    The Alchemical Path Begins: Healing, Humanity, and Honoring the Messy Middle

    This podcast was born from a hunger for depth—a space where therapy and transformation don’t have to fit inside the box of clinical perfectionism, and where healing can be messy, spiritual, intuitive, and deeply human. In this solo episode, I share some of my personal journey: The early years of being a therapist and feeling the limits of the system The unexpected spiritual awakening that set everything in motion How Reiki and energy work cracked open new ways of understanding myself—and my clients Why I created The Alchemical Path as a space to challenge the norms and invite sacred remembering This is not just a podcast (for me). It's a practice in authenticity. A return to the soul of what healing can be. And a call to reimagine how we show up—for ourselves, and for others. 🎧 Whether you’re a therapist, healer, or simply walking your own path of becoming, this episode is an invitation to go deeper. 🌀 What to Expect Going Forward Each week, I’ll sit down with therapists, coaches, and guides who are doing things differently—blending science and soul, intuition and intellect, ritual and real life. You’ll hear stories, practices, and insights from those reclaiming healing as a sacred, personal, and collective path. 📬 Subscribe, review, and share if this resonates with you. And welcome—truly—to The Alchemical Path. Find out more about my practice at www.wpcounseling.org
