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
