1:1 coaching

“I contacted Alex when I was at a point in my life when everything felt overwhelming. I was stressed at work and life seemed to just pass by. I had somehow lost joy and I lacked direction. I wanted to find my passion again, and more than anything I wanted to find a way back to a more regulated nervous system.

We worked together all and all for a period of almost 1.5 years. From the first call with Alex (and the homework she made me do prior) we identified what actually would make me happy in life, and we started working towards that together. I felt so seen, understood, guided and supported by Alex throughout the entire process. She is such a wonderful mix of science and spirituality! When I look back on our journey together, I can remember the limiting beliefs, fears and doubts I had in the beginning, but I cannot feel them anymore. I’m not limited by them anymore like I used to be.

I feel I have expanded, I have slowed down, I have found the time and the energy to dedicate time for what really makes me happy, and I’m actually working towards my dreams (writing books), which still a year ago felt like a mission impossible in very many ways. Working with Alex was pivotal for me and life changing in many ways (and not only for me, but for my family as well). Forever grateful for this experience.”

“I am extremely grateful for my coaching experience with Alex. She provided a judgement-free space for me to express my deepest fears, leaving me feeling seen and held throughout our container together.

I appreciated her ability to empathize and hold me accountable at the same time. Her ability to balance the two instilled the confidence I needed to develop a deeper sense of trust in myself while working toward my relationship and career goals.

I am someone who likes to understand how things work, so I really appreciated the knowledge she shared using her neuroscience background.

I left our coaching container feeling more confident and equipped with tools to continue striving toward my dream career, breaking my people-pleasing habits, and achieving healthier relationships. Thank you Alex!!!”

Katie

“After that [first session] I wondered what six months of coaching would do for me… I finally saw what was possible. I signed up and got into my first container.

At the end of those six months my mindset was completely different…

I was working through blocks and limiting beliefs that were holding me back in some capacity. I learned how to step into my power. I learned how to start letting go of fear. I started going out there into the world and started doing things in the world I never thought I would accomplish.

Having someone there for you every single day to support you, to get you out of your head, to acknowledge the things that you are doing, to get you to do things that feel so uncomfortable and outside of your comfort zone: I can’t even describe the mindset shifts that happened within those six months, but they were truly life-changing for me.”

Hanan Abdelaal

“I highly recommend working with Alex. It was one of the best investments that I’ve made, and I noticed a significant improvement in my quality of life after just the first month of coaching.

Alex helped me to break an addictive relationship with work, which is something that I have struggled with for the past decade. I now have tools to continue rewiring my nervous system to reflect how I want to move through the world.”

Rachel Brown

“Working with Alex changed my life and was like no other life coaching I have experienced.

She made things so comfortable and gave action steps after every session. The action steps and homework helped me get real life data and information to improve my anxiety and self-love journey.

I could not be happier and am so appreciative of the 4 month program with Alex.

Thank you!“

China McCarney

“My time working with Alex showed me just how powerful it can be to work with someone who can spot the patterns that are keeping you stuck.

Alex opened my eyes to these patterns (both in my thinking and in my behaviour) that without her help would have remained blind spots for me.

Our sessions helped me to become more self aware but more importantly this awareness came with a level of self-compassion which Alex helped me cultivate through the incredibly safe and supportive space she holds.”

Molly

“If you read reviews of Alex’s abilities as a coach, the words “life changing” pop up over and over. Her use of neuroscience in creating positive behavioral change works!

It is hard work – which Alex would be the first to tell you – but her warm, funny and smart personality coupled with her remarkable scientific knowledge team up to make working with her a pleasure. (Even when I don’t want to do the homework she assigns!)

I’ve gained skills that have made my life easier and more serene. I’ve learned how to recognize and replace unnecessary and unwanted patterns. Neuroplasticity and other concepts introduced by Alex have allowed me to often obtain the peace of heart I had been seeking.

Thank you Alex. ”

Kate Freedman

“Alex is a true professional. She created a program that integrates neuroscience with actionable items to create change.

I was impressed by Alex’s ability to quickly pick up on my barriers and to empower me to live a full life true to my values. I felt safe and comfortable working with Alex.

There was no hint of judgment even in my most raw moments. Months later I still notice lasting changes in the way I approach relationships of all kinds, most importantly the one with myself!

Thank you, Alex, for celebrating my successes and your investment in lasting change.”

Brittany Rudinica

“What truly sets Alex apart is her ability to blend her knowledge of neuroscience with genuine empathy and support. She created a safe and motivating environment where I felt encouraged to explore and push beyond my limitations.

The progress I’ve made, both personally and professionally, is a testament to her exceptional skill and dedication. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Alex! “

Krista

"Alex is a gem and coaching with her is a GIFT. With ease and elegance she explains complex brain-y topics which helps you to understand yourself (and others!). With her coaching and tools I've experienced massive shifts in my anxiety AND during the most stress-filled time of my life! Everyone deserves an Alex in their lives, she is a true game changer."

Working with Alex is truly a gift! This is now my second time working with Alex for different needs/reasons and it's always an experience I enjoy through all the work, tears and opportunities. Working with Alex required me to act on the areas I wanted to grow in in terms of my romantic relationship, traumas I didn't even know I had that were impacting my ability to enjoy the present and get out of anxious thinking patterns that were not serving me. Through her availability via email and monthly calls, homework assignments and recommended books/authors, I have so many tools to continue to grow and become a more confident, secure and vulnerable partner in my romantic relationship.

Alex is such a gifted coach! She is an amazing listener, empathetic, understanding, non-judgemental, and pushes “just enough” when she needs to. I appreciated all of the practical techniques and tips that I could implement immediately. I love that everything is backed by science, too! As a result of my coaching with Alex, I have made a remarkable amount of progress working through trauma and negative thought patterns. My toolkit is stocked with accessible techniques I can use to continue my healing. I am immensely grateful to Alex!!!"

"Alex offers a refreshingly grounded approach to coaching with her straight forward, science-backed suggestions. She combines empathy with actionable strategies for getting unstuck. You are in loving hands with Alex! She walks the walk and she's got you."

“My time with Alex, has been life changing. Alex is so kind, patient and loving which fosters an environment that is safe and free from judgement.

She helped me shift my mindset from one that wished things, people and circumstances outside of my control would change to a mindset of empowerment, self-respect and autonomy.

My time with Alex has helped my anxiety and codependency tremendously by providing me with tools I can use in my everyday life. I am forever grateful for my time with her.“

Sarah Stowell

“I cannot thank Alex enough for the 12 week coaching program we embarked on earlier this year. I had been lucky to take a few yoga and nidra classes with her but hadn’t had the opportunity to work 1:1 with her until I felt my anxiety and lack of self confidence got the better of me as I transitioned into a new job.

In working with Alex, I was able to get to some deep roots of my issues, developed the tools and habits that can help me cope with my issues that I still use today! If you put in the work, your life will be changed in the best way possible. Don’t hesitate to reach out to her, she’s AMAZING!!!”

Paola L.

“Where to begin? Alex’s knowledge, passion, and care for what she teaches and how she coaches is a truly a special experience and relationship. Alex gifted me knowledge that has forever impacted my life, supported me through unwrapping and realizing some of the deepest stored emotions/experiences, provided me with resources and techniques that are daily tools, and created a beautiful, safe space for me to embrace all of myself. I was able to love more of myself and love myself more fully through healing stored trauma and emotions, changing my brain patterns, and thinking in different ways.

Not only did I heal and grow through our time together, but I came to understand what message I am meant to share with the world and embrace my dreams and desires. To have this kind of realization through working with Alex has been incredibly powerful. Alex’s inspiration and kindness radiates through her and to her clients.

My time coaching with Alex was truly life transformational. I feel so blessed for her joining me on my path and her mirroring to me what was deep down inside. Her coaching is filled with all her love, kindness, support, joy, knowledge, and compassion. I am eternally grateful for Alex.”

Caitlin Bottagaro

“Coaching 1:1 with the neuroscience ninja herself was incredible!

Her knowledge, enthusiasm, and genuine spirit shown through during each session.

Alex held a safe place to share and learn during each call. She created actionable steps after each check-in and had a unique/fun way of holding me accountable along the way. ”

Jocelyn Reyes

“In just a short period of time, Alex helped me identify and name this inner turmoil I was experiencing around my current career and pursing a more purposeful side business.

I was basically keeping the two sides of me hidden from one another. Once this shame and fear of being seen was illuminated, and with her “homework” assignments, I was able to take action to break down the weight and begin to feel lighter. She has helped me step into being more authentic and honest.

Alex was able to understand my struggle, see the path forward, and immediately guide me with her knowledge and expertise.

She packs so much value into everything from her calls to her email support to keeping me accountable. I’m so grateful!”
