Creating a safe space for you to heal
Following the path to healing through natural, holistic ways
your Journey
Your LIfe, Your choices
Navigating life isn't easy, but you don't have to do it alone.
Healing is possible. There is always a way if we are willing to look for it.
Guiding the process of healing within.
Alchemy is the process of blossoming. If we want change or recovery, sometimes that means a new path and a shift away from the old. Moving on and finding healing, or perhaps coming back to or learning the authentic self.
Healing is a delicate process and the experience is on every level. Some
of us are starting and some of us are already on this journey. I believe my healing never ends, and my commitment to my work is my own work.
You are not alone. Life can hit like a tsunami sometimes and we all need support. Alchemy is about transforming and becoming so much more, letting your experiences be your strength.
Healing.

On a day that you are coming in, I recommend that the rest of your day is as stress free and commitment free as possible. I also recommend that you drink plenty of water and maybe even use water as therapy that day with an intentional therapeutic bath, shower, or waterside visit. Water is an amazing healer for our emotional body.

Feedback from Clients
Every time I come in Laura feels my mood and mind set and she centres me and puts things in perspective. Big or small. Today I came in with a scattered and stressed mind and I leave now at ease and with a spring in my step.

Today was better than being on a beach! So relaxing + healing + sweet. What a gift! 💗
-M
Laura! Thank you! I feel clear, light, and alive. That truly spoke to my inner layer and I appreciate so much the movement that you allowed in my body and mind. So happy to have the confirmation that I’m exactly where I should be.
