The seeds for profound transformation already exist within you.
I’m here to help you cultivate them.
We’re living through a time of unprecedented change. As AI reshapes what it means to be in relationship with ourselves, each other, and the broader world, leaders need to develop the essential inner qualities that can never be automated: embodied presence, wisdom, and capacity for genuine connection.
I work with leaders, seekers, and fellow humans who are ready to move beyond surface-level changes and do the deeper work of examining the views, habits, and conditioning that shape how they show up in the world. This isn’t about fixing or optimizing ourselves. It’s about intentionally turning toward our own hearts and minds in order to live more consciously and to catalyze the collective transformation that our world is waiting for.
In order to co-create a flourishing future for all beings, we each need to do our part, but we don’t need to do it alone.
I work one-on-one with leaders and seekers to:
- Grow in emotional awareness and connect more meaningfully with others
- Recognize & decondition unconscious thought patterns and habits that may be limiting your confidence and happiness
- Relate to yourself and others with greater authenticity, compassion and curiosity
- Clarify your innermost values, align with your purpose, and more fully express your highest self
- Find greater joy and connection in the “ordinary” moments of life
- Feel brighter and more open-hearted during daily life, work, and social interactions
- Navigate uncertainty and change with greater embodied presence, resilience, and equanimity
About me

I’ve spent over 15 years on the path, doing the inner work to become a kinder, wiser, and more fulfilled human being (learn more about my journey). Along the way, I’ve worn many different hats, including as a management consultant, startup founder, meditation teacher, AI safety advocate, and Buddhist chaplain. As a contemplative coach, I draw from my varied lived experiences to support others on the path of inner and collective transformation.
What to expect
As each individual is unique, so too is my approach to working with you. Generally, our work will include:
- A discovery call where we’ll meet and discuss what brings you to coaching
- 60-minute coaching sessions twice monthly for ~4-6 months
- Specific tools and practices tailored to your particular growth path
- Context and teachings from Buddhism and other contemplative modalities (somatic work, IFS, etc.)
- Guided readings and text-study (if desired)
I work with individuals of all backgrounds, honoring the richness of the various identities that each embodiment represents. I might be a particularly good fit for:
- AI safety & ethics professionals and others working in global harm reduction and catastrophic risk
- Values-driven leaders working in other high-impact fields (e.g., climate, education, energy, public health)
- Individuals curious about deep inner work and consciousness-expanding modalities, including meditation
Here’s what a current client had to say about their experience:
Working with Alex has been grounding and transformative. I find myself at times caught in cycles of overthinking and self-doubt, struggling to quiet the noise in my head. Alex has given me both the space and the tools to navigate those moments with more clarity and confidence. Through his sincere listening, thoughtful questioning, and deep spiritual toolbox he has helped me to better articulate what I’m feeling and more fully engage with my physical and spiritual being. He has also shared simple yet powerful techniques, including breathing exercises, meditations and reflections that have helped me to quiet self-criticism and feel more present. His guidance has been a steady source of support, and I’m deeply grateful for the perspective and resilience I’m gaining through our work. – Nathan N., General Manager @ Treehouse
