Alex Volta

Coach | Breathwork Facilitator | Hypnotherapist

Alex Volta guides individuals and groups toward deeper understanding of self in the context of modern living focusing on lifestyle and behavior change.

Her work centers on themes of personal power & responsibility, weaving coaching with therapeutic trance states like Breathwork and Hypnotic Meditation to release unhelpful behavioral patterns and build an embodied sense of safety, agency and coherence.

Alex’s approach is intuitive, grounded, and deeply attuned to the nervous system. She combines evidence-based trance states, somatic awareness, and consciousness-oriented coaching with a precise, compassionate presence. As a trained Coach, Hypnotherapist and Breathwork Facilitator, Alex creates spaces that are both spacious and structured, where insight is embodied. Her sessions are practical without being prescriptive, mystical without being ungrounded, and always centered on restoring trust in the body’s natural capacity to heal and self-organize.

Alex received certifications for Active Breathwork Facilitation from Ally Maz & George Ramsay, Coaching from MindBodyGreen and Hypnotherapy from the renown Hypnotherapy Training Institute where she was trained directly by Randal Churchill, who wrote the text Regression Hypnotherapy.

Alex is known for her depth, clarity, and ability to connect the dots into a cohesive whole. Clients often come to her for support in seeing themselves more fully, specifically around lifestyle and behavior change. Alex is based in Berkeley, California, she works with individuals and groups both in-person and remotely.

Reviews

“Alex is naturally gifted at the healing process. This is not always something that can be taught. If you want to heal deep wounds, if you want to receive high-quality of focus and attention, if you want to be heard and genuinely and specifically attended to, Alex is your person! I’ve been a professional healer for 19 years, she deeply and profoundly and long lastingly helped me breakthrough my deepest fears. Highly recommended. Very much suggested.”

“Alex is an amazing hypnotherapist. After just 2 sessions with her I was impacted in a profoundly positive way that continues to have benefits in my life every day. Alex brings her full grounded, wise, and creative spirit to these sessions, and I highly recommend working with her if you are even a little interested in hypnosis and improving some aspect of your life!”

FAQs

  • Clinical hypnotherapy uses a guided, focused state of attention (trance) to help people make positive changes and manage issues like anxiety, phobias, pain, and habits by accessing the subconscious mind for therapeutic suggestions. This is distinct from stage hypnosis as the individual remains completely in control and aware in clinical hypnosis.

    Hypnosis is an extremely safe and restful state for the nervous system, akin to a deep meditative or dreamlike trance state. The client is easily able to move themself out of the trance state at any time if they feel uncomfortable, similar to waking oneself up from a dream.

    Golden Wake Healing is about the transformation and integration of all parts of you. All healing that takes place comes from inside you, I am simply a guide offering time, space and structure to help remind your body what it is capable of.

    I am not a medical professional, I do not offer medical advice or services.

  • Before any type of session we will have a consultation to discuss the challenge you want to overcome or the goal/outcome you want to focus on.

    Session content depends entirely on your goals. We discuss your preferences and the modality that may best meet your needs at the time. Sessions can last anywhere from 60-90 minutes depending on the type of work being done.

    Similar to hiring a personal trainer, a single session is unlikely to move the needle longterm (though it does occur sometimes). This type of work is a commitment to self-growth — powerful change can be achieved when sessions are focused on a single goal/outcome for a distinct period on time, usually 3-6 sessions depending on the topic.

  • I do not take insurance at this time.

    However, I do offer a referral discount where you can get $25 off your next session for every person you refer that completes a session.
