Meet Alex

Hi, I’m Alex—a Wild Guide, Life & Leadership Coach, and improv-and-clowning-loving Brit living in Manhattan.

The world is aching for reconnection.
So are we.
We’re not meant to walk alone.

So many of us are longing for something we can’t quite name—a way to feel whole again. A way to belong without striving or performing. To feel close to the Earth not as a concept, but as a living, breathing presence woven into our everyday lives.

I created this offering because I needed it myself.

During the pandemic, like so many others, I turned to nature. And slowly, the Earth became my lifeline.

A tree outside my fire escape. The rhythm of sunsets. A bird circling above 7th Avenue. These weren’t just moments of beauty—they were sacred encounters.
They held my grief.
They cracked open my heart.
They helped me receive love in ways I hadn’t yet been able to receive from other humans.
They reminded me: I belong.

That experience led me into deeper commitment—through nature-based spiritual direction, ancestral Celtic wisdom, and a four-year journey with the Center for Wild Spirituality, where I became a certified Wild Guide and served as COO.

I’m especially grateful to Victoria Loorz, founder of the Center, who invited me into this sacred way of listening with my whole being—and saw my voice and leadership before I had the courage to fully claim them.

I’ve had the honor of co-building and guiding the Center’s two-year Seminary of the Wild Earth program, studying alongside brilliant humans and learning from wild places—including the mossy forests of Ireland, where I began to reconnect with my own ancestral roots in druidic and Celtic spirituality.

But the most profound teacher has always been the Earth herself—especially right here in New York City.

While much of the two-year program was online, the weekly practice of wandering in nature—always in the city—became my spiritual anchor.

I’ve had sacred conversations with rabbits in Central Park, ceremonies at brighten beach, poured my grief into the arms of trees, offered my questions to the Hudson River beholding sunrises and sunsets, and played on fallen logs with butterflies in Prospect Park.

This city, and the wildness quietly woven through it, has been my sanctuary.
My compassionate witness.
My guide.

The Holy Wild is not somewhere else.
She’s here—in the cracks of the sidewalk, in the rhythm of your breath, in the unexpected stillness between sirens.

Through daily conversations with the tree outside my window, long walks beside the river with my dog, and the slow soul-knitting of dreamwork, archetypes, and imaginal practice, I’ve remembered what most of us have been conditioned to forget.

We are part of a great web of kinship.
We are already in sacred relationship.
We don’t have to earn that connection—we simply have to slow down, notice, listen, and remember.

Love is already here.

That’s what I now offer to others—through guided nature experiences, coaching, group journeys, and wonder-infused play.

Not to teach, but to hold space where you can remember what your own body and soul already know to be true.

Because I believe this with all my heart:
New York City is alive with beings longing to connect with us busy city people.
And the wild isn’t something you have to find—it’s something you learn to pay attention to.

Most of all, I trust in the wisdom of your own soul, spirit, body, and relationship with the living world. That’s the real guide.

I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
