Somatic coaching and bodywork

embodied exploration for women

Come home to your body

Alchemy is an invitation to slow down, listen within, and cultivate a deeper relationship with yourself. Through presence, pleasure, power, and play, we explore what it means to feel more at home in our bodies - and more awake to this one wild, ordinary life.

Hello, I'm Becs.

I'm interested in what helps us humans feel more alive, more embodied, and more able to meet our lives with tenderness, agency, and curiosity.

Alchemy is a culmination of my hands on practice, education, and lived experience. It's where I share the practices, questions and discoveries that have helped me, and where I get to keep practising alongside a growing community of inspired and inspiring individuals who believe in human flourishing and desire less pushing, pursuing, and performance.

A Year of Alchemy

49 weeks. 49 practices. $49 NZD.

Come along with me for an intentional year of presence, pleasure, power, and play.

From mid-November 2026 to mid-November 2027, recieve a weekly email with a new somatic practice to listen to and explore in your own time - accompanied by a journal invitation and, from time to time, something a little extra for when you want to go deeper.

No keeping up, or fear of falling behind. Just join when the time is right and access a growing library of somatic practices you can return to whenever you need them.

It works out at $1 NZD a week.

Every person who joins helps keep Alchemy alive and makes a very real difference to my little family.

A slower way back to yourself

I created Alchemy for people a little like me.

Sensitive people, hard workers, carers, thinkers, and people who have collected a number of stories, and likely lessons, along the way.

People who can hold a lot - and who sometimes realise they’ve become very good at getting through life without necessarily being fully in it.

Alchemy isn’t about become a better version of yourself. It’s about becoming more intimate with the version that’s already here. Your body, senses, desires, boundaries, tenderness, rage, ridiculousness, and wisdom. No fixing or performing, just quietly practicing being more fully here.

Experience Alchemy in-person

Sometimes we need another human in the room

My small in-person practice is based in Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand.

Come for deep rest through Mindful Massage, explore something you're curious about through Body Alchemy, or join one of my intimate Seasonal Retreats.

My work draws from more than two decades of exploration across therapeutic massage, somatic practice, embodiment, movement, coaching and sexuality education.

It is warm, collaborative and grounded in one simple belief: You are the expert on you.

Alchemy Pillars

PRESENCE

Slow down, notice and breathe. Learn to stay with yourself and meet what is actually here with curiosity and care.

PLEASURE

Awaken your senses, follow what feels good, and let pleasure become something you can notice, receive, and cultivate in ordinary life.

POWER

Explore safely dominating and submitting to life, your boundaries, desires, shadows, and choices. Embody and practice true agency.

PLAY

Move, experiment, get curious, and make room for creativity, mischief, expression, and the parts of you that don’t need to achieve anything at all.
