JOIN HERETHIS IS FOR YOU...
You’ve held space for everyone else.
Now, it’s time to come home to you.
There comes a point when the pretending stops.
When the spirals of overthinking… the quiet tears behind closed doors…
the numbness, the guilt, the resentment — they all start to rise.
Not to break you…
but to bring you back to your body.
To your truth.
To your breath.
Alchemy of the Heart is a 6-week, in-person healing experience for the woman who’s ready to stop just surviving and start gently, slowly, wholeheartedly living again.
Are you ready to drop out of your mind and into your heart?

What's Included In the 6-Week Journey...
SAFETY, GROUNDING & STILLNESS
Week 1: Earth – Coming Home to the Body
Laying the foundation for nervous system repair and inner stillness
We begin where all healing begins, in the soma (body).
In a world that pulls us into overdrive, this is the moment we pause.
This session is all about creating felt safety, connecting to your roots, and reawakening the wisdom of your breath as your anchor.
What’s inside:
-
Nervous system mapping: understanding your survival responses
-
Grounding breathwork and somatic check-in tools
-
Guided body scan and touch-based regulation
-
Cacao and story sharing in circle
-
Ritual: setting intentions and writing your new soul commitments
RELEASING SUPPRESSION, RAGE & EMOTIONAL ARMOUR
Week 2: Fire – Burning Through the Survival Self
Reigniting the inner fire & unfreezing old stories
The fire doesn’t destroy you, it purifies what no longer belongs.
This week we turn toward the heat of what you’ve been holding in: the overwhelm, the irritability, the exhaustion.
You’ll learn how to safely move suppressed emotion through the body and honour your rage as sacred.
What’s inside:
-
Somatic expression & shaking practices
-
Guided breathwork for safe and healthy release
-
Introduction to the “shadow self” & emotional alchemy
-
Mirror work activation for self-validation
-
Ritual: letting go of perfectionism & self-abandonment
GRIEF, SELF-COMPASSION & INNER NOURISHMENT
Week 3: Water – Softening Into Emotion
Meeting the mother wound, the sadness, and the silent grief
You are allowed to feel the fullness of your emotions without fixing them.
This week we invite softness. Through gentle breath and emotional reconnection, you’ll learn how to be with your tenderness without drowning in it.
What’s inside:
-
Nervous system science of grief and numbness
-
Guided breathwork for emotional flow
-
Inner child connection & somatic resourcing
-
Cacao & sacred story-sharing
-
Ritual: writing to the part of you that felt too much
BREATH, INTUITION & PRESENCE
Week 4: Air – Returning to the Heart Space
Opening the heart and learning to trust again
As you clear the noise, your truth begins to speak again.
This week is about learning to hear it. We’ll work with the breath as a bridge between mind and body and explore tools to rebuild self-trust, intuitive decision-making, and heart-led living.
What’s inside:
-
Pranayama breathwork for heart awakening
-
Somatic ego & intuition dialogue
-
Tools for interrupting mental spirals & overthinking
-
Mirror work for rebuilding self-trust
-
Ritual: “I trust myself to…” embodiment mantra
ENERGETIC REALIGMENT & SUBCONSCIOUS REWIRING
Week 5: Spirit – The Sacred Remembering
Reclaiming your worth, clearing blocks, remembering who you are
This is your becoming.
This week is devoted to alchemising old beliefs, calling your energy back, and planting new subconscious seeds of worth, possibility, and clarity.
What’s inside:
-
Energetic boundaries & auric clearing
-
Breathwork to access altered states for deep reprogramming
-
Subconscious beliefs mapping (mother/father wounds, identity conditioning)
-
Guided mirror activation: “I am the woman after…”
-
Ritual: cord-cutting & reclaiming your timeline
WHOLENESS, EXPRESSION & SELF-HOLDING
Week 6: Heart – Integration, Celebration & Ceremony
Coming full circle and preparing for your full-day retreat
This isn’t the end, it’s a beginning.
A closing where you’re no longer carrying it all alone. We reflect, we celebrate and we prepare the body for your full-day retreat with embodied ritual, connection, and honouring of how far you’ve come.
What’s inside:
-
Integration tools for sustainable healing
-
Breathwork for self-expression & joy
-
Story medicine &Â authentic witnessing

Gratitude sharing and personal “soul medicine card”

NICE TO MEET YOU
I'm Elise!
A trauma-informed breathwork facilitator, somatic coach, medicine woman and mother walking this path alongside you.
I guide women (and their children) through the wild terrain of healing, remembering and coming home to themselves, not through force or perfection, but through the power of presence.
My work is rooted in the belief that healing isn’t linear and neither is motherhood, but the way we be with ourselves and with our children is where the deepest shifts begin.
I’ve spent years walking myself through the fire.
Separation. Survival mode. Burnout. Emotional rupture.
Every time, I came back to the breath. To my body. I arrived in my truth that I am not broken, simply becoming.
I’ve poured my heart into this space so you don’t have to do it alone.
My upcoming memoir and methodology, 'The Woman After.', is a body of work that has been lived, not just written.
It’s a testament to the truth that there is another way, one led by softness, sovereignty, and self-return.
I’m deeply passionate about helping other women see that too.
I’m not here to fix you. I’m here to walk beside you, to hold the mirror
and to help you remember the woman beneath the noise,
the one who knows how to rise again.
Let’s breathe her back to life.
