Hey, I’m Alex.

Master Certified Coach. MSc in Leadership and Strategy. Human Design obsessive.

I ran nightclubs, then events, then comms for a two-billion-pound business. Then I took a leap to do my own thing: help you stop running your life on someone else’s strategy.

Naive? Brave? Or just here to have one hell of a life.

Gossip.

★★★★★

Learning more about me now than in the last 30-odd years.

Uncannily accurate. I found myself thinking, ‘How does she know this?’ more than once. Almost chilling, in the best way.

Nicole Khamooshi

★★★★★

It’s like magic!

I feel so seen. I feel like it’s magic. It’s a dream, so fascinating, engrossing, satisfying.

★★★★★

I love this.

The clearest breakdown of my HD I’ve ever seen, and the most helpful in terms of showing me how to use it in my life.

Marie-Elizabeth Mali

★★★★★

I took this to marriage guidance.

It’s very specific in an almost spooky way. It really gets to the heart of who I am. I’m moving faster in my business and better in my marriage.

Kara Kull

★★★★★

This is the best experience.

She connected patterns, strengths, motivations and blind spots in a way that helped me better understand myself and the decisions I’ve been making in my life and business.

Nicole Khamooshi

★★★★★

The Book of Me.

It’s like reading ‘The Book of Me.’ Everything was connected to everything else. It made it all so clear.

Sandra Booker

★★★★★

It’s a boost.

And I felt kinda motivated. You gave advice that I hadn’t heard from anybody before, like, make sure all your offers are things that you can sell through your Substack, which was kind of eye-opening. The way you talked about my writing motivated me to write a post.

★★★★★

I’m letting things go.

It has truly shifted the way I’m moving through life. I’m letting things go, finding more energy, and trusting myself.
