i'm alexandra galviz. you may know me as authentic alex.
I once lived by rules I didn’t write. I sought to perform, prove, and power through. I built a life that looked full but felt hollow. The closer I adhered to expectations, the further I drifted from myself.
​
Then, everything unravelled.
​
And in that unravelling, I found the truth I’m here to share:
There’s another way.
​
Not the path of proving or performing, but of returning. To self and to soul. To living, leading, and expressing in a way deeply aligned with who I’m truly meant to be.
​
Now, I guide others through their own unravelling. I work with individuals and organisations ready to shed what no longer fits and step into something truer. Because when we return to who we truly are, we don’t just succeed.
​
We expand.
the story: boss girl to moss girl
"Once upon a time, a young woman entered the forest with a broken heart and a broken womb. She was so bereft with grief; she didn’t even realise she had gotten lost. She searched and searched for a way to get back home, her tears making the soil fertile. As she pilgrimed through dense and dark woods, she began to awaken ancient and ancestral gifts. She learnt that she could pull down heaven from the skies, that her words were medicine laced with beauty, and that stories were alive and alchemical. On her way she met witches, fairies, and ghosts, followed the smoke to a cabin in the woods filled with good women until she eventually moved in. And one day, on an ordinary day when there was dirt under her fingernails, beech nuts flying into her hair, and caterpillars landing on her lap, she noticed that belonging had sprouted from her tears. She realised that there was no home to go back to, the earth had claimed her."

1:1 Guiding & Courses
You’ve climbed the ladder and hit the marks, yet there’s a whisper in your soul that something is missing. You’ve been playing the game, but now it’s time to play your own. I’m here to help you brush away the fog and reveal your aligned path. You don’t need to reinvent your career. You simply must rediscover your truth to embody the leader you were meant to be.
what i value
I believe in authenticity above all else.
To be rewilded is to embrace each unfiltered, unruly part of ourselves. I believe creativity is the alchemy of reimagining what can be, reclaiming lost pieces, and weaving magic into the everyday. I believe it takes courage to draw outside the lines and paint a new reality. I believe wisdom hums in our bones, in the echoes of the land and our ancestors, waiting to be remembered. And I believe belonging means coming home to yourself and the quiet truth that you were always enough.
my mission
I am here to walk with you back to your truest self.
It’s easy to lose your voice in such a loud, busy world suffocated by deadlines, expectations, and KPIs. But it’s still there, waiting to be heard. I’ll help you uncover the truth waiting inside through stories, creativity, and reflection. This is where strategy meets soul, and clarity, courage, and connection guide you home to wholeness.
my vision
I envision a world where you lead from your full power and purpose.
A world where creativity, courage, and connection are the threads that guide you home to your true self. You invite others to do the same when you step into your truth. That ripple of transformation creates lasting, meaningful change, awakening and inspiring everyone it touches.
