Alchemical Healing is the practice of attuning ourselves to — ourSelves. The Self that isn’t in pain, is always connected to wisdom and truth, and that is already whole. When we live a worldly life, we start to align ourselves with the names, dates, places, roles, and experiences we hold so important. The attunement with Self becomes incoherent and fuzzy. Alchemy helps us recognize the Self and reminds us of who we are, and where we’re going.

I foster authenticity and coherence of self, using the tools of deep listening, active imagining, ceremony and ritual, the I Ching, Tea, Bodywork, Mindfulness, and Acupuncture. I practice one-on-one, in group settings, in person and virtually.

A mind, body, spirit medicine. It is an invitation to an intentional and focused journey inward, to identify the challenges (the lead) that keep us from being our most authentic selves (the gold).

For 20 years, I have been assisting patients in their healing. Using the tools of alchemical acupuncture, I will be your guide on this journey. We can use guided meditation, body felt sense, acupuncture and spirit points, essential oils, flower essences, and herbs.

The practice of approaching healing through an alchemical perspective includes staying curious to the challenges presenting without judgment or projection. We lean into the rough patches to learn, integrate & become more resilient while allowing what is unknown to become clearer & in focus. When this type of awareness emerges, healing through integration can occur.

I am deeply interested in working with the physical, emotional & even spiritual patterns that are manifesting in our lives. As an acupuncturist, I utilize this ancient practice while incorporating various other methods from essential oils, Biodynamic massage techniques, & depth psychology. I truly love the process of unravelling the knots that are keeping us held & know healing is possible.

Alchemical Healing is a slow, intentional process of tuning into the self, in a way that fosters authenticity and inner engagement. Alchemy asks us to be willing to lean into the unknown, while at the same time holding onto a sense of what is truly “you” as a guiding principle. It is a process of discovery and at the same time, a remembering or a befriending, where all parts of you are welcomed into the room.

I have been working with the stories in the body for nearly 40 years, and bring a lifelong curiosity and respect for the magic that can happen in the treatment room. My goal is to support your growth and embodiment in the moment, as best I can, using all the tools I have cultivated over the years, including acupuncture, trauma-informed somatic mindfulness practices, Gyrotonic®, cupping, guasha, flower essences, and essential oils.
