About Our Philosophy & Approach

 What is "Sacred Alchemy Holistic?”

 "Sacred Alchemy Holistic" represents our unique philosophy. We view personal transformation as a sacred, alchemical process. Just as an alchemist is said to transform base metals into gold, we guide you to transform your challenges into wisdom and your potential into reality. It's about finding the inner light and authentic self that already resides within you.

 How does a near-death experience inform your work?

 My journey began at the age of 20 with a profound near-death experience (NDE). It was a moment that fundamentally changed me, allowing me to walk with one foot in the physical world and one foot in the spiritual. This experience gifted me with a deep, personal understanding of what lies beyond the veil. I have direct knowledge and a clear perspective on the moment of transition and the peaceful, loving nature of what happens beyond. This unique perspective is not theoretical; it is a lived truth that forms the bedrock of my practice. It allows me to serve as a confident, trusted guide—a bridge to the spiritual world—ensuring every session is a protected and honoured space where we can safely explore the profound connection between our physical reality and the unseen world. My confidence comes from this knowing, and it is my purpose to share this insight to help you navigate life and death with peace, dignity, and a sense of profound truth.

 Is this practice a religion?

 No, Sacred Alchemy Holistic is not a religion. Our work is a spiritual and holistic practice that is open to people of all beliefs, or no beliefs. We do not promote a specific dogma but instead support you in deepening your own unique connection to your mind, body, and spirit.

About Our Services

What is the difference between your services?

  Each service is a path for your personal growth.

Reiki is a hands-on energy healing practice for clearing blockages, promoting deep relaxation, and restoring alignment and balance.

Holistic Coaching is an integrated approach that combines spiritual and life coaching to help you find clarity, purpose, and direction.

Death Coaching/End-of-Life Guidance is a specialised practice to help you become more comfortable with mortality and prepare for the end-of-life journey.

Death Doula Services provide compassionate, non-medical support and presence during the end-of-life transition itself.

 What is the difference between Life Coaching and Death Coaching?

 Life Coaching focuses on helping you achieve goals, overcome challenges, and create a life that is aligned with your values and aspirations.

Death Coaching is a specialised form of coaching that focuses on the end-of-life journey, helping you or a loved one navigate the emotional, spiritual, and practical aspects of mortality with peace and dignity.

 What is the difference between a Death Doula and Hospice Care?

 Hospice care is an invaluable medical service that focuses on providing a team of doctors, nurses, and social workers to manage symptoms and pain in the final months of life.

A Death Doula provides non-medical, holistic, and continuous support. We work alongside hospice teams, offering more personalised attention, advocacy, and emotional and spiritual guidance to both the dying person and their loved ones. We are a compassionate presence who can be with you from the time of diagnosis through to bereavement.

 Is remote healing as effective as in-person sessions?

 Yes. Energy is not bound by physical distance. Remote healing works by connecting to your energy field from a distance, allowing you to experience the same profound relaxation, balance, and alignment as an in-person session, all from the comfort of your own space. This is a powerful and convenient option for those who are not local or prefer to be in their own home.

 What can I expect to feel during a Reiki session?

 During a Reiki session, clients often report a deep sense of relaxation and peace. You may feel gentle warmth, tingling sensations, or a subtle vibration as the energy flows. Some clients feel so relaxed they drift off to sleep. Every experience is unique, and it's also perfectly normal to not feel any distinct sensations; the energy is still working to clear blockages and restore balance and alignment. The benefits are often felt long after the session, such as improved sleep, reduced stress, and a greater sense of clarity.

 How many sessions will I need?

 The number of sessions varies greatly depending on your individual needs and goals. We believe in a collaborative approach, and we will discuss a personalised plan during your initial consultation and as we progress through your journey together.

 What does "non-medical support" mean in practice for a Death Doula?

 As a Death Doula, my role is to provide holistic, non-medical support and compassionate presence. This means I do not administer medication, perform medical procedures, or offer medical advice. My practice is complementary to the care provided by doctors, nurses, and hospice teams. I focus on the emotional, spiritual, and practical aspects of the end-of-life journey, such as helping with legacy projects, facilitating difficult conversations, providing comfort through guided meditation or gentle touch, and simply being a supportive, calm presence for both the dying person and their loved ones.

 Can you support a family after a loved one has died?

 Yes, our support extends beyond the moment of death. The end-of-life journey also includes the grieving process for family and friends. We offer compassionate bereavement support to help families navigate the initial stages of loss. This can include assistance with connecting to other grief resources, and simply providing a compassionate presence to listen and hold space for the emotions that arise.

Getting Started

 How do I know if Sacred Alchemy Holistic is the right fit for me?

 Finding the right support is a deeply personal choice. We encourage you to schedule a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation. This is an opportunity for us to connect, discuss your needs and goals, and ensure you feel comfortable and confident in your decision to work together.

 Is everything we discuss confidential?

 Yes, absolute confidentiality is a cornerstone of our practice. The trust you place in us is sacred. All conversations, sessions, and client information are held in the strictest confidence. We will not share any details of our work together with anyone, for any reason, without your explicit permission, unless required by law to report a risk of harm to yourself or others. Our sessions are a protected, safe space for your healing and transformation.

 How do I prepare for my first session?

 For your first session, we recommend finding a quiet, comfortable space where you can relax without interruption. If the session is in person, simply arrive with an open mind and vulnerable heart. If it is a remote session, ensure you have a good connection and are in a peaceful environment. There is no other preparation needed; just come as you are.

 What if my question isn't answered here?

 We are here to help. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to reach out via phone or email via this Contact Form. We look forward to connecting with you.
