My BIG Why 

I lost my mother to colon cancer when she was only 57 years old--I was 36 at the time. When I was 42, I lost one of my best friends to Sarcoma, another cancer. This beautiful friend of mine was one of the "healthiest" people I knew.  She worked out, and hadn't eaten one deep fried item since we were 18 years old.  Losing these two influential people in my life set my life's work into motion. 

  • I wanted to help people feel better.  

  • I want to do everything in my power to live longer than my mother... much much longer.  

​

This incredible journey has led me to heal my own body, become a licensed manual therapist, and MELT Method Instructor, study coaching, functional nutrition, and now all things blood!  I am like an Alchemist searching for the elixir of life ~ our best path to Optimal Health.

 

Today I combine my experience, my knowledge of the body, and my soul-full orientation to life to help people feel better, and transform their lives--for good.  

​

Who Am I? 

How can I tell you all of who I am by What I do? Or have done?

I am Multi-Faceted.  I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fiber Art, and a Minor in Women's Studies.  I have facilitated workshops, led community design/build projects.  I have led classes, and circles, and held space for transformation, inquiry, and reflection.

​

I am woman, girl, cousin, daughter, niece, granddaughter, business owner, advocate, full participator, health nut, science geek, writer, entrepreneur.  I dance, and drum, and tone.  I am tuned into the cycles of the seasons. I journal. I collage. I dream.  I travel. I play. I set intentions, and take empowered actions to get more of what I want.  I am in service to the healing of the planet, one action, one intention, and healing one beautiful soul at a time. 

​

Meander these pages and in each section I share my story, and my trainings.  Nobody wants to read a CV.  Enjoy the Journey, meander, watch, read, book an appointment ~ Let's Have a Heart to Heart.

​

I look forward to getting to know you.  

Welcome.

​

I have learned to lean into and sit with the dynamic tension of where I am, and the contrast of what I want.  

 

I have become a Master of Habit Change, and a Queen of Self Care.  

 

I have taken courses, and done the work.  I have walked through the fire & risen from the ashes.

Why Alchemy Wellness?

Alchemy is the ancient art/study of transformation. I love this as a starting place, a metaphor, analogy... Yes.  This is the work that I do as well.  

 

Ancient Alchemists:

  • Studied the Transmutation of Matter

  • Aimed to turn Metals (Life's Challenges) into Gold

  • Sought the Universal Elixir of Optimal Health

  • Split all forms of matter into a trinity of Body, Mind, & Soul.

​

Tenants of Alchemy:

Healthy Body ~ Calm Mind ~ Happy Soul

​

Healthy Body

The physical body consists of: Blood, Muscles, Bone, Connective Tissue, Water, and Microbes. Body is the structure that our soul inhabits--Our Space Suit.  I aim to rebalance health and physical imbalances, to optimize function

​

Practices to support Your Body:

  • Enhance Microcirculation

  • Enhance Neural-Fascial Communication

  • Release Trauma & Stuck Stress 

  • Get Bodywork

  • Learn to be Embodied

  • MELT

Calm Mind

In ancient studies of alchemy, Mind & Spirit are one. I think of this as the personality construct, or EGO. Eastern ideologies remind us that "monkey mind" and overactive thinking is detrimental for our health.

​

Nourish Your Mind Practices:

  • Slow Down

  • Breathe

  • Quiet In

  • Meditate

  • Practice Gratitude

Happy Soul

Soul is the essence that activates our physical bodies. Eastern traditions refer to soul as "The Observer Within." In ancient alchemical practices Soul is consciousness.

​

Practices to Nourish Your Soul:

  • Listen to Your Heart

  • Live in Alignment

  • Honor Intuitive Nudges

  • Choose to Remain Awake

  • Choose Soul-Filling People/Places/Things
