I am certainly in the eye of a storm.
We are collectively in the eye of a storm.
Truth
Horror
Revelation
Intensity
Pain
Fear
Shock
But what does wild storms do? It riffles up the stagnant patterns and creates space for change and a whole new paradigm to be born.
Do you feel it too?
For me learning to surrender to the intense emotions I’ve been feeling not running away from them has been a transformation.
It’s opening up creative space, new inspirations, new ideas, clarity for my clients and work in the word…
Do not run from the eye of the storm. Instead, dance in the rain with wind, dirt, leaves thrashing around washing away stagnancy and opening up a portal of space, clairty, newness, expansion.
How can you go to your next level, more aligned clients, more impact, more money, more energy, more depth…. if you havnt leaned into the intensity, if you’ve been hiding away….
Surrender into becoming a woman who can hold more capacity whilst having the nervous system strength to expand with radiance and feminine essence?
It’s time ladies.
Our next Womens Healing Retreat “She’s Unstoppable” is on next Saturday the 7th of March at The Sanctuary Retreat from 10am, a few tickets remain, please dm asap to inquire.
PS If you would love to make 2026 the year you go to tour next level and truly shine drop “thrive” below and I’ll dm you information about my 1:1 program.

Every moment is a reminder that life is worth living.
This is a flashback from when I was leading retreats in Sri Lanka about 7 years ago.
It was super fun and inspiring BUT it was also challenging to run retreats for three months straight!
As I write this I am laying on the green grass here at The Sanctuary after flying back from a 6 week trip o.s. Today
For me, the start to this year of the horse has been one of the most stressful and challenging in my life.
I’m not ready to share what has been going on but it shoock me to my core and had me nearly having to go to hospital due to the degree of turmoil + mental, emotional and physical pain I went through.
What I intuitively did as I was by myself and had no support was to lay on the earth outside my room.
I couldn’t get a hug or any human contact so I literally found myself hugging the earth and also chanting mantras plus doing yoga and breathwork.
If it wasn’t for these tools, I don’t think I would have made it home on the flight.
I am further healing my nervous system now by laying on the grass.
But I want to point out to you that we all go through immense pain, pressure, threat or stress at some point in our life.
And what makes the difference is to not GET CRUSHED by the pressure of life. If we have tools like breathwork, yoga, chanting we can help our nervous system to regulate and we can be with how we are feeling instead of trying to simply escape it.
This was definitely a huge initiation for me into this new energy. I was stripped bare.
How has your ending to the year of the snake been?
After this immense shock and stress I feel so grateful for the life that I have. Before I always felt the need for more travel, more this or that or to to have a family or husband or more expansion through the Sanctuary.
This experience has cracked me open to finally feel how rich, how abundant, how magic my life already is…..
Not with adding more but with deeply feeling and receiving what I already have.
Can you relate?
Love Alexis x
