Known as the movement alchemist, Alexe is a creatrix, performer, and medical astrology-based wellness guide based in the South of France. She is the founder of Universal Movement, a unique methodology fusing cyclical living, astrology, and intuitive movement to support deep self-care and soul alignment. A Gemini Sun with Virgo Rising and a Pisces Moon, her work weaves creative expression, feminine empowerment, and holistic practices rooted in lunar rhythms and ancient wisdom.

Formerly the co-founder of London Dance Academy, Alexe has spent over two decades pioneering sensual movement and empowering thousands through dance and performance. After experiencing burnout and the transformative initiation of motherhood, she turned to Yoga Nidra, astrology, and the moon for healing, which inspired a new chapter of teaching and guiding others through cyclical self-care.
