About Alex Pedori
Level 2-trained IFS practitioner, coach & facilitator.
Sessions in English · Italiano
I have completed Level 2 Internal Family Systems (IFS) training and work as an IFS-informed coach and facilitator, with 20+ years of experience in meditation, embodiment, and relational practices, in addition to an engineer's training.
I'm most useful when you want something to move: a decision, a career, a relationship, or an experience that needs integrating. I also love supporting people in the dance of relationships, between the edges of commitment and freedom. I'm pragmatic and curious, and I'll question assumptions; on the other hand, I strongly believe in the importance of trusting our protectors and their wisdom, and in allowing them to learn from our own experiences, and from the experiments, the ones we do on purpose, the ones that we just happen to stumble upon.

How I can help
Where I'm most useful
Thinking and feeling, in the same room
For people who think a lot and feel less, or the reverse. Analysis is a great tool, it just shouldn't be the only one in the room. Feelings are a great compass, and just feelings can leave us spinning in circles.
Life and career design
"How do I get to doing what makes me feel alive?", and what's worrying the parts that keep you where you are. More on IFS coaching.
Relationships: commitment, freedom, non-monogamy
Anything relational that is shared and ethical, sexuality included. More on IFS and ethical non-monogamy.
Integrating big experiences
Meditation retreats, spiritual emergencies, psychedelic experiences, and life events that rearranged everything.
Coaching protectors
Not every part needs healing. Some want to get better at what they already do, and helping them is one of my favourite things.
Participatory events
Unconferences, groups and peer spaces where Self-energy can lead.
Credentials
IFS+ trainings & experience
IFS is the spine of how I work, and it arrived late: after 20+ years of meditation, bodywork, facilitating rooms full of people, and other parts-work approaches (Feeding Your Demons, Focusing, Transactional Analysis, and some less orthodox detours through Chaos Magick and shamanism). My Level 2 came through IFIO, the relational branch of the model, because relationships are where I find the real edge of growth.
Most of this list isn't IFS. I use it anyway, and I'll tell you when I do.
- IFS Level 2, through IFIO (Intimacy from the Inside Out) — IFS applied to couples and relationships
- IFS Level 1 (taken in Spanish)
- The Others Within Us supervision group (w/ Robert Falconer) — helped organise, several months, on intense work and unattached burdens
- Facilitator and host of relating and intimacy workshops and events (15+ years)
- Meditation retreat organiser; 10+ retreats attended or co-created
- Yoga Teacher Training (200hrs)
- Trained in Thai Yoga Massage, plus other bodywork techniques
- MSc in Computer Engineering
Testimonials
Alex offers a very nurturing and multi-faceted way of supporting psychedelic integration. With 20 years of self-experimentation, working as an Internal Family Systems-informed coach, and meditation guide, Alex was an indispensable support for me as I integrated my DMT experience. When we connected I was experiencing night terrors and uncontrollable flashes of the psychedelic experience. With his guidance, I was able to adopt a steady and helpful meditation practice, and became able to face my experiences with much more calm, courage, and even curiosity.

My multi-modal approach & IFS
IFS was the missing piece.
When I found IFS, it tied together things I'd been doing separately for years. What I'd learned facilitating groups, I could finally apply inside; the spaciousness from meditation became a way of meeting parts — mine, and other people's.
It worked the other way too. Facilitating got easier once I could see everyone in the room as a system of parts, each doing its best. What I love most is that I don't need to know the answer. I can bring curiosity, compassion, and the working assumption that every part means well and deserves a hearing.
Alongside IFS I use Focusing, ACT, NVC, Buddhist practice and meditation techniques, an engineer's habit of taking problems apart, and plain curiosity and intuition.
