Massage FAQS/POLICIES

Everything you need to know about Lex Lives Real before booking your massage or wellness session.

Welcome to Lex Lives Real — where therapeutic massage, nutritional therapy, and ancestral lifestyle support come together to help you feel and function your best, from the inside out.

I’m Alexa Kuphal, a Licensed Massage Therapist, Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, and the founder of Lex Lives Real LLC. My work blends clinical bodywork, root-cause wellness, and whole-food, off-the-land nutrition — because your body deserves more than surface-level care.

DO YOU WORK WITH ATHLETES?

Absolutely — athletes are a big part of my clientele (and lifestyle!).

I work with: (but no limited too)

  • Pain patterns

CAN YOU HELP WITH SPECIFIC PAIN?

Yes — that’s one of my specialties I like to think. I can’t promise any specific results but…

Common issues I treat:

  • Sciatic and piriformis pain

  • Low back and SI dysfunction

  • Hip restrictions

  • Neck and shoulder tension

  • Rotator cuff issues

  • TMJ tension

  • Postural imbalances

  • Post-surgical restrictions

If you’re unsure what’s causing the pain — we’ll assess, test, and treat accordingly.

*But remember I am not a doctor nor do I diagnose. - Thanks!




DO YOU OFFER NUTRITIONAL THERAPY ON ITS OWN?

Yes! Massage is not required to work with me nutritionally.

Some clients only book:

  • Metabolic health support

  • Gut health & bloating support

  • Carnivore or ancestral lifestyle coaching

  • Blood sugar & hormone balancing

  • Deep dive lifestyle transformation

  • 80-20 introductory program

  • Custom supplement protocols

You can book nutrition sessions online — or ask about combining them with bodywork.

(Hint: it’s powerful.)


CAN I BUY TALLOW SKINCARE AT MY APPOINTMENT?

Yes — and it’s handcrafted in small batches by me.

My formulas include:

  • Grass-fed beef tallow — deeply nourishing & bio-compatible with skin

  • Organic essential oils — for scent & skin support

  • Jojoba oil — technically a liquid wax (not an oxidizing seed oil), pressed from the jojoba shrub native to the Southwest

No synthetics.

No fragrance oils.

No hormone disruptors.

No cheap filler oils.

Just whole, intentional ingredients — for real skin health.

Available:

  • Whipped Tallow Balm ( 4 oz → net weight 8 oz)

  • Everything Balm ( 1 oz)

  • Tallow Soaps (sold in studio only → they sell out fast!)

  • Tallow Lip Balm

  • Seasonal or limited releases

A perfect add-on for healing skin — especially for clients exposed to harsh chemicals like concrete, athletes, farmers, eczema, postpartum mommas, dry skin in general, you name it!
