ALCHEMY HOLISTIC
LIFE COACHING, est. 2009

About My Approach
My approach is rooted in the four stages of alchemy—Nigredo (integrating shadows), Albedo (integrating light), Citrinitas (integrating wisdom), and Rubedo (living the change). This process, known as the magnum opus or "great work," is about transforming suffering into wisdom and finding the courage to live as your true self—the greatest privilege there is.
The circle, square, triangle, and circle symbol I use as a logo symbolises this journey: the inner circle represents the individual self, the triangle balancing opposing forces within, the square grounding transformation into reality, and the outer circle signifies reconnection with the greater whole. Together, they map the path from individuality to unity, dissolving the illusion of separateness and aligning you with your highest self in a tangible, actionable way.


My Story
My journey as a servant of Self-Development began with a trip to rehab for misdiagnosed addiction at just 17. Shortly after, I attempted suicide. I know it sounds cliché, but these were some of the best things that ever happened to me. If I had not been through that suffering, I would not be the person I am today—the person who knows, deep in every fiber of his being, that he is enough. A person who can support you to realise you are enough too.
After 15 years in therapeutic practice, my wellness philosophy is that all stress, tension, and resulting dis-ease arise from a largely subconscious sense of not being enough and the belief that we can't have what we want, creating ongoing internal conflict. Whereas wellbeing and the courage to live our purpose comes from a deep and pervasive sense that we are worthy—worthy of love, wealth, and health, whatever that means to us. This creates an ongoing sense of inner peace and harmony with life.
But what is harmony with life? Depicted by the yin and yang symbol, it is the acceptance that there is always good in the bad and bad in the good. I call this fundamental reality shift transitioning from a combative relationship with life to a collaborative one. The significance of shifting your mindset from being a victim of your circumstances to harnessing them as a catalyst for positive change cannot be overstated. Invariably it is the key to a breakthrough. I help you open that door and step into a more harmonious way of living. Contact me now to discuss your needs.
