Alex Williams

Founder, COO

Alex Williams is a hyperbaric safety protocol expert and the owner of Holistic Hyperbarics, an Oakland, California wellness clinic that delivers the proven medical benefits of hyperbarics in a tranquil setting. Before entering the world of hyperbarics, Williams was an EMT for 11 years and spent a decade serving as a homebirth doula. Inspired by her own injury-recovery journey as a triathlete, Williams initially discovered hyperbarics first as a patient and then as a practitioner. Her hyperbarics practice combines her medical expertise with her desire to help people heal, and to do so in a nurturing way that treats the whole person. Since 2017, her clinic has treated more than 800 patients with 45 different conditions. She also helps hyperbaric businesses around the U.S. adopt hospital-level safety in private clinics. 

As Alex’s business grew, so did her understanding of the potential applications of hyperbarics to myriad medical conditions and settings. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, she recognized that Hyperbarics could play a role in treating patients, but knew that something on a larger scale would be needed to address the issue systematically. Feeling helpless to somehow use her single hyperbaric clinic to help her hard-hit community, Alex began to draw up schematics and seriously consider a path to realizing her idea for a breakthrough medical device. While consulting with Michelle, they quickly realized that Alex’s hyperbaric expertise and Michelle’s industry experience would prove a successful partnership. Alex turned to her friend, Adm Golub, to help build early prototypes of the device. Working together, they marveled at the potential for their device to deliver treatment for injuries, illnesses, and ailments in both medical and regular settings. Together, Alex, Michelle, and Adm began AtmosThera with the belief that their device is going to accelerate the trajectory of healing and become a staple tool of the medical industry.
