Somatic Alchemy
A nurturing 1:1 mentorship for embodied healing & transformation.
Personalised support for the whole of you 🌀
Are you ready to tend to your mental, emotional, and physical health in a more holistic way?
Are you ready to integrate your body into your healing, or transformation process?
You do not have to walk through this wild and messy life alone; we were never supposed to.
Healing and thriving requires support.
The Somatic Alchemy 1:1 Mentorship blends together trauma-informed therapeutic yoga, somatic healing, coaching, and mindfulness to support your wellbeing; deepening and transforming your relationship with your body and mind.
The medical approach many of us in the west have grown up with, treats the mind and body separately, but we’re beginning to remember and realise; we are whole beings, and everything is connected. Here we work with the whole of you: body, mind and spirit.
These sessions are for you if:
✺ You’re ready to tend to your mental and emotional health and wellbeing in a more holistic way.
✺ You’re ready to bring your body into your healing, or transformation process.
✺ You’re looking for effective and aligned tools and resources for your wellbeing, instead of relying on unsustainable coping mechanisms.
✺ You’re ready to remember your innate wisdom and power to live a more aligned and fulfilling life.
✺ You’re ready to commit to your healing, your wellbeing, and the life that your heart longs for. You’re ready to embody the change that you want to see in the world.
… And you’d like an empowering and tender space to be completely held on this journey.

I usually recommend a minimum of 6 sessions. I offer this amount of sessions, as this is often the optimal amount for sustainable, long lasting changes and transformation.
Of course, we are all on unique journeys and the amount of sessions needed varies from person to person.
For some, 6 is the perfect amount. and others prefer to continue the journey.
If you wish to continue working together at the end of the first 6 sessions, you will be able to book sessions individually, or continue in 6 session blocks.
Your first 6 sessions may take place weekly or fortnightly.
“Attending these 1:1 sessions has been one of the best things I've ever done. These sessions acted as a little sanctuary that held me through difficult times and has given me a plethora of resources to be able to hold myself through future turbulence. Izzy has a very healthy way of approaching things that separates her from most other services. I have made so much progress in such a short amount of time and I would recommend her with all my heart.”

If you’re here on this page, that’s the first courageous step towards receiving the support you are seeking right now. Well done! You can book a free discovery call to get more of a feel for these sessions, my approach, and to ask any questions you have. We can discuss whether these sessions will be the right fit for you and meet your needs. These calls usually take around 15 minutes.
Most importantly, trust in your intuition; the pull from somewhere within that led you to this page. Listen to any impulses, or sensations from your body to guide you in this decision.
Only you can truly know what you need and what your heart desires; as best you can, trust in that. When we listen to our bodies, our intuition, or what our heart desires, this is where the magic happens in our life.

I see you. I hear you. I know the anxiety, worry, and uncertainty that can arise when it comes to investing in yourself. I’ve experiences this many times. And yet, whenever I have followed my heart and trusted in my intuition, I have never regretted investing in myself, my care, or my healing. The commitment and investments I have made for myself have been truly profound and life changing experiences.
I am not trying to convince you to spend money that you do not have, but to offer the best guidance I can and my truth in this area. Trust in what feels right for you.
Please know that you are worthy of investing in yourself, in your healing, and your thriving. There are not many more important things in life.
This work ripples out into all aspects of our lives, to all those around us, and into our feeling of abundance. This journey does not only support you, but it radiates out and can be for the highest benefit of all.
I offer tiered pricing for you to choose an option that feels right and accessible to you, no questions asked. I also offer the option to pay in instalments at your own pace, to support accessibility.

Again, please know that you are not alone in this feeling. I know that this world demands a lot from us, we’re often holding so much and spinning way more plates than we feel like we can handle.
Take a slow breath in and a long breath out. Soften your shoulders back and down, open your heart, and unclench your jaw.
This is your space to put those plates down and be completely held. You are worthy of dedicating 75 minutes to fill up your own cup and tend to your health and wellbeing. When we do this, everything shifts; we create space for regulating, replenishing, and healing our whole being, we gain perspective and remember what is truly important in our lives. Often, we reclaim a sense of abundance, gently letting go of patterns of survival, scarcity, and lack.
On this journey you will be supported to set the boundaries you need and make more supportive choices with the time the time that you have.
If needed, you can find support for time management in these sessions, setting boundaries, and efficiently using your energy.
The practice protocols for you to integrate our work together are also catered to you and your lifestyle. We’ll explore an array of micro-practices that you can weave into your day-to-day life to care for yourself, leaving you feeling truly empowered and able to resource yourself through the challenges of life.

‘Soma’ is the Greek word for body.
You might also sometimes hear it described as ‘the living organism in its wholeness’
‘Somatics’ describes any practice that integrates the mind and body, or all spheres of our being, including the spiritual sphere, our connection to each other, and the earth.
Somatic practices primarily focus on strengthening the body-mind connection, as we reclaim our capacity to feel and work with the natural intelligence of the body. This has an abundance of healing and transformative properties.
In a society and system of duality that has conditioned us to separate mind from body. Ourselves from the earth and each other; somatics reminds us that we are one. It can remind us of our wholeness and the power we hold within.

We experience life through our bodies. Stress, anxiety, burnout, joy, shame, connection, pleasure, freedom (the list goes on) all happen in our bodies. They occur and are experienced in our nervous system, our breath, our fascia, our muscles, our organs, and through sensation. Our life experiences have been imprinted into these areas of our body and the way we hold our selves.
Very often the stories in our minds, follow the states of our bodies.
It is truly a disservice to leave the body out of the healing, or transformation process.
For many, working with the body is an unexplored piece of the puzzle.
In our sessions, we do not neglect the power of the mind and neuroscience; there is so much healing and transformation that can happen here (I am a big nerd for this work). We simply integrate the body back into the experience, using a ‘top-down’ and ‘bottom-up’ approach.
Here you are invited to meet all parts of yourself and discover the universe within.

The mentorship is offered in 6 session blocks, as I have found that clients see the best results when they truly commit to themselves and this journey in this way. This is a gentle and steady journey, and whilst we may have many ‘aha’ moments and breakthroughs, long lasting and sustainable change takes time. The 6 session block offers accountability and an opportunity for you to commit to yourself.
