Trauma & Somatic Therapies

What is Alchemy?

What is Alchemy? Traditionally, alchemy was the medieval practice of transforming base metals into gold — a mysterious blend of science, art, and mysticism. Over time, the word has come to mean the process of profound transformation: turning something ordinary into something extraordinary and revealing hidden potential within. At The Alchemy Space, alchemy is both our name and our mission. We believe in the art of transformation — in ourselves, in our community, and in the world around us. Through movement, creativity, connection, and holistic well-being, we nurture the process of evolving together, elevating what already exists, and creating something entirely new.Show More

Myofascial Release

I began dancing in a studio when I was 3 years old, and embodiment has been my saving grace through childhood neglect and trauma, 2 divorces, loss of children, domestic violence, sexual assault and more. Many times in my life I didn't quite know how I could go on living, or if I wanted to. Every time something expansive and full of light would anchor me into the path of choosing life and choosing myself no matter how difficult the uphill climb seemed. After persevering so many challenges in my life, I am devoted to supporting others in their path back to self-love, peace, joy, and wholeness. My love for dance translated into a love for studying the human body, psyche, and spirit/soul and I have been on an epic journey of deep study and education to better inform my healing path and those I assist. I am a life-long learner and will continue to dive into spaces and places where I can continue to learn and expand. I am a 500 ERYT Yoga Instructor and Facilitator, have a Pre/Post Natal Fitness Emphasis, am certified in myofascial rolling and release, love supporting cycling beings and girls and women, and the masculine who wants to learn to support women and children. I am a beautiful blend of practical and esoteric, weaving my intuitive magic and vast array of skills and lenses to help the individual drawn to work with me. Whether you need help in the physical plane with your body and sexuality/sensuality, your mind/thoughts and how to interact with others and the world, or are feeling stuck in spiritual/soulful realms, I've got you.Show More

Craniosacral Therapy

For the past 14 years, I have been dedicated to researching, writing, and teaching in the field of health, healing, and human optimization. As the author of multiple health and wellness books, my work focuses on bridging natural healing principles with modern understanding, offering people practical, empowering pathways back to vitality. Since 2017, I have worked directly with clients at SoulSpire: The Healing Playground, a holistic wellness center devoted to restoration, purification, and regeneration. My approach is integrative and multifaceted, incorporating modalities such as ozone therapy, kambo, colon hydrotherapy, hyperbaric oxygen, frequency healing technologies, contrast therapy, and sound-based practices. These tools are used in harmony to support detoxification, restore balance within the gut and microbiome, and help the body return to a natural state of resilience. My path into this work was deeply personal. Following the loss of my brother to suicide, I began searching for answers beyond conventional approaches, seeking natural ways to support mental and emotional well-being. This journey led me to the profound impact of internal cleansing, plant-based nutrition, and holistic lifestyle practices. Later, after experiencing the loss of my father due to a medical error, my commitment deepened. These experiences shaped a clear purpose: to help others find safe, empowering, and effective paths to healing so that fewer families have to endure preventable suffering. What inspires me most as a healer is witnessing transformation through seeing individuals reconnect with their vitality, clarity, and sense of self. I am driven by the belief that the body is intelligent, capable, and designed to heal when given the right environment and support. My work is devoted to helping people reclaim that connection and step back into a state of true health and wholeness.Show More

Healing Touch

My path as a healer began when I was in college at UC Berkeley, studying philosophy and living at a 60-person vegan co-op. At 19, I stepped into a manager role at my co-op that involved supporting my housemates with interpersonal conflict. There, I first held space for people to express their emotions and needs openly—and witnessed how honesty and vulnerability could transform tension into connection. I felt deeply aligned in that role and knew this was work I was called to, so I went on to complete a Conflict Mediation training to deepen my skills and experience. Years later, seeking support for my own anxiety, perfectionism, and over-functioning, I struggled to find a therapist through my insurance who felt like the right fit. Wanting a body-based approach for deeper transformation, I began working with a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. I immediately resonated with my coach, and felt relief to finally be working with someone who I didn't have to explain myself to, and who brought in expertise beyond my own experience. Over time, I built a deeper sense of embodied safety, expanded my emotional range, and started to shift my chronic pattern of constantly being busy but never feeling like I was doing enough. Now, I am so much more in tune with my body's wisdom and feel more spaciousness, possibility, and empowerment in my life. Grateful for the profound impact this work had on me, I pursued training in Somatic Experiencing myself. Studying the modality has deepened my healing even further, and I’m honored to now be able to offer others this same support.Show More

CHEK Practitioner | Integrative Movement Specialist | Holistic Lifestyle Coach I grew up as an athletic kid who was always injured, bouncing between physical therapists, feeling frustrated that no one could explain the root cause. Everything changed when I completed my YogaWorks 200hr training in 2017, which taught me how breath, proper muscle activation, and nervous system regulation shape the way we move and work through the growing pains of life in a healthier way. That foundation deepened during my four years ski instructing in Keystone, CO, where I analyzed hundreds of bodies and learned how to teach movement with clarity, safety, and intuition. In 2020, I became a NASM Personal Trainer, but I knew I needed something more comprehensive. That’s when I found Paul Chek and the CHEK Institute. For the past three years I’ve been immersed in corrective exercise, functional movement, holistic lifestyle coaching, somatic work, and emotional-root-cause healing. I’m currently awaiting my HLC Level 3 certification and completing Integrative Movement Science Level 3 February 2026. My mission is simple: Help you feel strong, balanced, and pain-free so you can live the life you love. From chasing the kids to playing adult soccer or pickleball, I believe your injuries are feedback, not failures: invitations to listen, unlearn, and rebuild with intention. Whether your dream is to eliminate pain, prepare for pregnancy, return to play, or reconnect to your body, I blend science, intuition, and integrative health medicine principles to guide you back to natural movement and true vitality.Show More

Assisted Stretching

Jenay Aiksnoras, E-RYT500, M.S. Counseling has been teaching Yoga since 2005. Jenay's story began on a farm in Connecticut. She grew up actively engaging outdoors. When she moved to Boston for college, her love of the outdoors drew her to her school's outing club. A class audit during her undergraduate studies introduced her to the practice of yoga, untimately helping her discover the key to reducing physical pain and feeling well while playing outside. At that time there were few places to practice. She explored various studios and lineages including svarupa, vinyasa and Iyengar. Through consistent practice, Yoga asana helped to heal back pain resulting from bulging discs and scoliosis. It wasn't until she began practicing in New York with Amy Pearce-Hayden that she truly began to understand the depth of yoga. Jenay believes that asana, like every limb of the eight (Asta Anga) is just one aspect of the practice. To access Yoga you must address the entire system. During every practice she guides you'll be directed to engage in svadhyaya, consider sankalpa and connect with your Self.Show More

Shiatsu

Zen Shiatsu found me in an East West Center in San Diego in 1985. My next job took me to NYC, where I found my way to the Shiatsu Education Center of America. I became affiliated with that institution, the Ohashi Institute, and started a branch school in Chicago. I became a senior instructor in the Ohashiatsu system, and at the same time, heard a voice in a SweatLodge. It simply told me that I was born to practice Shiatsu. It's been a long four decades in the clinic and classroom sharing the beauty and power of healing touch following the Meridian Channel system. I could tell a thousand stories. I hold them all in my heart.Show More

Massage Therapy

Born and raised in Truckee, CA into a multicultural household, I have always been fond of travel and culture. After experiencing a traumatic car accident, I was left with injuries, chronic pain and PTSD. I was forced to prioritize my body’s needs, finding Hatha and Aerial Yoga training. This led me to Reiki training in Brazil and the U.S., and attaining Master level profoundly impacted my own physical and emotional healing process. Influenced by my physical therapist, I found Fascia Therapy - the Danis Bois Method (France), my passion, which led to my career in manual bodywork/ massage therapy. I fell in love with the lymphatic system and completed training at Massage Therapy Institute in Davis, CA and through the Academy of Lymphatic Studies (ACOLS), as well as the AMESARO (Mexico) - Associación Mexicana de Sanación con Rosas in Rose Therapy/ Healing. Sometimes our greatest challenges can become our most important teachers and opportunities for growth and learning.Show More

Somatic Therapy

I’ve always been deeply curious about the human mind, why we are the way we are, how our experiences shape us, and what it takes to create real, lasting change. My own journey through personal struggles in childhood and young adulthood led me to seek therapy, an experience that was nothing short of transformational. It showed me firsthand the power of healing, growth, and self-awareness. This passion led me to work in eating disorder treatment centers and addiction recovery programs, where I witnessed the profound strength of individuals reclaiming their lives. What I love most about this work is the transformation, watching pain turn into wisdom, struggle into resilience, and self-doubt into self-trust. Now, as a therapist, I’m here to guide others through their own journeys of healing with a somatic, trauma informed approach. I believe that growth and healing happens not just in understanding ourselves, but in taking the small, intentional steps that lead to lasting change. Whether you’re navigating life transitions, healing from past wounds, or seeking a deeper connection with yourself, I’m here to walk alongside you in the process.Show More
