Alex Jackson, LMT, Co-Founder of Centered Spirit Cultural & Holistic Health Center and Founder of the Awareness is Healing® Method and Awareness is Healing® Institute, is a Traditional Maya Medicine practitioner, speaker and educator certified in Maya Abdominal Therapy. With more than 20 years in holistic practice, Alex helps his patients heal through simple, yet effective therapeutic techniques, empowering insights and greater personal awareness.

Alex believes healing is a holistic process powered by greater self-awareness and understanding of how the body functions and responds to stress due to unresolved emotions, past trauma and/or current lifestyle pressures.

From digestive and reproductive disorders to musculoskeletal pain and chronic anxiety/nervous system issues, he sees the abdomen as the doorway to resolving many challenging health conditions and achieving a more balanced centered spirit.

Alex specializes in traditional healing, prenatal & postpartum care, herbal medicine and somatic bodywork. He has spent decades traveling, studying, and apprenticing with internationally renowned traditional medicine practitioners and teachers of Maya and Mexican traditions in Central America, Mexico and New Mexico.

The founder of the Awareness is Healing Institute, which opened in 2017, Alex trains other holistic practitioners who are interested in helping their patients achieve greater well-being by addressing the underlying issues driving chronic and acute health conditions.
