The framework

Building resilient, alive relationships through embodied practice over time.

Introduction to the Model

You are invited into a framework where your nervous system, your relational patterns, and your story all belong to one field of transformation. This is the Relational Alchemy Framework. It brings together attachment science, interpersonal neurobiology, somatic wisdom, relational awareness, and the power of story and archetype.

Core premise

• Our romantic and relational lives often carry echoes of early attachment experience.

• What was unfinished in childhood tends to reappear in adult relationships as an opportunity for growth and healing.

• Conflict and repair are essential developmental processes that support emotional maturity and nervous system health.

• Your nervous system is not random or flawed. It is meaningful, adaptive and capable of shifting from reactivity into receptive presence.

Foundations of the model

This work is grounded in multiple ways of knowing that shape how we experience safety, connection, and choice in relationship.

Nervous system awareness and regulation

Building the capacity to notice activation, understand what’s happening in the body, and return to connection - especially under stress.

Attachment and relational neuroscience

Understanding how early experience and relational history shape how we seek closeness, protect ourselves, and repair connection over time.

Somatic presence and embodied truth

Developing the capacity to slow down, stay with the body and listen to what experience has taught us - so reactive patterns can soften and more choice becomes possible.

Differentiation and interdependence

Cultivating the ability to stay connected without self-abandonment and to stay anchored in oneself without pulling away - allowing difference and responsiveness to coexist in real time.

Narrative and archetypal intelligence

Recognizing the stories and inherited patterns that shape how we make meaning, relate, and choose - and learning how to update them consciously as we grow.

The Path of Transformation

You move through this work in a natural sequence that builds capacity over time. You learn to recognize your nervous system state, build felt safety in your body, and understand the relational patterns and stories shaping your life.

From there, deeper meaning emerges. Archetypal themes clarify what is changing and old patterns can be met with awareness, choice and integrity - allowing new ways of relating to take root.

This work offers a lived path for healing relational wounds. It brings together mind, body, heart, and story into an integrated practice that strengthens your sense of sovereignty while opening you to deeper connection.

Your sensitivity is not something to overcome here, but something honored and cultivated as a source of strength. As capacity grows, a deeper ability for presence, clarity, intimacy, and desire begins to emerge.

Who it's for

• Women who have learned to protect themselves through independence and are ready to be met without self-abandonment

• Men ready to lead with integrity, grounded presence and relational responsibility

• Couples who want to turn rupture into repair and patterns into pathways for growth

• Individuals who want their body, story, and relationships to reflect who they are becoming

• Anyone ready to step out of reactive living and into more conscious, interdependent connection - supported in community rather than isolation

A Different Kind of Work

While I am a licensed psychologist, this work is not psychotherapy.

Guided Alchemy is a relational, embodiment-centered coaching model grounded in psychological science and oriented toward growth, sovereignty, and conscious partnership.

This work is for individuals and couples who are seeking deep relational change through lived practice - not clinical treatment or diagnosis.
