I believe that nutrition and lifestyle have such power to influence well-being and happiness. I am passionate about food and natural supplements and how they can unlock health strategies within our bodies. I love adventure, travel, nature and any activity that takes me outside – walking, running, cycling, sailing, open water swimming and winter bathing. BSc Sports Science and Social Biology. City & Guilds Diploma Nutrition, Child Nutrition and Obesity, Nutrition for Sports and Exercise and Behaviour Change. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4fd9b3d347c00748488b23/1603206512694-XT6J5XBHM5BMUX2BQ4AF/giraffes.jpg About MY STORY I trained in BSc Sports Science and Nutrition at the University of Surrey, UK followed with two years as a personal fitness trainer at the Harbour Club, Chelsea in London. After 20 years in Africa and a move to Denmark, I completed a City and Guilds Nutrition Diploma focusing on weight management and nutrition, child nutrition and obesity, nutrition for sports and exercise and behaviour change. During my 20 years based in Kenya, I worked in 13 countries in East and Central Africa for the food and nutrition agencies of the United Nations (World Food Programme WFP and Food and Agriculture Organisation FAO), UNICEF, International NGOs (Oxfam, Save the Children, The Red Cross) and National Governments. I worked with vulnerable communities in war zones and famine crises, assessing seasonal food needs and advising humanitarian and development agencies and Government on food aid, nutrition support, agriculture strategies and policy to support early warning for climate change and early appropriate response. In 2014 I moved to Denmark where I continued consultancy work for nutrition international humanitarian and development partners whilst at the same time started working with clients – mainly in mid-life who struggle with weight management issues and low energy levels. Many complain of symptoms associated with hormone imbalance and based on this I started researching into the science behind the hormones that affect women at different stages of their life. I began to develop programmes on how to use different food, herbs, natural supplements and essential oils to support the entire endocrine system. https://www.alexandracrosskey.com/wellness-coaching daily 0.75 2022-06-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4fd9b3d347c00748488b23/1604066440005-BXYAHTWDPEZMSFTA9JLR/kombucha.jpg Wellness Coaching https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4fd9b3d347c00748488b23/1604410501195-IITF9261PNKSTAPY1ED8/greens+and+almonds Wellness Coaching https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4fd9b3d347c00748488b23/1604066338030-3P1WRWHETYUQZBQ7RWZI/seeds.jpg Wellness Coaching https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4fd9b3d347c00748488b23/1603209484444-YQRNKDSO96YOFKXB02JA/corporate-coaching.jpg Wellness Coaching https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4fd9b3d347c00748488b23/1603211689466-Y6046XQSJR7J375GAFUQ/girl-reading.jpg Wellness Coaching https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4fd9b3d347c00748488b23/1603209375450-DL0SKKG2X4TE2IWZL01H/group-of.women.jpg Wellness Coaching https://www.alexandracrosskey.com/events daily 0.75 2022-06-23 https://www.alexandracrosskey.com/general-1 daily 1.0 2021-02-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4fd9b3d347c00748488b23/1604410501195-IITF9261PNKSTAPY1ED8/green-salad.jpg Home - Balancing Workshops Bring balance into your life Discover strategies towards a balanced diet, balanced hormones and a balanced gut https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4fd9b3d347c00748488b23/1604411243164-7BXFQTL2XY0IB2UQZW2C/meno-cafe-cph.jpg Home - Menopause Café Nordic Monthly meetings creating a community to discuss menopause in a safe space https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4fd9b3d347c00748488b23/1604332130045-4AS15C3MJB0GY5CVXBJ1/green-smoothie Home - Knowledge is power, so it is when coping with mid-life.

Alexandra is the Nordic Focal Point for the Menopause Café and commits to supporting this initiative to roll out throughout the Nordics – the start of the Menopause Revolution. “Through these Cafés, I want to reach as many women as possible.” 95% of women from 40 plus go through menopause, and on average spend a third of their life post-menopausal. That’s almost half of the population with 80% of women experiencing one or more of the 34 menopausal symptoms. Menopause is a major part of women hood. Menopause affects women in different ways – no two women have the same menopause. Some symptoms are common but mostly each woman has their own set of symptoms, both emotional and physical. Some treatments work for some but not necessarily everyone. There is a lack of understanding and consistent information out there about the menopause, and that’s why it is important that within a community we start to feel comfortable about talking about the menopause. ‘The menopause isn’t redemptive – it’s full of pain and loss, sweat and tears; and above all, it isn’t one-size-fits-all.’ Cally Beaton https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/may/23/menopausal-50-hotter-20s-older-woman At the Menopause Café, people, often strangers, gather to eat cake, drink tea and discuss menopause. The Menopause Café is a discussion in an accessible, respectful and confidential safe space. The format is simple with no preset agenda, where the topics are chosen by the participants on the day. The Menopause Café was set up in June 2017 by Rachel Weiss as a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO) but has become a global initiative with Cafes being held all over the UK from Perth to Petersfield and Ontario, Canada. It is run entirely by volunteers and is a non-profit organisation. We need to talk about menopause and ‘make it a regular topic of conversation’. Andrea Davies https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/aug/29/menopause-cafes-women-creative-surge Alexandra Crosskey, the focal point for The Menopause Café in the Nordics, held the first Menopause Café in København in November 2019, followed by a series of Menopause Workshops providing strategies for women using nutrition, herbs, natural supplements, essential oils and exercise/yoga/meditation to support menopause and the 34 symptoms associated with menopause. Alexandra continues to hold Menopause Cafés throughout the Nordics with a monthly café in København, and planning future events this year in Århus and Sweden. The plan is to get a ripple effect where women who participate in a Menopause Café, then go and hold their own café with their own community of women. https://www.alexandracrosskey.com/contact-us daily 0.75 2020-11-24
