Alex Maizuss - Mindfulness Coach and Corporate Wellness Consultant in Los Angeles

Background

From Corporate to Mindfulness

Before dedicating her career to mindfulness, Alex spent over a decade in the aerospace and financial sectors as an engineer — overseeing diverse projects from space shuttles to financial models.

That analytical rigor now shapes her evidence-based approach to mindfulness interventions. Alex combines deep contemplative practice with the precision of an engineering mindset to deliver programs that are both scientifically grounded and deeply transformative.

Her personal journey with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome deepened her understanding of how mindfulness can support resilience through chronic health challenges — bringing an authenticity and empathy to her work that comes from lived experience.
