It was with Alejandro’s company ,over 5 years, that I had someone to reflect with. I then slowly started to integrate the parts of myself I was battling with. Together showing up in different spaces, practices and time lines in my life; Alejandro attuned to what I needed at each phase I was experiencing. He was always open, loving and right there with me.

Alejandro is a rare human who has taught me so much about seeing through the eyes of connection; not only is he skilled and steady as a facilitator and mentor, but he also shows a willingness to meet life, be vulnerable, and speak truth that inspires me. I’m grateful to be able to weave with him in work and life.

"Do not be dismayed by the brokenness of the world. Love intentionally, extravagantly and unconditionally" L. R. Knost
With Alejandro I learned we go deeper in the healing journey when we do it relationally, when we prioritize expressing Truth, when we find Wisdom in the creative process, and when we transform points of tension into golden nuggets for transforming trauma. His guidance helped me turn tension into growth and build a powerful set of practices to navigate life’s challenges with an open heart.

Alejandro exemplifies kindness, creativity and beautiful aspects of play, curiosity, and self-reflection. During the times I have worked with Alejandro I have witnessed him connecting with people who are often the most marginalized and have had their trust and often hope broken down. Alejandro is able to reignite a speak of hope and truly engage on a human level that is deeply unique.
