Alexandra Wilson

Alexandra’s path as a psycho-spiritual practitioner began as an odyssey of self-healing and deep personal transformation. After years of extensive meditation, plant medicine journeys and intensive trauma work, she could see no greater role than building on what she’d learned by creating organizations of healing and transformation for others.

 

Alexandra is the Founder and CEO of Awakening Hearts, a transformational healing organization in Austin, TX. Awakening Hearts is a community of practitioners with a demonstrated track record in top notch therapy, innovative program creation, and national leadership at the cutting edge of mental healthcare. Alexandra earned a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. Edward’s University and then graduated from the MDMA Therapy Training Program of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Science (MAPS). Alexandra has a wide breadth of knowledge and insight, spending years of practice as a psychotherapist at the Seton Ascension Psychiatric Hospital, while also spending extensive time learning from the Shipibo shamanic tradition in Peru. 

 

Alexandra spent her early career as a licensed psychotherapist consulting in the development of psychedelic clinics, supporting plant medicine churches, facilitating transformative group retreats, leading plant medicine retreats internationally, and working one-on-one with clients to accelerate their transformation and healing. Quickly, she began to be sought out by clients for more intensive work together. This formed the creation of Awakening Hearts.

 

Alexandra’s work incorporates both science and spirituality—balancing modern, conventional understandings of trauma and the mind with non-Western practices, treatments, and teachings about the mind, body, and spirit. Incorporating Eastern philosophy and indigenous shamanic tradition, she supports people through the facilitation of deep psycho-spiritual transformation. Always tuned into the heart of the person in front of her, Alexandra is nevertheless focused on collective healing and transformation.
