Testimonials

  • “I had spent the past 4 years in and out of the VA relentlessly searching for an effective treatment for the symptoms linked to my post traumatic stress. It was my trust and confidence in Alex that allowed me to place my trust in plant medicine. Alex’s empathy, patience, and gentle guidance was indispensable to my lifesaving psychedelic healing journey.”

    - Queer Female Special Operations Veteran

  • “Upon departing the Marine Corps and SOF, I struggled through the civilian world thinking “they don’t understand” feeling lost and fighting the anger and sadness associated with leaving an elite organization like MARSOC. The universe works in great ways as I met Alex, an individual who experienced similar transition challenges and is just as elite in her facilitator practice as she was in her past life in the military. She created a nurturing space and offered her hand making me feel safe and understood as I tackled and overcame a decade’s worth of combat fueled, compartmentalized pain. Thank you Alex.”

    - Marine Corps Special Operations Veteran

  • “Alex is one of the first coaches that I have worked with that I have really opened up to. Her empathy, patience and warm demeanor helps provide a safe space that is necessary for healing to begin. Conversations with Alex have led me to profound insights and always leave me feeling grounded.”

    - Queer Army Veteran

  • “Alex is nothing less than a life saver when it comes to walking by an individual undergoing major life changes. I have experienced Alex in ceremony, as well as in virtual coaching sessions and in either case their presence has always made a huge and very positive difference. Alex possesses a heart that is genuine, adaptable, mindfully honest and full of virtue.”

    - Gender Expansive, BIPOC, Air Force Veteran

My passion stems from and is in honor of my friend, Patty Brandmaier, who served in the CIA for 32yrs. She was a mentor, friend, and ultimately became family to me. I coach to continue her work and to thank her for her selfless service to our country and her continued passion to support the success of others through her mentorship, leadership and loving open heart. Forever honoring her legacy.
