ALEXE'S STORY
My path with magic and movement began in my youth, as dance became a powerful outlet for expressing my emotions. In my early twenties, I co-founded London Dance Academy, the first alternative movement school. Over 14 years, I served as CEO, introducing disciplines like pole dance and sensual movement to the mainstream. Managing a team of over 50 staff and overseeing 200 weekly classes, I led a fast-paced life as a successful dance studio owner, alongside my other passion organising numerous gigs, festivals, and events within the alternative scene. However, like many female business owners, I found myself pushing myself to its limits both physically and mentally, neglecting self-care as work consumed me.
On becoming pregnant with my daughter Sophia, I started to experienced burnout and realised the need for a change and made the very hard decided to leave my creation behind, seeking healing and energy replenishment. It was during this time that I discovered the lunar phases and began following the cycle linked to our feminine energy rhythm. This newfound interest led me down various paths, exploring energy work, chakras, elements, and delving into medical astrology, crafting this with my movement skills. Currently, I reside in the star-bathed Cevennes National Park in France though I am regularly travelling for events, retreats and workshops.
With over 20 years of experience, I have earned a solid reputation as an innovator and respected pioneer in the dance and movement industry. Collaborating with renowned brands such as Stella McCartney, Adidas, Nike, and Samsung, I have dedicated my professional life to empowering women and instilling confidence through a fresh perspective on movement and self-care.
My methodology is born out of a deep desire to help women discover their unique and authentic self-care hidden with in their birth chart, and Universal Movement is here to do just that as well as revolutionizes the way women perceive self care and they movement needs, offering an alternative to traditional fitness, gym routines. By tapping into the lunar phases, planets, elements, chakras, the narrative of astrology and the energy on offer to us this method allows women to align with their natural rhythms and connect with their personal magic. By harnessing the power of our cosmic blueprint, found within our birth charts, we can find our true selves, achieve physical and emotional balance, and feel aligned and connected no matter where you are on your self care or healing journey.
