MY STORY

I’m an only child, but I grew up in a big, loud Irish family surrounded by fierce, loving women (my dad was not around much) —my aunts, cousins, my mum—and lots of tea. Their strength, laughter, stories, and no-nonsense warmth shaped me more than anything else.

As a little girl I lived in my own world and loved the alternative. Dyslexia turned school into a foreign language, so I spoke through movement: singing, dancing, acting, anything that let my huge feelings spill out without needing perfect sentences. Creativity wasn’t a hobby, it was how I survived and felt free in my emotions. 

Fast-forward: Despite having a big knee injury in my teens, I built what looked like a dream career— as a performer, event boss, stage manager, and co-founder of London’s hottest dance academy, brands on speed-dial, hundreds of women moving through my classes each week. From the outside: glitter, yes; success, yes. Behind it? I was a walking battery on two percent charge—workaholic, no self-care (as I didn't really believe in it or really understand what it was), stuck in a toxic relationship, pushing myself to my limits.

That decision to finally leave that relationship created a ripple that turned into a tidal wave of change over the next several years.

The biggest—but best—wave of all arrived in 2017, when I became a mum followed by a move to France, my partner’s (now husband’s) home country, and I tried to keep running the London academy from afar. My daughter was one of those magical babies who believed sleep was optional. Nights blurred into days, days into months. I shuffled around like a zombie, pouring from a cracked cup until—snap—I realised if I didn’t start looking after myself, there would soon be nothing left of me to give.

Eventually I had to let the business go—the thing I had built from nothing, the place that had been my identity for fifteen years. Handing it over cracked something open in me. And it wasn’t just the business. Old friendships slipped away. I went from a huge team, thousands of students, and a buzzing social circle… to silence. Just me, a tiny sleepless human, and the deafening echo of who am I now?

That’s when yoga nidra found me. One 20-minute guided recording in the dark, while my daughter finally napped on my chest. Something in me unclenched for the first time in years. My nervous system remembered what safety felt like. That one practice became a daily lifeline, and slowly—very slowly—it began stitching me back together along with tracking the lunar cycle.

Then my dad was diagnosed with throat cancer. We’d had a difficult relationship, but in his last six months of looking after him we softened, healed what we could. When he passed in 2019, my heart broke open in a new way. I turned back to my studies — moonology and astrology — and discovered my birth chart and medical astrology. Suddenly, everything aligned: my intensity, my sensitivity, my patterns of burnout and healing. It felt as if the sky gave me a map back to myself.

From all of it, moon manifesting, yoga Nidra, body astrology, Universal Movement was born in March 2021: simple, pleasurable, preventative self-care and movement that helps you feel like YOU again, without having to fall apart first.

It’s the method I wish I’d had in my 20s and 30s — and the one I want my daughter, and every woman, to grow up knowing: that there is another way. A way to move, breathe, and live in harmony with your natural rhythms. A way to align your life with the ancient wisdom of the sun, the moon, the seasons, and the unique blueprint of your birth chart. This is the key we were never taught.

Today, Universal Movement is home to an incredible sisterhood of teachers, healers, yogis, and coaches (meet them below). Together, we hold space for you to reconnect, rediscover yourself, trust your intuition, manifest with intention, and make life feel like well... magical again.

Whether you’re a burnt-out boss lady, a mum who hasn’t felt like herself in years, or simply someone who wants to move through life with more ease and less force… this is for you.

Thank you for being here. I can’t wait to live this journey with you. ✨

Much Love, Alexe

MY MISSION 

My mission is to change the way women experience self-care.

To move beyond quick fixes and surface-level wellness—
and return to something deeper, more intuitive, and truly sustainable.

A way of living that honours the body,
respects the nervous system,
and works in rhythm with the natural cycles of the sun and moon.

Through movement, rest, and embodied astrology,
I guide women back to themselves—
so they can feel more connected, more supported, and fully in their power. So they can lead the life they wish and become the forces of nature they truly are.
