Alejs Lluis-Nawaz (Gonzalez), MEd, RCC

Hello! I’m Alejs (pronounced ‘Alex’). I am a trans, non-binary latine settler on the unceded and occupied territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. I'm a deep thinker on a lifelong journey to reconnecting with the deep feeler in me I had to tuck away for protection. My greatest motivator for doing this work is offering other folks who feel they don’t quite fit into what society expects of them the courage and power to be fully and unapologetically themselves.

I'm an athlete & rock climber, a spouse, a new parent, a crocheter of cute stuffies, a baker of cakes and just generally a pretty goofy person. 

I have lived in British Columbia since my family immigrated from the stolen lands of the Guaraní, Maskoy, Mataco Mataguayo, Zamuco and Guaicurú speaking peoples (Paraguay) when I was 11 years old. In my spare time you’ll likely find me rock climbing somewhere in the forests of Squamish, BC.
