It’s been three decades since Alvin began his quest to find personal greatness and live life at the highest level of peak performance for mind, body and soul. His passion and motivation have their roots in the circumstances of his earliest beginnings. Born in one of the poorest and most violent areas of Kingston, Jamaica to a young mother, Alvin is the youngest of five siblings. Making a leap of faith, his mother immigrated to Canada in the late 1970s with just a dream and a hope for a better life. This momentous decision offered Alvin and his family the opportunity to forever change the course of their lives.
As Alvin grew and matured, life led him to a variety of sports and athletics; he was a collegiate wrestler and holds a black belt in Tae Kwon Do and Hapkido. Alvin was also a competitive amateur boxer and, in his youth, aspired to qualify for the Olympic Games. After an intense pursuit to make the professional ranks as a boxer, Alvin’s true calling and passion revealed itself. His focus changed from having the courage to battle external opponents to pursuing the goal of helping others live a life of optimal health, peak performance and the courage they need to relentlessly pursue their personal greatness.
Professionally, Alvin is trained and certified in a number of complementary and alternative medicine practices including manual osteopathy, massage therapy, acupuncture, Chinese medicine, holistic nutrition, energy medicine, and neurolinguistic programming and an undergraduate degree in psychology. Alvin uses a combination of all these modalities in his role as an Integrated Peak Performance Consultant and is an advisor to CEO’s, executives and elite athletes. His goal is to enable his clients to achieve optimal health, peak performance, life balance and self-mastery. Currently, Alvin’s passion to lead an active lifestyle into his 50’s and beyond has led him to the in-depth study of longevity and peak performance.
Alvin is also the CEO and Founder of The Centre for Healing and Peak Performance, a multidisciplinary health, wellness and peak performance centre. The centre has two locations in Pickering and Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Alvin is also the author of “Journey to Personal Greatness: A blueprint for life balance and self-mastery” and his upcoming book, “The Entrepreneurial Code: How to starve your distractions, feed your focus, express your greatness in the world, and build a solid and stable business” is due out in fall of 2019.
Alvin was fortunate to find his life partner, Suzie, in high school at the age of 16, and for 34 years they have built an amazing life and family. They are parents to four amazing kids: Kami, Delante, Mohogany and Ebony.
