MOVEMENT, FOOD, AND TRAVEL FOR A WONDERFULLY WILD LIFE

BOOK A PRIVATE CHEF
BOOK YOGA

I'm Alexa… or Lexy to most. I’m a yoga teacher, private chef, and retreat host. For nearly a decade I've been cooking and teaching on yachts, in sun-soaked villas, poolside at hotels, and everywhere in between. Brooklyn-raised, Caribbean-based since 2018, and now calling Barbados home base. Wild Thing Wellness is what that life looks like in practice: movement that holds up when life is life-ing, food that tastes like where you are, and experiences worth pausing for.

The yoga I teach is an invitation into curiosity and the edges of what your body can hold. My cooking is rooted in culture, memory, and wherever I happen to be. Together they're how I see nourishment: an ecosystem of practices, not a diet.

This life is wild, grounded, curious, complicated, and full. It's not an aesthetic. It's not an escape. It's a way of actually living.

What I Do
Three people practicing partner yoga or acro yoga on a porch with stone wall, outdoors, during daytime.

yoga

An invitation into your body, not a performance of it. I teach movement that builds strength, creates space, and meets you exactly where you are. Private sessions, small groups, villas, corporate settings, and retreat facilitation in Barbados, SVG, and beyond. 1:1 from $125

Private Chef

Food is memory, culture, and place on a plate. Globally influenced, locally grounded, always personal. I'm available as your private chef for retreats, yachts, villas, one-off events, and clients wanting regular chef services. From $300 USD/day.
