I began this work because I know what it feels like to be a woman with a deep, soul-rooted calling — and to be both afraid of your own power and unsure how to give it voice.

For years, I witnessed brilliant, soulful women dim their voices to fit into systems that were never built for us. Systems built on extraction, perfectionism, and disconnection — from our bodies, our truth, the Earth, and each other.

I saw change makers burning out trying to show up as the perfect professionals, spiritual entrepreneurs second-guessing every word, and wise leaders shrinking their medicine to fit into a box.

Their story was my own. And that of my maternal ancestors.

MEET YOUR MENTOR

ALEXANDRA RAQUEL

Like all of us, I have been shaped by colonization, patriarchy, and the pressure to prove my worth by doing more. But underneath it all, there has always been a knowing — a deeper pulse — whispering that there is another way.

Conectada was born from that whisper.

It’s a remembering. A reclamation.

A space for women to return to the sacred — to themselves.

Guided by my maternal Quechua lineage, feminist Earth-rooted values, and two decades of experience in storytelling, ceremony, and embodied transformation, I created Conectada to help women reconnect to their intuitive wisdom and step into soul-led leadership.

Conectada is not just about personal growth.

It’s about cultural healing — reweaving what’s been severed.

Through sacred ceremony, soul work, and resonant messaging, I support women to shed internalized patriarchal patterns we’ve internalized, embody who they truly are, and lead in ways that feel good, honest, and sustainable.

Because the world we long for will not be built through hustle or hollow branding — it will be woven through presence, truth, and courageous becoming.

VALUES THAT SET US APART

01 / ANCESTRAL WISDOM

Honouring the teachings of those who came before us.

We carry with us the sacred lineages, stories, and Earth-based traditions that came before us — the ways of being and doing that were silenced, but never lost. Ancestral wisdom lives in our bones, in the Earth, and in the spaces in between — waiting to be remembered.

We honour the wisdom of the lineages the world needs now — traditions rooted in reciprocity, regeneration and collective care. This means listening across time, healing intergenerational wounds, and choosing to walk with reverence — so that we might become good ancestors for those yet to come.
02/ DEEP & SACRED ECOLOGY

Remembering our sacred union with the Earth.

We recognize Earth as a living being — an ancient intelligence, a sacred teacher and acknowledging that we are nature, not separate from it.
This means letting the Earthly and Cosmic rhythms guide how we work, create, and belong — valuing organic growth and rest as essential parts of evolution. It means revering land as kin, while we root our leadership in reciprocity, and not domination.
03/ FEMININE POWER & SOVEREIGNTY

Feminine power arises from deep listening, embodiment, relational wisdom and connection — to self, to others, and to the Earth. It’s rooted, relational, and remembered.

Feminine sovereignty is our birthright to embody that power fully.
This means honouring our cycles, trusting the body as sacred, sovereign and wise. It means choosing spaciousness, listening to and speaking from the soul. It’s a power and sovereignty that nourishes — not just ourselves, but the world we’re shaping.

Born of mixed Quechua and Canadian settler ancestry, Alex’s work emerges from the fertile intersection of her Indigenous lineage, deep ecology, and over two decades of guiding women through embodied transformation. She is a trained Priestess and Ceremonialist, known for creating profound spaces of remembrance where women reconnect with their intuition, ancestral wisdom, and the cyclical rhythms of the Earth.
