Hey friend, i'M Alex!

Irrational optimist, lover of kitchen dance parties, and advocate of wellness for real world women.

After a big life transition at 14, my Mum and I left my family and home in the UK with nothing with our backpacks and moved to New Zealand. I then spent a long time feeling disconnected from myself, and searching for a solid sense of belonging. Finally, I discovered how to feel truly at home in my body  no matter where I am.

After two decades of exploration, study & practice, I've built a whole career grounded in movement, mindset, nutrition, and nervous system flexibility. I guide others toward balance, presence, and authenticity from a place of realness and embodied understanding.
