Healing happens when the body feels safe, the heart feels held, and the spirit feels seen.
Welcome — I’m Vanessa, and I’m so glad you’ve found your way here.
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, or weighed down by life’s constant demands, you’re not alone. So many of us move through challenging seasons without fully understanding why we feel this way. Whether you can name the source of your struggles or simply sense that something isn’t right, you deserve support that meets you with gentleness, clarity, and depth.
My one-to-one healing work is designed to meet you exactly where you are — and guide you gently toward where you long to be.
Over many years of study, practice, teaching, and my own healing journey, I’ve witnessed how stress and trauma can pull us away from our centre — from our essence, creativity, vitality, intuition, and sense of belonging.
Alchemy Healing, my signature programme, was born from this understanding.
In our work together, I weave Somatic Movement & Dance Therapy, Therapeutic Shamanism, Clinical Hypnotherapy, Reiki, Crystal Healing, NLP, and my intuitive gifts. This integrated approach supports your well-being on every level — physical, emotional, psychological, energetic, and spiritual.
Together we create a space where you can:
🌿 Build safety and resilience in your nervous system
🌿 Release old patterns, trauma, and held emotion
🌿 Face challenging experiences with support
🌿 Reconnect with your inner wisdom and authentic Self
🌿 Restore balance, ease, and clarity
🌿 Remember the wholeness that has always been yours
You’re invited to work with me online from anywhere or in-person in my healing room in Bere Alston, Devon.
If you feel the call or have questions, please reach out.
You don’t have to walk this alone — I’m here when you’re ready.
What is Alchemy Healing?


Somatic Dance and Movement Therapy
Somatic Dance and Movement Therapy invites the individual to listen to the intelligence and wisdom of their body-mind, using both a physiological and experiential approach. I offer creative processes that regulate the nervous system, enable the release of trauma and chronic pain and investigate and integrate the needs of your body-mind.


Shamanic Healing
As a shamanic practitioner my work is spirit-led. I utilise a neo-shamanic healing approach in my work that integrates psycho-spiritual techniques such as; altered states of consciousness, divination, ritual, ceremony, shamanic journey, inner child, soul retrieval and psycho-pomp work.


Crystal Healing
Crystal Healing is a vibrational energy-based system of healing. Crystals are used to interact with the electromagnetic field of the energy body creating resonance and reinstating balance and harmony.


Reiki Healing
Reiki is a healing and enlightenment system that uses universal life-force energy to re-establish equilibrium in the energetic and physical body. It may include distance healing, using symbols and laying hands over specific body parts.


Clinical Hypnotherapy
Clinical Hypnotherapy is a psychotherapy approach for treating a psychological or physical problem. I will create an altered state of awareness, perception or consciousness to access the subconscious, unconscious and supraconscious realms where healing can take place.


Neuro Linguistic Programming
Neuro Linguistic Programming is a psychological approach that includes sensory-based interventions and behaviour-modification techniques to achieve greater social interaction and well-being for a person.
