ABOUT ROOT ALCHEMY INSTITUTE
The Root Alchemy Institute exists to create alternative systems of healing by offering holistic integrative approaches and methodologies to healing mental, emotional, spiritual, physical and energetic health; trauma of varying roots; spiritual crisis and awakening journeys; and what the medical field calls “psychosis” - transforming the existing conventional models into a more holistic, integrative, decolonized, depathologized, spiritual and alchemical path to healing and transformation. RAI seeks to make indigenous and ancient practices the new normal in the field of mental health and provide trainings, services, tools, resources, information, advocacy and spaces towards this intention.
Our ultimate goal is to create a significant impact on the way people approach healing and mental health. We strive to achieve this by offering alternative holistic approaches outside of traditional medicine, shifting people’s views on mental health, and providing access to resources and tips. We also train people in our methodologies to help others. Our focus is to empower individuals to take control of their healing journey through these unconventional holistic approaches, transforming systems into a new way of healling

MISSION
Healers or practitioners
This audience is more focused on professional development, they are practitioners who are looking for an innovative and holistic approach to healing that recognizes the interconnectivity of all layers of a person’s being. This audience is made up of healers, coaches, therapists, holistic healing practitioners, energy medicine practitioners, and other wellness professionals who are seeking to expand their knowledge and skills and offer a more comprehensive approach to their clients.
Mindful Transformers
Our audience is made up of individuals of all ages who share a common desire to unlock their full potential and live a life aligned with their true purpose. They may be seeking support and guidance in navigating major life transitions, healing from past traumas, or simply exploring new ways to deepen their spiritual and personal growth
The Birth of the Healer
This audience includes individuals who have undergone significant personal and spiritual growth through their own healing journey and feel called to share their insights and support others on their healing journeys as healing practitioners.
We are growing a movement of alternative practitioners, responses and methodologies for mental, emotional and spiritual health healing. Our work has shown us there are many people who don’t resonate with the conventional approaches to health, and at times can make things worse- and are seeking something deeper - that speaks to not only their minds, but also their souls, bodies, hearts and energetic fields.
We imagined a world where healing is possible - alchemy is real- and we can transmute any and everything. This world is here. We are committed to creating something new - for the New Earth being ushered in. This is our legacy. Thank you for being with us on this journey. Sincerely, The Root Alchemists
We recognize that conventional medical methods of addressing healing may not be effective for everyone. This is because health is held within all layers of our being, and it’s essential to talk about and address healing at every level. That’s why we create alternative systems of healing by offering new approaches and methodologies.
The Root Alchemy Institute exists to provide integrative, alternative, holistic, spirit-centered, indigenous-rooted healing methodologies, modalities, holistic medicines, trainings + initiations, mentorship, resources, events, tools and services. We aim to spread wisdom of how to transmute and heal mental health challenges and traumas of varying kinds, as well as spiritual crises, awakening journeys, harmful lineage cycles, ancestral wounds - and more- through ancient and holistic approaches as alternatives to conventional Western models (or in conjunction with where applicable). To provide culturally relevant, decolonized, depathologized models of care, transformation and true alchemy of wounds into light and power, and support people in having agency over their health and selves. To provide relevant content to support the consciousness shift of what is possible and where our magic lies. To collaborate with existing systems and structures to provide a new way.

The Root Alchemy Institute was created to provide truly holistic centered trainings to practitioners - those who exist in the “alternative” realm, as well as those trained in conventional models who are seeking to expand their scope and offerings to be more integrative.
We imagined a world where healing is possible - alchemy is real- and we can transmute any and everything. This world is here. We are growing a movement of alternative practitioners and responses for mental health healing. Our work has shown us there are many people who don’t resonate with the conventional approach. We received the guidance to step into this energy of audacity. To be The Ones. We are committed to creating something new - for the New Earth being ushered in. This is our legacy. Thank you for being with us on this journey.
Philosophies
We Help Our Clients to “Heal Themselves”
Our healing approach incorporates a focus on the energetic aspects of a person’s being, as we believe that this is an essential part of holistic healing.
Online Accessibility
Root Alchemy offers online programs, virtual sessions, trainings and other resources that can be accessed from anywhere; which can make their services more accessible to a wider audience and set them apart from competitors who only offer in-person services.
Power in Healing
We don’t view mental health disorders or imbalances as something to be fixed or cured. Instead, we see them as opportunities for growth and transformation. We want people to know its possible to heal any and everything they are dealing with.
Heal at all Layers
Our approach stands out by addressing healing at all layers, from the physical, mental to the energetic, emotional, and spiritual, allowing for a deeper and more comprehensive transformation.
Root Healing
At our center, we understand that your struggles run deep, and we are committed to helping you uncover and heal the root causes of your pain. We know that simply addressing the surface-level symptoms won’t bring you the lasting transformation you desire. We will guide you through the healing journey to create profound changes.
Experienced founder
Our founder’s passion for healing and helping others comes from a deep personal journey of healing herself, which fuels her dedication to guiding clients towards their own transformative healing experiences.
