Coach Info
About Me:Alex Atwood is a multifaceted, purpose-driven leader with more than 20 years of experience as a serial entrepreneur who helmed four startups in the hospitality and staffing space. He’s also a coach in the emerging psychedelics field whose focus is on optimizing human potential. Other roles include podcaster, public speaker, angel investor in firms that help build a better world, and philanthropist with a soft spot for owners and operators of family businesses.
His feel for business took root in elementary school when he bought and resold candy and bubble gum from the grocery store at a 150% markup. Since then, Atwood has fostered skilled, efficient teams as founder and CEO of Sanistaff, co-founder of Gravy Work, CEO of PSG Inc. and CEO of the Hospitality Training Institute.
One of his proudest achievements includes a pandemic pivot for the hospitality staffing agency he founded not long before COVID-19 decimated that industry. Atwood drew upon his resilience to keep the company afloat after losing its entire client base. Within 21 days at the height of massive lockdowns, 75% of his workforce was back to work – retrained in eco-friendly disinfection services for businesses when fear mounted about safely returning to office spaces.
Dramatic stories like these, along with team building tips, have become a hallmark of his Alchemist Lounge podcast, which features spirited conversations with business leaders. Atwood also has been a featured speaker at numerous events and recently became a Third Wave certified guide – helping leaders improve their wellbeing and productivity through microdosing psychedelics.
Atwood, who is working towards an ICF certification in organizational well-being, has been a coach for Landmark Worldwide, a personal and professional development company, and elevation leader for the 1heart program, which promotes transformational growth of the mind, body and spirit. He also subscribes to the Nonviolent Communication philosophy espoused by Marshall Rosenberg, Ph.D., participates in twice-daily meditation, and plans on pursuing advanced Sidhi training, and regularly attend jungle and mountain retreats. In addition, he has led workshops on integrity and self-actualization with the goal of helping attendees realize their own potential and have greater self-esteem, fulfillment, creativity and productivity.
A Northern Virginia native, father of two daughters and graduate of George Mason University, Atwood has been actively supporting members of marginalized communities by not only providing them access employment opportunities but also technologies and tools to empower them. Other interests include various modalities of self-exploration such as temazcal, Cacao and plant medicine work. He also plays drums and is a newfound skateboard enthusiast.

Intake Process:Sessions can take place virtually over zoom or in-person!
Depending upon which program is best suited for you, we will create a roadmap of preparation work aimed at clarifying the breakthrough opportunities for personal healing, expansion, and transformation.
We will decide on a day and time that works for both of us and will continue with this weekly schedule until modified. In between sessions I will assign you practices or exercises that will solidify and support your integration work as you progress forward in your journey.
Overview of Protocol:Let's begin with a complementary 30-minute zoom call.
It is possible that we may decide on a program during this session, and we may also need one or two more clarity sessions to create a suitable program.
After the first session, I send a form for you to fill out to learn more about your needs, experience, and goals.
If you are wanting psychedelic integration, I will also send you an intake form discussing your mental and emotional health history, family history, previous experiences and relationship to sacred medicine, and questions that address your intentions.
Below is the link to schedule your call! I look forward to connecting with you.
