You Happy First

“Do not follow where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and make a trail.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

You Happy First was founded by Alexandra Datwyler in 2015.

Over the years Alexandra’s focus and dedication moved from seeing private clients to predominantly working with corporate clients. It is a great way to reach and support a much greater number of people.

Alexandra and her carefully selected team of therapists work with companies, big and small as well as Facilities and Events Management providers for office buildings, able to offer national coverage in-person as well as online offerings internationally.

You Happy First has worked with: Siemens, Ericsson, MBNL, FORA, Reading BID, Lambert Smith Hampton and many more

Seated Acupressure Massage (On-Site Chair Massage) remains one of the most popular services and it is a great starting point for staff to experience relaxation and stress relief. Yet, the positive effects of such treatments are short-lived if they are not backed up by a wider range of solutions that honour and work with the complexities of the human experience, especially in the current climate of rapid change and much uncertainty.

Alexandra has a keen interest in raising awareness of the need for more holistic, person-centred approaches and solutions to employee well-being.

Her strength lies in merging her various qualifications with the rich wisdom and compassion gained from her own lived experience, some of which includes being neurodivergent and a suicide survivor. It informs her deep, often intuitive understanding of people and her ability to hold them in a safe, non-judgmental space.

Testimonials

"I have been receiving treatment from Alexandra at ‘You Happy First’ for a few years now. I initially partook in a few group meditation sessions and was so incredibly impressed that I moved on to book and enjoy one-to-one meditations. My favourite experience is the body scan which I always left feeling very relaxed and refreshed. Notwithstanding it was my go-to, she always made sure it was unique and had the same impact as the very first session. Working in a high pace and stressful environment, we rarely take time out of our day to properly take stock, allow our minds to disengage, relax and recharge. These sessions provided all of those things. It became part of my two-weekly schedule and I really felt it when I was forced to miss it. Alexandra was always on hand to be flexible when needed and accommodate as much as possible. I cannot recommend Alexandra enough and would not hesitate to encourage you to experience her immense skill and talent. She provided a mental and physical relaxation which I did not know I needed until I started sessions with her." Siobhan, Legal Counsel, Telecommunications

"I had the pleasure of working with Alexandra when she provided office chair massages at our company. She is incredibly approachable and easy to connect with, which made every session comfortable and relaxing for our team. Alexandra has a keen ability to understand clients' needs and tailor her approach accordingly, ensuring a truly personalized and effective experience. Her professionalism and genuine care stood out, making her an invaluable wellness resource. I highly recommend Alexandra to anyone seeking a skilled and empathetic therapist." Anna Nowak, Office Manager, Epoch Capital

"Some people have a unique ability to help you grow, heal, and transform—Alexandra Datwyler MFHT is one of them. She is a Certified BodyTalk Practitioner, Reiki Practitioner & Teacher, Meditation Teacher, and Massage Therapist and Stress Management Trainer offering her incredible services to both individuals and businesses (online and in person). Soon, she’ll also step into a new chapter as a Spiritual Coach, expanding the way she supports others. When I first experienced BodyTalk therapy with Alexandra, I had no idea how powerful it would be. She helped me uncover deeply held fears and beliefs I didn’t even realize I was carrying in me. That awareness has been a game-changer in my personal and professional growth. If you’re looking for someone to support your personal journey or a true “magician” to bring well-being services into your workplace, I cannot recommend her highly enough!" Leena Vinkka-Innes, People Enablement & Culture Manager, Siemens Digital Industries Software

"Alexandra has been a wellbeing rock for me! not only during lockdowns, but also when we went back to 'normal' working life. I get weekly reiki/meditation sessions with Alexandra, as well as her chair massages in the office, I feel so relaxed at every session and cannot thank her enough for her services. I highly recommend every business has Alexandra for every wellbeing related service she offers!" Chan G. Assoc. CIPD, HR Specialist, Telecommunications

"I would highly recommend Alexandra and her amazing services! We have received fabulous feedback on her office massages! Looking forward to her next visit in our Building!" Natalia Soloducha, Hub Events & Community Manager, Cushman & Wakefield

"I have no hesitation in leaving a highly positive recommendation for Alexandra. She is absolutely brilliant at what she does, combining the rare skills of being an extraordinarily good listener and empathetic communicator whilst, at the same time, being highly efficient, organised, reliable and business-like." Chris Williams, Head of Finance,

"Alexandra is fantastic! She is very professional, kind, helpful and always ensures that she tailors the massage to each person's preference. I have had the neck/back/shoulder massage a number of times and always come away feeling refreshed, and relaxed." Amanda Glover, Associate (Employment Law), Clarkslegal LLP

"It gives me great satisfaction to recommend the wonderful Alexandra and her services. I had the pleasure recently of getting a massage from her and I didn’t want to leave. Everything was just right from beginning to end. The music, the mood, her technique.....spot on! Along with her kind and warm nature, this makes her (in my opinion) the ideal therapist! I would definitely advise any office supervisors or managers, that are keen in healthy living and wellness to bring Alexandra into your corporate environment and let her transform it onto a place where not only people can work, but also feel good! 100% Highly recommend Alexandra!" Anbar Sadiq, Member Experience Manager, FORA
