Reiki

Intuitive, warm, humorous, and grounded are words others have used to describe me. Born and raised near the Santa Monica mountains of Southern California, my path has included a variety of experiences that influence how I show up in the world. I hold a master's degree in counseling psychology and have nearly a decade of experience as a therapist, working with youth, families, and individuals in community-based settings, schools, and foster care. Additionally, I ran a professional birth doula business. Currently, I work as a life coach, helping others "birth" their authentic selves. Before this, I lived in Northern New Mexico, where I helped establish school gardens and implemented environmental education programs. When I'm not working, I can be found hiking, practicing yoga, dancing, engrossed in a creative project, or simply cradling a cup of coffee and taking in the view of the pine trees outside my home in Truckee.Show More

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

Jennifer Vanatta is a devoted guide in the healing arts, blending over a decade of yoga teaching with certifications in sound healing and Reiki energy work. Her path to these practices was not simply academic, it was earned through lived experience. Having faced trauma and profound loss at a young age, Jennifer knows firsthand the weight of anxiety and depression, and the long, often nonlinear road toward healing. It was through yoga, sound, and energy work that she found her footing; tools that helped her return, again and again, to her own inner stillness. That personal journey is the heartbeat of everything she offers. Today, she weaves together movement, meditation, and vibrational healing to help others reconnect to their own inner wisdom and natural state of harmony. She holds space with deep compassion; not as someone who has all the answers, but as someone who has walked through the dark and found the light on the other side. Rooted in Nevada City, CA, Jennifer is inspired by nature, the rhythms of the earth, and the alchemy of nourishing, high-frequency living. Her work invites balance, presence, and deep embodiment for anyone who is ready to come home to themselves.Show More

Swedish Massage

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

Reiki

In April 2022, I hit a wall I couldn’t think my way out of. My husband was deep in building his business, and the emotional and financial volatility of entrepreneurship was hitting our household hard. The pressure to contribute financially became so intense that it shut me down. I wasn’t just overwhelmed, I was paralyzed. Getting out of bed felt like a stretch. Showing up for my kids took everything I had. What made it more confronting was I had over 25 years of leadership experience behind me - nonprofit leadership, operations, strategy, and consulting. I had built organizations, led teams, influenced policy, and solved complex problems at a high level. I had the honor of testifying before the House Natural Resources Committee - US Congress in Washington DC. I knew how to lead and I knew how to execute and none of that could solve what was happening internally. In desperation, I stepped back. I started applying for jobs, roles far below my experience level just to feel some relief and stability. The idea of going back to a traditional path made me feel physically sick, but so did the uncertainty of staying where I was. That tension forced me to confront something I thought I had already worked through: My identity was still tied to achievement. Around that time, I invested over five figures into a three-month coaching program, convinced it would give me the clarity I couldn’t access on my own. It didn’t. The program lacked depth, structure, and real leadership. The guidance was inconsistent, and the work contradicted itself. And I could see it clearly because I understand how transformation actually works. That experience forced me to get honest. I had been outsourcing my authority and looking for someone else to give me the answers, hoping there was a faster way. There isn’t a faster way. I know this and yet I couldn't sit with this level of discomfort. I had to face my own patterns of scarcity thinking, fear-based decision making, impatience, and the belief that once I reached a certain level, I would finally feel better. Reiki had already been part of my life before this. I spent years practicing Reiki and then pursued my Reiki Master Certification believing that was the destination. But this season showed me something different. Reiki isn't the end - it is the doorway. As I moved through my own unraveling, Reiki became something I lived, not just something I practiced on others in my energy healing practice. Reiki supported (and continues to support) me in the quiet moments where there was nothing to fix, only something to understand. That’s when everything started to shift.Show More

Wilderness Therapy

I’ve spent most of my life guiding people through mountains, rivers, and personal transformation. What began as a career in outdoor education and ski coaching evolved into a calling: helping others navigate the inner terrain of growth and healing. After two decades of guiding and teaching around the world, I founded ACE CoLab — Adventure. Connect. Evolve — to bring together the best of movement, mindfulness, and coaching. My path weaves through high peaks and deep introspection — from training ski professionals and leading expeditions, to studying integrative health, mind-body medicine, and wellness coaching. Through these experiences, I’ve learned that transformation doesn’t just happen on the mountain — it happens in how we show up for ourselves every day. Healing is a process of remembering our wholeness, reconnecting with what truly matters, and aligning how we live with who we are becoming.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

Hi, I’m Dr.

Hi, I’m Dr. Lara May, Advanced Practice Clinical Pharmacist & Health Coach, specializing in functional medicine & energy medicine. I learned how to transform my health, digestion, and body – and I’m here to help you do it, too! Let me tell you a story… Ever since I was young, I have always had trouble with my stomach. I spent most of my years relying on acid reducers, and everything I ate caused my body distress. I often felt bloated, struggled with constipation, and I was at a loss for what to do about it. So, I did what most people do after seeing doctor after doctor and not feeling any better, I read every book, tried every program, and well… nothing worked for me. My stomach would ache afterward, my pants fit tight, and going to the bathroom was a less than pleasant experience with all the cramping, constipation, followed by cyclical diarrhea, etc. Now, I know that the food I was eating wasn’t nourishing my body or benefiting my gut. They were making the problems worse! Until I truly dug in and gained the knowledge, I had no idea how my gut was being impacted by what I was eating every day. Hitting Rock Bottom... My gut problems persisted. They didn’t improve because I kept eating all of the foods that were making the problems worse. I wasn’t paying close attention to how certain foods were making my stomach feel. I was frustrated and thought my body wasn’t working quite right. This was all because I was just feeding my gut problems. Even worse, I felt exhausted, sick, and moody all the time. I never had any energy, my body hurt, and my digestion was a mess. It was when I realized that my poor gut health and all the symptoms I faced every day were keeping me from being the person I dreamed of being! The Journey to Healing I began to look more closely at my life and at my diet, suddenly realizing that the food I was eating was just contributing to the problem. All it took was a bit of research for me to see what I needed to see. The food I was eating was having a negative impact on my gut. Then my poor gut health was having a negative impact on the rest of my health and my life. So, of course, my first step was to change the food I was eating every day. It was tricky to get used to because I had never considered what I was eating. I bought and ate the food that I wanted to. My research led me to realize that my gut health is connected to the rest of my health. So, after hours of research and plenty of time figuring out what worked best for my body, I healed all those gut issues. And as a result of that, I healed a ton of other issues. What a difference this made! In just a few weeks, I saw a change. I was less grumpy, had fewer stomach pains, and felt better as a whole. Since then, I’ve only gotten better. A New Found Purpose & Journey to Integrating Functional & Energy Medicine… My experience changed my life in wonderful ways, and now, I’m on a path to help others! I want to help you reclaim your life by getting your gut in great shape! As a functional medicine specialist, I help people uncover the source of their diseases and imbalances to get to the root of where things start. I focus on empowerment, transformation, & healing through real evidence-based methods combined with energy healing modalities. I give my clients the tools they need to help reduce or in some cases, potentially, even stop their prescription medications (with communication to their doctor, of course). But the biggest benefit my clients speak about is that they fall in love again - with their lives, with what they are doing, and the person or people that mean the most to them. My unique approach and integration of techniques allow my clients to shift energetic patterns, release old beliefs, clear blockages, and create lives of fulfillment, wellness, and joy. My journey to energetic & functional medicine began in 2014 as a patient myself struggling with uncontrolled chronic migraines, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic heartburn, and chronic sinus infections. Frustrated with not getting better and the lack of answers from western medicine, I sought out a new solution. Integrative Nutrition & Functional Medicine combined with energy healing modalities empowering myself to heal myself from all of the above ailments. And today I am dedicated to helping you do the same.Show More

Forest Bathing

I have been doing spiritual activations and meditations for over five years. My journey of transformation began in 2019. I started to receive the codes of christ consciousness and have been sharing these codes with others since. I have studied many healing modalities such as Venusian healing arts, reiki, electromagnetic frequency healing and theta healing. I hold ceremonial space for others with the sisterhood of the rose. I began spiritual activations in 2022 with a small client base. I began connecting to my higher self and receiving the guidance to start using my gifts to facilitate meditations and healings through plasma light. I have attuned my body and minds eye to connect with the epoch on the earth on Atlantis. A time when the elemental frequencies were at there potency with healing potential. As I studied these techniques with my higher self I noticed a dramatic difference in my body and organs. I work with others in my combined training with healing modalities and meditation to facilitate plasma frequency healings. This increases cellular memory in the body and restores youth codes. I help others to activate there gifts with there higher self. These are called higher-self activations.Show More

Acupressure

As a youth, I suffered from chronic stomach pain and other maladies. At age 16, I went to a traditional western allopathic doctor. He spoke with me for twenty minutes. I was asked questions such as “What type of recreational drugs have you tried?” and “Where is your pain?” I was not asked ‘Do you exercise?’ ‘How much fruits and vegetables do you eat?’ ‘Do you sleep well?’ ‘What do you do to create happiness in your life?’ The doctor then prescribed me four pharmaceuticals. They were Celebrex for the back pain, Zantac for the stomach pain, Valium, and Zoloft for I can only imagine why. I felt that the pharmaceuticals were not going to heal me but just mask the symptoms. I was offended to be only offered drugs without any help or advice towards health and wellness. I refused them and started to look into alternative health modalities. Six years later, I was referred to an amazing acupuncturist and gifted healer. It was the first time someone understood how sick I was since their diagnostic methods could see past my outer “healthy” appearance. The acupuncturist diagnosed and treated the imbalances that were ruining a lot of my days. The treatments and information changed my life and inspired me to discover how it all works. Now by sharing my knowledge and experience with others, I can help ignite the light inside of them, to find the desire to heal. I can do this by bringing my patients the tools and power needed to create wellness and health in their own lives. This is done by integrating the Eastern and Western medical systems, frequency medicine and patient education, thus creating high-quality true health care.Show More
