“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”
Mary Oliver
Commitment is the cornerstone of transformation. I’m committed to changing the world with you, one session at a time.
We live in strange times, indeed. Just when there appeared to be a shift in focus to sustainability and healing the planet, we are now engulfed in a myriad of political, social, and global events with far-reaching repercussions. Wars, food scarcity, and a general breakdown of the systems designed to protect us, can leave us feeling anxious or even downright afraid.
Maybe you’ve decided the answer lies in cutting out news and social media, but find yourself back on your screens, commenting on your “rival’s” post, or looking at properties in Europe. It’s not your fault. Our world is in crisis, and there are no easy answers.
We are part of a global consciousness in need of healing. That healing begins with you. My mentor, Phil Stutz, says, “When you work on yourself, you work on the world.” So let us work together to solve some of the problems holding you back from being your best, most authentic self. That way, when the big challenges come up, you’re ready to face them—head-on. I believe I can help.
My Tools Story
My last name is Wells, but for a considerable period of my life, I was far from well. I grew up as a “normal kid” with caring parents in Orange County, CA.
I excelled in school and was even the captain of my varsity cheerleading squad. I transferred to UCLA as a sophomore, earned a bachelor's degree in English, and envisioned a future filled with reaping life’s rewards.
However, reality took a different turn. In the spring of 1995, I packed my bags and moved to New York City with big dreams of artistic success and standing ovations from stranger-filled audiences.
Despite my talent, I lacked confidence and struggled in auditions due to anxiety and the fear of revealing parts of myself I deemed unacceptable.
Not knowing any other way, I took refuge in toxic relationships and substances to fill the void where I wanted the applause to be. I spent decades adrift without any clear direction. But something inside knew not to give up. I searched in metaphysical bookstores, yoga studios, and many a therapist’s office for the answers as to why I felt so uncomfortable in my skin.
Enter The Tools© written by Phil Stutz and Barry Michels. I stumbled upon its pages in 2013 and clarity dawned in a revelation akin to Oprah's celebrated “aha” moment. By page sixteen, I knew I had discovered my beacon. The Tools© provided visualizations that engaged my harried mind, offering a powerful alternative to obsessive worrying and pointless comparisons.
During the past decade, I’ve incorporated The Tools© into my daily routine and very being, and it’s been the best time of my life. I now know that I've found my true calling—as a guide, coach, and, yes, cheerleader, for all those who share my struggles. Indeed, we can all truly be well. I look forward to supporting you and your journey!
What clients are saying
“I am very grateful to have discovered the tools through the various books as well as online resources. However, the most noticeable changes in myself and the quality of my thoughts occurred when I started working one-on-one with Alicia. The tools help me manage the negative self talk that happens on a daily basis, as well as keep me grounded as I experience life. Her knowledge and passion for the tools is truly inspiring and working with her has been a wonderfully transformative experience."
—Stefano P.
“Simply said, she cares. She is as committed to my progress at least as much (or more) as I am. Her knowledge in coaching, using the Tools is great.
Recommend? Yes!”
—Mitch G.
“Alicia is so credible given her willingness to be vulnerable and so open with her life experience. She could have chosen to stay in some dark places, but chose and chooses to do the work that benefits her and we who do the work with her. We are grateful to have her as a guide on our journey.”
