Kia ora, I’m Becs
I help women find more presence, pleasure, power and play in everyday life.
Through Alchemy, I offer Mindful Massage, Body Alchemy, Day Retreats, and Somatic Coaching.
I believe our bodies hold innate wisdom. They are also shaped by the stories we carry and the lives we live - relationships, stress, life choices, careers, conditioning, caregiving, grief, identify shifts, medical experiences, change, and everything in between.
Alchemy is a place to be witnessed and to look within.
My role is never to fix or override what is present. Instead, I offer a space to listen deeply, and tend to your body, heart, and inner world with curiosity and compassion.
Through attentive touch, somatic awareness, conversation, and guided enquiry, Alchemy sessions are designed to support nervous system awareness and fine tuning, embodied presence, and a renewed sense of aliveness.
About Alchemy
Alchemy was created as a gentle alternative to pushing, fixing, or performing wellness.
Many women arrive feeling disconnected from themselves after years of meeting expectations, carrying responsibility, caring for others, or navigating significant life experiences.
Through Alchemy, I offer women guided spaces to meet their own wisdom, healing, and growth.
At the heart of our work together are four pillars:
Presence: Cultivating awareness, regulation, and connection to the present moment.
Pleasure. Reconnecting with sensation, beauty, enjoyment, and aliveness.
Power. Strengthening agency, boundaries, self-trust, and choice.
Play. Embracing curiosity, creativity, exploration, and possibility
About Me
Like many people, I’ve experienced my share of challenges, unexpected plot twists, and moments that asked me to begin again.
These experiences have deepened my curiosity about what helps us heal, grow, and reconnect with ourselves. They’ve taught me the value of being in my body, being self-aware, leaning into clean communication, and the importance of meeting myself and others with compassion.
I’ve always had a preference for authenticity and a curiosity for what helps us all feel alive and inspired.
I’m a life-long learner and have spent a lot of time deepening my understanding and appreciation for all things somatic (‘soma’ translates to the living body), including trained in therapeutic massage, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum & baby massage, head, face & buccal massage, somatic coaching, group facilitation, embodied movement, and sexology.
Alongside this, I’ve spent more than two decades as a strategic communicator, developing a deep appreciation for the ways people make meaning, navigate change, and communicate with themselves and others.
Speaking and events
I love creating experiences that invite people into meaningful reflection, connection, and growth.
Drawing on a background in strategic communication, facilitation, embodiment, and somatic practice, I speak to topics related to presence, pleasure, power, and play, including self-leadership, communicating through change, nervous system awareness, and human flourishing.
Whether I’m facilitating a retreat, leading a workshop, speaking at an event, or contributing to an organisation’s evolution, my aim is to create experiences that are practice, thought-provoking, and deeply human.
Let’s connect.
