Alexa Julianne
Alexa Julianne is a patient success consultant and founder of EntheoStudio, working at the intersection of psychedelic-assisted therapy and clinical systems design. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Cell and Molecular Biology from the University of California, Los Angeles, where she developed a strong scientific foundation that later informed her work in clinical research and healthcare systems. She began her career in the psychedelic field over six years ago, including a role as a Clinical Systems Specialist at MAPS Public Benefit Corporation (now Lykos Therapeutics), where she supported clinical infrastructure development and contributed to efforts preparing psychedelic-assisted therapies for regulatory review.
Her professional background spans clinical research writing, systems implementation, and science communication across multiple organizations in the psychedelic space. She has contributed to industry publications such as Microdose Psychedelic Insights and Psychedelic Science Review, synthesizing complex clinical trial data on psychedelic compounds and therapeutic applications. Alongside her research and writing work, she has also developed expertise in patient engagement, email marketing strategy, and digital communication systems, focusing on improving how clinics educate and support patients throughout treatment journeys.
In her current role as founder of EntheoStudio, she partners with psychedelic and ketamine clinics to design structured integration and patient support systems that extend care beyond clinical sessions. Her work focuses on patient journey mapping, integration tracking systems, and operational workflows that improve retention, reduce drop-off, and strengthen continuity of care. Drawing from behavioral science, chronic care models, and implementation frameworks, she aims to help clinics standardize integration practices so patients receive consistent support and improved long-term outcomes.

What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to this drive that I've just always had to keep researching. I love researching, I love learning, and I just get so excited to learn more, to do more, to be more, and it keeps me fulfilled and happy and moving forward. Even while I was on maternity leave, I was still doing the research and just getting excited about it. The mental health component is something that I've struggled with personally, as has my own mother and so many of my family and friends. The inspiration to improve mental health is definitely a huge driver as well. I've been sitting back for the past couple of years, watching and researching, going through my own personal journey of psychedelic-assisted therapy, and I really wanted to find out where do I fit into this field and how can I help. Finally understanding that this integration piece is so important for this field, and there's so much more room for improvement, is where I feel really proud to understand personally how to make it through the personal struggles that I've had and wanting to prevent that from happening to other people that are really trying to get better.
What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best advice would be to try to be your best, but to do it while in a community. For a long time, I was just doing my research online, being alone, trying to figure out myself where could I fit in. But now, the reaching out to the community, the getting involved, that's what's been what just fast-tracked the success. Being and trying to be the best, but do it by asking questions, get involved, be out there, see what others are doing, and talk to them. Yeah, just reaching out is huge.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
I would advise young women entering my industry to actively reach out and engage with the community, ask thoughtful questions, and learn from others. Building relationships and staying involved can significantly accelerate both learning and professional growth.
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
One of the biggest challenges in my field is the inconsistent implementation of integration practices, which can lead to gaps in care and the risk of patients falling through the cracks. At the same time, this presents a strong opportunity to develop standardized and measurable integration systems that improve consistency, enhance outcomes, and minimize potential harm as the field continues to grow.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
As a mother of two toddlers, my personal life keeps me grounded and busy, which reinforces the importance of balance and purpose in everything I do. In both my work and personal life, I value community, patient safety, and a strong commitment to reducing harm. I am also deeply dedicated to advancing mental health through rigorous research and the development of thoughtful, effective clinical systems that improve care and outcomes.
