Meet Alexis

Alexis Nicklow founded The Butterfly Landing in October 2023 after working closely with bereaved mothers at a local milk bank. As a mother of two middle school -aged boys who were born prematurely and spent many months in the NICU, Alexis is devoted to "paying it forward" and ensuring that other individuals who are navigating the challenges of life have the proper tools for self-care, well-being, resiliency, and even healing. She holds a Bachelor's degree from The College of St. Catherine and has experience working in Medical- Surgical/Oncology and Plastic Surgery. She is certified by The Center for Mind-Body Medicine to facilitate Mind-Body Skills Groups to help accelerate the healing process from psychological trauma and stress. Alexis also volunteers on the gala committee for Children's Surgery International, a Minnesota-based nonprofit focused on strengthening communities by providing medical education and training for health care workers and free surgical services to children around the world. In her spare time, Alexis enjoys spending time with her family, and enjoying nature either by camping, fishing with her boys, hiking, and supporting her boys in their hunting and sporting adventures.
