Our Team

Alex Byrne MRICS

Beetlebum has been founded by Alex Byrne, a Chartered Quantity Surveyor and Women's Health Advocate. She has worked in the Construction Industry for over 11 years supporting clients achieve their strategic objectives, building & supporting teams, and training the next generation of surveyors.

Through the years Alex had often felt like a square peg in a round hole. Pushing to fit society's expectations of a woman in the workplace as opposed to honouring her own self. her own mission, her dharma. This ultimately led to burnout, infertility and the beginning of her yoga journey.

Alex felt that the medicalisation of women's health had led her to be quite clueless about her own health and lose her sense of intuition. She had grown up in a society where mind and body were separated, periods were a taboo, and only doctors could possibly understand how the reproductive system worked.

She then took a deep dive into the world of women's health, and never looked back. She has since found her tribe, become a proud mum of a beautiful daughter, and has trained in yoga with the aim of empowering other women to reconnect and find themselves as she did.

Services that Alex offers are;
