Hi, I'm Alex

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

I create safe, sacred spaces for women to be fully, unapologetically themselves — through retreats, online cacao circles & 1:1 ceremonies.

For the women who are ready to know themselves, be themselves and remember that all the wisdom they need comes from within.


Girlhood UK retreat Retreat · UK · 30 Oct – 1 Nov

Girlhood UK

The 2-night women's retreat for the quirky girls who never quite fit in.

A 16th-century cottage in the British countryside. Halloween weekend. A small group of us 'quirky' girls — connecting, laughing, and being f*cking weird together.

Only 2 rooms left.

This is what I've been waiting for →

Girlhood Abroad Retreat · Barcelona · 27–31 May 2027

Girlhood Abroad

The 4-night Spanish villa retreat for the 'young, wild & free' women.

An 18th-century luxury eco-farm villa in the middle of the Catalan vineyards. For the 'wildling-turned-holistic' women who want to heal, dance & belly laugh together.

Only 12 spaces.

I need this →

The Ritual Online · 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. You, exactly as you are.

The Ritual 1:1

a personalised 1:1 cacao ceremony — guiding you to explore and connect profoundly with the spirit of cacao.

Group ceremonies are meaningful — but 1:1 ceremonies can be transformational. Three journeys to choose from depending on how deep you want to go.

Hi, I'm Alex — the human behind Root To Rise.

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 didn't have growing up — and these two pillars are at the heart of everything I create.
