“As a retired psychologist who worked for decades with trauma survivors, I am very impressed with Alex’s understanding of the impact of trauma on the body and psyche and the needs of individuals who have experienced trauma–as well as his informed, intuitive, and skilled response in teaching TRE to clients.  TRE is both powerful and empowering as a strategy to facilitate the release of pent-up emotional and somatic pain.  In addition, Alex is very patient in facilitating a client’s internal capacity for release and recovery and provides both a safe, caring, and appropriately boundaried relationship and a calming space for healing to occur.   As both a bodyworker and TRE practitioner, Alex is extremely knowledgeable, skilled, creative, and compassionate. He is tremendously curious intellectually, constantly seeking training and certification in state of the art approaches and interventions, and he integrates them seamlessly into his broad and deep practice. I have personally experienced many of the modalities Alex has trained it, and have been very impressed with a reduction and elimination of pain, increased kinesthetic awareness and sense of grounding, as well as a more general sense of calm, relaxation, and well-being for some time following a session with Alex.  I have highly recommended Alex to friends, colleagues, and clients and will continue to do so!”
