Alex teaches the emotional and communication skills we should've learned in school, but never did. 

She facilitates experiential workshops and courses, including on subjects like how to: fight with someone you love, stop people-pleasing, listen better, navigate big life shifts, and so much more.

Her workshops are engaging, smart, deep, practical, and, against all odds, shockingly fun.

​

Alex has been teaching at Yale since she was 27. There, she created and currently offers a highly popular course called The Self & Other: In Theory and Practice. 

She’s the founder of Lifeshop, a school for adult emotional education in New York.

Alex re-launched The School of Life's live events in the US in 2025.

Her work on conflict is featured by Simon Sinek. 

​

She has studied dozens of modalities of communication, facilitation, mindfulness, and personal development, including:

• Lived and trained at Plum Village and Esalen

• 3 facilitation masterclasses: 300-hour Mindfulness Teacher Training, Advanced Integral Facilitation  

• Communication tools including: Nonviolent Communication, Authentic Relating, Radical Honesty

​

Before devoting her life to emotional education, Alex was a management consultant at Bain, ran a 1,300-person team in pandemic emergency response, and worked in strategy and operations across sectors.

She is based in Brooklyn, New York.
