Alec Kassin

Alec Kassin is a certified breakthrough chronic pain coach, whose mission is to empower millions of people to be pain-free and live unrestricted lives. A former semi-professional cyclist, Alec suffered a ruptured spinal disc, which left him in constant pain, partially bedridden, on painkillers, and faced with the prospect of being in pain for the rest of his life. After trying every physical treatment he could find without success, he discovered a mind-body approach to pain elimination and became pain-free. Now, as a coach, he helps chronic pain sufferers live a pain-free life. Alec's teachings employ a mind-body approach that combines mindfulness, visualizations, trauma-informed care, and his own experience to empower individuals to take an active role in their healing. Alec draws on the experience of over a decade of mindfulness practice, numerous retreats, an apprenticeship from Scott Shute, LinkedIn's Former Head of Mindfulness and Compassion Programs - and a brief flirtation with becoming a monk. In addition to coaching, Alec is a Founding Partner of Changing Work, which advocates for conscious business principles in the world of work. Alec is a Certified Mindbody Syndrome Practitioner through the MindBodyFood Institute, and a certified OvidDx Neural Circuit Retraining Health Professional. Alec is a graduate of UC Berkeley, a former Mindfulness & Compassion Ambassador for LinkedIn, a graduate of Spirit Rock's Living Dharma Program, and NYU's Inner MBA Program.
