    Alchemy for the Soul

    Next Cohort THIS OCTOBER 2026

    A Path of Initiation into Soul Ascension Science

    Alchemy for the Soul is an experiential 12 month journey through the Qabalistic Tree of Life, to exponentially expand your creator powers and vitality. It is a deep dive into the ancient science of ascension: a process of expanding consciousness while becoming more grounded, coherent, creative, and fully alive here on Earth.

    Rooted in the Western Mystery traditions of Qabalah and Hermeticism and woven with somatic and transpersonal practices, this program invites you to explore ten states of consciousness as a pathway toward greater knowing and understanding of who you truly are. Within the course's spiritual framework, you devise eight intentions you wish to manifest in your life. This journey is one of the most powerful ways to exponentially boost your life and step outside the matrix to become a creator god or goddess.

  • Yoga + Sound | 75-Minute Sanctuary Experience

    Alternating Every Other Wednesday 5:30-6:45pm & Saturday 9:00-10:15am

    Come experience yoga the way you simply can’t in town. Move and breathe surrounded by open land, birdsong, wind, and the changing rhythms of nature. Then let the practice dissolve into a long Savasana, immersed in the resonance of sound bowls.

    And when class ends, there’s no need to rush back into the world. Stay awhile. Sip tea, rest on the porch, wander the land, journal beneath a tree, or simply be still.

    Come for the yoga. Stay for the exhale.

    $45 Per Session or $200 for 5-Session Package

  • Course: Inner Child Integration Process

    AVAILABLE NOW!

    Inner Child Integration – 8-Hour Self-Guided Course

    This on-demand course offers the foundational emotional education many of us were never taught — the kind that should have been included in every basic health class growing up.

    Through self-reflective prompts, simple body practices, and grounding mantras, you’ll learn how early experiences shaped your nervous system and how to gently shift out of old survival patterns.

    Rooted in trauma-informed neuroscience and compassionate inner dialogue, this process helps you feel safer, steadier, and more at home in yourself.

    This is the education we all deserved. Now it’s available to you — at your own pace.

  • Course: Advanced Embodiment Journey

    LIVE COHORT STARTING IN NOVEMBER

    The Journey from Spirit to Body.

    Year-Long Practitioner Certification

    This is more than a training — it is a year-long return to the origins of life.

    Together, we explore preconception, womb development, birth imprint, and early attachment as living imprints carried in the nervous system. Blending pre- and perinatal science, somatic practice, and depth psychology, this cohort-based journey invites practitioners to understand how our earliest experiences shape how we love, lead, parent, and practice.

    Designed for therapists, bodyworkers, birth professionals, craniosacral practitioners, somatic educators, and trauma-informed facilitators, this training is for those who feel called to work at the roots.

    Graduates leave able to:
    • Track nervous system states with clarity
    • Facilitate regulation and co-regulation
    • Understand pre- and perinatal trauma integration
    • Work skillfully with developmental timelines
    • Teach foundational embodiment practices
    • Lead from coherence rather than reactivity

    This is advanced work. It asks you to meet your own origin story — and emerge steadier for others.

  • Mentorship in Birth Psychology

    Learn the psycho-somatic-spiritual birth imprints from our journey from womb to world.

    Advance your practice through individualized mentorship in pre- and perinatal psychology and embodied trauma integration.

    This mentorship includes case study review, session consultation, and the opportunity to review recorded client sessions (with consent) to refine your clinical presence, nervous system tracking, and developmental understanding in real time.

    Together, we explore early life imprints, psychosomatic patterns, and relational dynamics as they emerge in your work. You’ll receive direct feedback, nuanced guidance, and support navigating complex cases with greater clarity and steadiness.

    This is not simply supervision.
    It is refinement of the practitioner.

    Through ongoing dialogue, embodied inquiry, and practical application, you will strengthen your capacity to hold developmental trauma, facilitate regulation, and lead from coherence rather than reactivity.

    For professionals ready to deepen their skill, confidence, and embodied authority.

🌸 Our Pricing Philosophy: Rooted in Reciprocity & the Divine Feminine

We believe that healing, wisdom, and transformation are the birthright of all — not privileges reserved for a few. In alignment with the Divine Feminine and the rising conscious economy, our pricing model honors both the true value of our offerings and the diverse circumstances of our community.

We publish the full price of each class or program to reflect the value, energy, and devotion invested in its creation. This anchors a clear sense of worth.

Yet in the spirit of trust, generosity, and interdependence, we also offer:

🌿 Sliding scale options for those in need

🌱 A “pay what you can or feel it’s worth” model, inviting you to tune into your intuition and capacity

🌺 The opportunity to sponsor another soul’s healing journey, if you feel called to give more

This is an economy of the heart — rooted in resonance, not rigidity.
May we all give and receive in right relationship.
May no one be turned away for lack of funds.
May we rise together in shared abundance.
