WELCOME MY LOVE, IM ALEX

I support passionate women to recognise their wholeness, transform trauma and return to body connection so that they can experience compassion, pleasure and aliveness. 

I used to really dislike being me.

I thought that there was something deeply wrong with me. I thought that everybody was better than me, more attractive and cooler than I was and that they all had the secret answer, to a life of happiness that I was just unable to find.

  • I was riddled with guilt by the behaviours and choices that I would consistently make.

  • I was ashamed of who I was, what I looked like and how I couldn’t seem to change.

  • I would find myself in deep spirals of depression, fuelled by my inability to change, unable to find a way of ‘being me’

Of course - on the outside, I was the responsible one, the supportive one, the brave one. the strong one.

Nobody knew the truth within, because from a very young age I’d learnt ‘how to hold it all together’, be strong and look like everything’s under control.

I had what many people would consider a very loving, privileged and abundant childhood.

My parents loved me very much, I had a great circle of friends, I attended piano lessons, gymnastics, played tennis and went swimming. I had lovely home cooked meals every day, a big garden that I could cartwheel my way around, we went on road trips on the weekends and went on beautiful holidays around the world every year.

It was pretty perfect - from the outside.

However, what I went on to learn later, was that there was a lot that I didn’t receive or experience and I had to go through things, including the death of my Father and all that came following that, that no child should ever have to experience.

 

My parents loved me and I grew up in a safe environment, however …  

 
 
 
 

I was not taught or shown how to be with difficult & uncomfortable emotions. I did not have somebody by my side to be present with me emotionally. I was often left alone when things got challenging.

The ‘positive’ parts of me were celebrated and the ‘negative’ were rejected.

I felt very unseen.

My unmet needs in my early years became the foundation for my emotional dysregulation later in life.  

 

Through my early experiences, my nervous system was wired in a way that meant I did not have much capacity to be with intensity and I was unable to regulate myself (especially in a healthy and supportive way). And so, I developed an eating disorder, anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, muscle weakness and chronic, unexplained pain within my body. Along with poor boundaries, people pleasing and perfectionism. 

I had great difficulty in true, meaningful connection both with myself and others around me. 

I carried a lot of shame, guilt, numbness and disconnection.

 
 

It wasn’t until I began learning about trauma that my understanding of what I was experiencing was actually a very normal response to abnormal experiences & situations. 

I know what it feels like, to be living in a state of disconnection, stuckness and in a cycle of repeating patterns that perpetuates the dark, dull and isolating space in which shame exists. 

I know what it feels like, to come into connection with the layers of armouring and protection that have been built up within us, and return to a place that recognises our wholeness, enoughness and beauty so that we can live a life of love, freedom and aliveness.

Alex is the most loving, special, and powerful person I’ve ever met.

She opened the group up and guided us to really be aware of what was going on within us and supported us throughout. She listened and really saw and acknowledged each of us and our journeys."

I support people on their journey to living a more conscious connected life.

Since realising this power and coming home to my own wholeness, I have consciously dedicated my life to healing and guiding people on theirs. Over the 10 years of exploring various practices, I have discovered the real power of awareness, and the ability it has to heal.

Having trained in bodywork, meditation and energy healing modalities including Aromatherapy Massage and Reflexology my work may sometimes include hands on assistance. Working with the breath and the body to encourage the muscles, to release and let go, supporting the body to discharge of any stored energy.
