Cosmic Energy & Everyday Life: A Conversation with Alexe Woods

“I didn’t realise how much I needed to slow down.”

Alexe Woods is an intuitive sleep coach, astrologer, and founder of Universal Movement. Her journey is layered with reinvention and resilience—from navigating burnout and motherhood to pioneering ways of moving and resting that honor our natural rhythms.

In this conversation, Alexe shares the moments that shifted everything: growing up in a culture that celebrated relentless drive, feeling the push of ambition and exhaustion, and discovering the power of cycles in her body and life. Through astrology and the rhythms of the sun and moon, she found a language for the inner currents that often go unnoticed but deeply influence how we move, feel, and rest.

Alexe’s work is rooted in the body: how each zodiac sign maps to parts of our physical and emotional selves, and how awareness of these cycles can guide gentle, intentional living. She speaks of how deep rest—Yoga Nidra, mindfulness, and listening to the body—is not indulgence, but survival. Her insights are particularly resonant for women living cross-culturally, far from familiar support, and balancing the pressures of ambition, care, and adaptation.

Throughout our conversation, Alexe reflects on the colours of womanhood: the bright fire of ambition, the shadows of grief and exhaustion, the nurturing tones of motherhood, and the cosmic guidance of sun and moon. Her story is a reminder that rest, care, and presence are radical acts that reconnect us to ourselves.
