Personal Life

From a young age, Alex had a thirst for knowledge and wisdom.  He quenched this thirst through scientific studies which continued throughout university.  However, while his knowledge progressed he didn’t feel he was any wiser about the intricacies of life, thus started his shift of exploration from the outer world, to within.   It was during this time that Alex recognised that the greatest wealth is achieved from a peaceful, joyful self and his personal aspirations of wealth transformed to include wellbeing. 

Alex practices meditation and yoga, is a keen study of ancient philosophy and practices and is fascinated with the power of the mind and how freeing it opens the path to inspiration, motivation and creativity.

Alex is the proud father of 2 adorable children who provide him with love and joy as well as valuable lessons in life.  The birth of his children also gave him new meaning on life and motivation to his own and his children’s health and wellbeing.  He stays active with rock climbing, running and walking and gains inspiration and energy when out in nature, whether it be a trek through the mountains or a swim in the ocean.

Alex’ daily practice of Health, Wealth and Wellbeing is a pursuit he tries to impart onto his clients and enjoys working with them throughout their own life journey.
