Hi, I'm Alex. I long for a Connected World
A World Where We Are Connected To Ourselves, Each Other, The Earth, And A Higher Power
Where We Feel
We Belong
Why? Can't We Just Go It Alone?
Well, you can try but your biology won't let you get too far.
The need to belong is the most fundamental need that all humans have. All our other needs (the needs of Authenticity) come after belonging.
And your needs are important, if not essential.
Your fulfillment, your success, your happiness, and anything you want in this world all rely on your needs being met.
In fact, any experience of pain you have ever felt is the feeling of a need or multiple needs being unmet. On the other hand, any pleasure you have ever experienced was simply a need or multiple needs being met.
Whether you know it or not, everything you do, every single desire, goal, or dream you have is a subconscious attempt to meet a need.
And again, our number one need is to belong.
To feel that we belong, we need to feel acknowledged, seen, understood, valued, celebrated, and loved.
Unfortunately, We Often Feel The Opposite
It's Almost Normal These Days To Feel
Unseen Unvalued Unloved
"In recent years, about one-in-two adults in America reported experiencing loneliness."
U.S. Surgeon General
And even if you have people in your life, it's common for our relationships to stay surface level...
Leaving us still feeling Alone
And as a byproduct of this aloneness, we feel the laundry list of symptoms we're so quick to dismiss as typical:​
​
Anxiety, Depression, Dissociation, Numbness, Constant stress, Overwhelm, Shame, Constant fatigue, Low self-esteem, Insomnia, Restlessness, Irritability, Feeling lost, Feeling not enough, etc.
Because of this never-ending list of symptoms, we end up feeling like something is wrong with us (we're broken), or that we think something out there will fill this gaping hole in our hearts.
​
​
And so we try to fill the hole with...
-
Achievement
-
Drug, alcohol, social media, porn, T.V., or other addictions
-
Food
-
Gossip
-
Buying things we don't need
-
Work
-
Spiritual education or practices
-

I hate to break it to you but you can't out-think, out-work, out-medicate, or out-meditate your need for belonging and connection.
No productivity hack, spiritual practice, or new healing technique is going to change that
So let's say you realize how important connection is to your fulfillment.
But, how do you even go about creating meaningful relationships or shifting your current ones to access the deep healing of connection?
Unfortunately, our upbringing and education systems have failed us in providing the skills necessary to deeply connect to others.
We were never taught how to be humans with other humans
Here's How I Can Help
Work With Me 1on1 To Be Deeply Known and Seen In Your Life
​
I'll work with you 1on1 in order to transform how you relate to yourself and others in order to create nourishing connection and belonging in your life.
Unlike other coaching philosophies, I don't believe you're broken or that you need to be fixed because you're already whole. What's getting in the way is a disconnect from yourself and others. Through tailored relational practices, I'll guide you back to yourself and to the natural connection that occurs between humans as a byproduct of this self-connection.
But don't worry, we'll cover the practical parts of connecting to others and creating rich relationships as well.
​
If you're ready to access the beautiful and healing connection that makes life worth living, apply below and let's get started.
Join a Workshop
Join a safe container of other seekers to explore and hone your relational skills in community.
Through guided group processes and immersive exercises, you'll dive into what it means to be human and develop tangible skills you can bring into your life and relationships immediately.
​
Leave feeling lit up, energized, and empowered to use these skills to enrich every aspect of your life.

I lead these powerful workshops intermittently so inquire below and I'll let you know when the next one will be.
