TERAPEUTA Y ENTRENADORA
Born in rural Canada in 1987, Alex developed an early interest in psychology and human potential. After a period of mental illness in his youth, he established a daily meditation practice that allowed him to cultivate a natural resilience. Alongside studying jazz music at a conservatorium in Montréal, he practiced martial arts for a decade. He combined his creative and therapeutic interests by founding a project utilizing the drum circle environment to cultivate emotional expression and communication skills for individuals with developmental disorders.
Impulsado por el deseo de investigar las raíces psicológicas del mindfulness, Alex se trasladó a Nepal para estudiar budismo en una universidad vinculada a un monasterio tibetano. Vivió allí durante diez años, inmerso en una formación clásica tibetana. Esa década profundizó su convicción de que la tradición de sabiduría budista ofrece un camino profundamente práctico hacia la salud mental y el equilibrio interior, con métodos que nos ayudan a reconocer nuestra plenitud innata. Su profundo vínculo con la región le inspiró a fundar Himalayan Hermitage, an organization which leads pilgrimage journeys throughout Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan, and Mongolia.
Following his time in the Himalayas, Alex pursued an education in Manuvision body therapy. Today, his bodywork integrates his meditation path, musical sensitivity, and martial arts training with his own journey through trauma and emotional wounds—viewing healing not as a final destination, but as an ongoing discovery of wisdom and compassion, where leaning into the process itself yields profound freedom from the wound. Alex’s treatments focus on developing nervous system resilience and regulation while releasing tension, stress, and emotional blockages.
"Existe una fuerza inmensa en bajar finalmente la guardia para encontrarte con tu propia fuerza vital. Estos tratamientos son una invitación a habitar plenamente tu cuerpo, a acercarte a tu vulnerabilidad para descubrir la fuente de tu poder más auténtico."
