“When the nervous system feels safe, everything changes.” — Colleen (she/her)
I founded AlchemizMe to create spaces where nervous systems can be understood and expand.
My work is grounded in lived experience as much as it is in training. I came to nervous system regulation because my own body demanded it. That is why I describe my practice as trauma-experienced not just trauma-informed. There is a difference between understanding how a compass works and using it to guide you.
I teach nervous system regulation through embodied, consent-driven practice, supporting people navigating stress, transition, and intensity to build sustainable capacity. Sessions are collaborative, attuned, and customized to support your system. This work takes time and consistency so I have structured my pay scale to incorporate this importance.
As an intuitive empath and highly sensitive person, these gifts help guide sessions. The energy work I practice and channel is used with consent in nervous system capacity building. It is also offered as a focused session. Channeling the spiral energies gently and powerfully can address holistic healing.
AlchemizMe is a queer-owned, LGBTQIA+-affirming practice, and I'm certified in massage for LGBTQIA+ clients. I work with queer, trans, and nonbinary people of all cultural backgrounds in a nonjudgmental space. You met here as a whole person, with no part of you needing to be explained or defended.
When the nervous system feels safe, everything changes.
What you can expect:
• Trauma-experienced, consent-centered care
• Strict confidentiality
• No tipping — pricing reflects the full value of the work
