Biography

Alejandra Llamas was born on August 15, 1970 in Mexico City, Mexico to parents Cecilia Vidales, a psychologist, and Federico Llamas, a public accountant. In 1993, she received a degree in Textile Design from the Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City which exposed her to the world of art and design. In 1996, she started her first business, Modifica Art Gallery dedicated to design art. In 1999, Llamas moved to Miami, Florida to work in the music business with RLM Management, managing prominent acts like Miguel Bosé, Mecano and Alejandro Sanz among others.

Difficulties in her personal life, the passing of her father, the move to Miami, and a divorce, led her to take up yoga and meditation. Her newfound interest in human behavior led her to get certified as an ontological coach in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 2004. By 2006, after being certified as a yoga instructor in Santa Fe, New Mexico by Tias Little, she became Director and CEO of her own center in Miami. During this period, she wanted to communicate her feelings to a broader audience, and she began writing her reflections which ultimately became her first, best-selling book in Spanish, Una Vida Sin Límites (A Life Without Limitations), published by Penguin/Random House in 2009.[3]

In 2012, again through Penguin/Random House, she published her second book in Spanish El Arte de Conocerte, immediately followed in 2013 with its English language edition, The Art of Self Awareness in which she discusses practical methods to achieve self-awareness.[4] In early 2014, she co-authored the book Maestría de Vida ("Masters in Life") with Hispanic media personality Gloria Calzada in which they discuss themes such as trust, fear, love, happiness, self-esteem, ego, forgiveness, and commitments .[5] In April 2014, she published her fourth book with Penguin/Random House entitled El arte de educar: Técnicas de coaching para guiar a nuestros hijos (Spanish Edition) ("The Art of Raising Children") where she introduces the reader to coaching techniques for children.[6][7]

Alejandra Llamas is currently a teacher and the creator of the MMK Process, based on ontological coaching, yoga, guided meditation, pillars of self, and other methods to achieve a higher level of consciousness and self-awareness. She creates, gives and directs the certification for the MMK Process through her own coaching institute MMK Institute for empowerment of self. She is a frequent guest on television and radio programs discussing personal empowerment techniques and human behavior.
