a well-known pastor in a town not too far off, molested me as a young child & an uncle, by marriage raped me and also sold me in sex trafficking at the ages of 5&6. He used me in porn (photos), kiddie porn, and a strip tease on stage, during those 2 years. My family didn’t know while he snuck me out at night & quickly back in broad daylight. My aunt later divorced him for other reasons. When he left, I blocked all those experiences from my memory until much later. I a huge hole in my heart, though I always had a light hearted face/demeanor.
In my later teens, I grew stronger & with the help of lots of people, I began to see it, forgive, let go, speak up. To be honest, I was largely motivated by pain & the fact that things were not working out for me. In quiet moments when I thought of how much I wanted to contribute to the world instead of just walking around every day with an aching heart, I decided to take my life back.
Turning trauma to growth
After years of counseling, I took on self-development programs that helped me further deepen my vision, and made it easier for me to see what I could create and who I could be if I let go of what my past made me think of myself. I’ve been able to recreate myself, contribute and live more, and now, helping you (and myself) regain freedom & power is what I live for :)
p>I want to show you that you can have an amazingly full life no matter what you've gone through. Welcome to your safe place.
