Hi, I’m Alex.

I guide people through breathwork, somatic practice, and nervous system work.

My path has moved through athletics, design, coaching, facilitation, and behavioral health. Across all of it, I’ve kept returning to the same question: how do people find steadiness inside pressure?

I’ve spent years in high-performance environments, creative leadership, rugby, jiu jitsu, endurance training, and group facilitation. That background shapes the way I hold space. I pay attention to the body, the room, the pace, and the person in front of me.

My work blends breathwork, trauma-informed practice, somatic awareness, energy work, and practical coaching. Sessions are grounded, intuitive, and responsive. You do not have to perform, explain everything, or arrive with the right words.

You bring what is present. I guide the process.

Read My Story

  • What a Session Feels Like

    A session with me is guided, steady, and personal.

    We begin with a brief conversation about what you’re carrying, what you’re hoping to work with, and how your body feels that day. From there, I guide you through breath, body awareness, and integration at a pace that fits your system.

    Some sessions feel quiet and restorative. Some feel emotional. Some feel energizing. Some feel simple and subtle.

    The goal is to help you listen more clearly to your body and leave with a stronger sense of presence, connection, and capacity.

Client Experiences

  • Alex is an exceptional breathwork coach. Having done breathwork a handful of times but still not feeling super confident, he closed the loop on my understanding of the process by easing us in and supporting our journey without waver throughout the session. It was far and away my favorite breathwork experience - I felt seen, supported and confident following the plethora of beautiful, transformative healing I experienced. Cannot recommend working with Alex enough!

    Marley F.

  • Working with Alex has been an absolute pleasure. His guidance has been instrumental in transforming my relationship with breathing. Learning to breathe has helped mentally, physically, and spiritually. This has helped me "reset" and start to face and accept past traumas.

    Brandon S.

  • Alex made sure we spoke before we scheduled a session. He gave me an intro to both himself and breath work. He explained all the benefits and was very transparent about what the experience will likely resemble. Our first session was cathartic! Our second session left me feeling like half the weight of my past trauma was lifted off my shoulders. Highly recommend!

    Jennifer S.

  • “I met Alex a while ago through jiujitsu and was always able to connect with him. Without him knowing I had been a beginner breath work practitioner for a couple of years and was searching for a more advanced practice. Thanks to Alex Holguin I was able to not only achieve my desired state but moved further past it. His breath work guidance has enhanced all aspects of my life from martial arts to business success. If you truly want a deeper connection with yourself, your life, and everything around you, then I highly recommend a session with Alex.”

    Joey T.

  • I own a healing portal in Tulum, MX and I lead sacred retreats around the world. Recently, during a retreat in Mt. Shasta, I had Alex lead a breathwork journey for our group. It was a dynamic, soulful experience which really elevated our day and conscious ability to be present. Alex does a masterful job of guiding participants through the techniques and inviting in mindfulness while pushing through all aspects that may arise. A cohesive, deeply healing journey together and individually. A beautiful experience with a tremendous facilitator.

    Joey M.

  • “Alex has a profound gift - and he generously, safely, and effectively shares this gift of guided breath with you. And in so doing, you blow through layers and decades of ‘stuck’ to finally see and unlock your own powerful gifts - including and especially your innate gifts of unconditional love and peace. 10 years of therapy in 1 hour.”
