Hi, I'm Alex

space holder · retreat leader · the human behind Root To Rise

Through cacao circles & retreats, I create safe, sacred spaces for women to be fully, unapologetically themselves.

For the women who are ready to lean into their 'weird', and remember that all the wisdom they need, comes from within.

Girlhood UK

  • 🍂 frolicking in nature
  • 🍳 chaotic kitchen energy
  • 🫂 actually being seen & understood
  • 🕸️ witchy women doing witchy sh*t

This is what I've been waiting for
The Ritual 26 Jul · 27 Sept · 29 Nov

The Ritual

an online cacao ceremony — to find stillness, reconnect inwards, and sit in sacred sisterhood.

Once every couple of months, women from across the world gather for a slow Sunday morning together. Mama Cacao, likeminded women, and you — exactly as you are.

The Pause ✦ in collaboration with Francesca Secolonovo Sunday 6th December · London

The Pause

A day to step away from the noise and return to yourself.

Through movement, breath, cacao, authentic connection, Reiki, Yin and sound — a space to step out of the noise, drop into the body and reconnect with something deeper within.

Winter is our time to slow down, listen a little deeper and remember the part of you that can so easily get lost in the doing.

Come exactly as you are. Leave feeling a little lighter.

  • 🕙 10am – 5pm
  • 📍 Luv Yourself Studio, London E16
  • 🎟 £127

Hi, I'm Alex

I'm not a master, a teacher, or someone who is here to instruct you or "heal" you. I'm here to sit alongside you, guide you, and be a part of your journey.

The freedom to be your full, true self & find safety in sisterhood is something that so many of us are needing, and these two pillars are at the heart of everything I create.
