Alexia Inman is a former D1 Beach Volleyball athlete, a mental health advocate, creator and producer of the podcast “Life’s A Beach”,  and on path to become a licensed therapist.

She was a four year starter and two year team captain for the UC Berkeley beach volleyball team from 2017-2021 were she was twice awarded a Pac 12 Pair of the Week award and a three time All Pac 12 Academic Team recipient. She finished off her eligibility in 2022 at Santa Clara University were she was named to the WCC All Conference Second team. 

Due to the difficulty of finding resources to aid with mental health related issues and the stigmas that come as an effect of seeking help as a collegiate athlete, she spent the entirety of her college athletics career performing what she has endearingly titled “self research experience”. She has spent the last five years struggling through a multitude of mental health issues and illnesses and developing a mental toolbelt for best ways to combat them and succeed as a student athlete. These tools include things such as mindfulness practices, journaling techniques to unlock deeper rooted issues, performance anxiety techniques, setting attainable and inspiring goals, knowing when to contact a clinician for help, etc. On top of this self guided work, she is currently enrolled in Santa Clara’s Counseling Psychology graduate program (on route to becoming an LMFT) learning clinical tools to help diagnose and treat a variety of mental health conditions.
