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. I specialise in guiding clients through spiritual emergencies and significant life transitions. I also love supporting people in the dance of relationships, between the edges of commitment and freedom. You can book a session or read more about how sessions work.
My approach is pragmatic and curious, focusing on how internal work enhances external effectiveness and improves relationships with our inner parts and other people in our lives. A key aspect of my practice involves empowering protectors to upskill and leverage personal experiences and resources for greater effectiveness.
How I can help
I'm particularly interested in supporting people in:
Combining analytical thought with emotion and embodiment
For people who think too much, and feel too little — or the reverse.
Life & career design
"How do I move to doing what makes me feel alive?"
Relationships — commitment, freedom, ethical non-monogamy
Anything relational that is shared and ethical. Including sexuality.
Integrating deep transformational experiences
Meditation retreats, life events, psychedelic integration.
Coaching protectors
When parts want to be more functional at what they're already doing — not just heal.
Offering support for 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 modalities (Feeding Your Demons, Focusing, Transactional Analysis, even some work with Chaos Magick and shamanism). My Level 2 came through IFIO, the relational branch of the model, because relationships, commitment and freedom are where I find the real edge of growth.
The rest of this list isn't IFS. I use it anyway, and I'll tell you when I do.

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 discovered IFS, it felt like the missing piece: finally, I could apply to myself what I had learned facilitating groups of people, and I could apply the spaciousness I could access from meditation to better meet parts of myself, and of others.
Conversely, IFS made dealing with others, and facilitating, much easier, seeing everyone and their parts, trying their best. What I love using IFS is that I do not have to know a solution — I can bring curiosity, compassion, and the trust that everyone and every part means well and needs to be heard.
I am passionate about combining modalities to support people where they are. In addition to IFS, I will use Focusing, ACT, Buddhist dharma and meditation techniques, engineering approach, NVC, communication patterns, and just curiosity and intuition.
