​

I created MAC with the intent to live through purpose and authenticity, by sharing my gifts of healing and creativity.

 

I am an intuitive empath by nature, and I realized this at a very young age. I have come to embrace my intuition by practicing meditation, studying, traveling to sacred places and doing much inner-work. By learning to channel universal life energy (Reiki), I have gained the ability to combine my natural gifts and knowledge/experiences with science to create a healing experience at House of Crystals and Modern Sanctuary. Working through the daily 9-5 has never satisfied my need to utilize these abilities, so I decided to take matters into my own hands, and (literally) share them with you!

​

I believe in the power of self-transformation and manifestation. Transmutation and alchemy. Love and unlimited possibilities. I understand that we all hold the power within ourselves to heal ourselves, sometimes activated with a little guidance. Life is a gift that we are all experiencing through the collective consciousness, that which needs healing. I am here to assist us in getting there through finding our balance.

​

Thank you for taking the time to visit Modern Alchemy, and learn a bit about me and my passion for healing. I look forward to working with you!

With love and gratitude,
