By sharing her journey into motherhood, Alexia puts the spotlight on the still well-established taboo of pregnancy loss. Although it happens more frequently than most people would think, there is a persisting belief that such an event should not be talked about, since it is part of the invisible sphere. This leads to a sense of shame and guilt and is often associated with depression in women experiencing such invisible losses. With her vulnerable and empathetic way of connecting with her audience, she sheds light on the importance of breaking the cycle of stigma and shame, originating in the silence, and fuelling the taboo.

Her story of acceptance and resilience is not only inspiring to individuals, but also to organisations, who have never been more concerned than now about their employees’ mental health and well-being.

Alexia has over 15 years of experience leading Asia-Pacific regional sales, business development, and marketing in multinational organisations. After spending eight years in Shanghai, she moved to Singapore in 2014. Passionate about human connections and personal development, she is a certified coach and loves to apply coaching skills in her day-to-day work. Engineer by background, what she likes the most is to connect with people, which she combines with her strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities.

Alexia is also a strong advocate of mindfulness and holds a yoga teacher certification. When she is not working, Alexia spends most of her time with her three children, who know very well how to keep her busy.
