What Is Inner Alchemy?
Alchemy is the art of inner liberation, transformation, and change. It involves a recalibration with our potential to transform our lives, by aligning our thoughts, feelings, and actions with our Self (soul). The ancient art of alchemy involved the reunion of spirit and matter. Today, I consider it a path of deepening into your relationship with the sacred dimensions of all life through embodied practices. Through alchemy, we create a relationship between our inner world and our outer world altering and transforming the properties in the physical world as we free the spiritual self from fear, limiting beliefs, and lack of self-acceptance.
What Is Sound Alchemy?
The ancient alchemist used sound and vibration as a medium of healing and transformation for the mind, body, and soul. Sound is both an ancient and modern gateway into the psyche and soma. In ancient times, sound was a portal or doorway into alternative dimensions of consciousness. By pairing this ancient wisdom with modern sound frequencies and neurophysiological models, we can enhance physical and psychological safety, helping the body shift out of defensive states such as fight, flight, or freeze. Through sound, we can travel in and through the body as we tend to our areas of stagnation, dissociation, and disharmony. The science of sound is based on concepts such as entrainment, cymatics, and resonant frequencies. As an integrative practice, sound lab experiences extend beyond the limitations of traditional models of psychological growth, inviting profound change and holistic healing to occur as we liberate our unconscious patterning and evolve ourselves into a new paradigm of living.
Informative Podcast Appearance
In this episode of Elevated Life Academy, Paula shares her journey from traditional psychotherapy to somatic experiencing and body-based therapies, highlighting the profound impact of understanding how trauma is stored in the body. She opens up about innovative healing methods, including the use of sound for co-regulation and polyvagal theory, revealing how these techniques bridge ancient wisdom with modern practices. The conversation uncovers the complexities of collective and generational trauma, the power of healing circles, and the transformative potential of intentionality in therapeutic work. Paula also explores the intersection of ancient shamanic practices and modern psychotherapeutic techniques, showcasing the resurgence of these powerful healing approaches.

Why Would I Join?
To better know and understand your deeper Self
We all have internal programs and beliefs that unconsciously guide us and can get in the way of our experience of self-love, joy, and inner freedom to connect to our soul essence or Self.
When we engage in deep Self-discovery and attunement to our sensations and emotions, we free ourselves from limiting patterns by becoming conscious of them. These patterns are often held in our physiology, our bodies, and our nervous system.
To have more nourishing and satisfying relationships with others
Our relationship with ourselves greatly impacts how we engage in our intimate relationships. To improve our experience of connection with others, we need to look at our unconscious patterns. Most unconscious patterns start in our formative years of life (age 0-7) and include our intergenerational and collective programming and wounding.
To enhance your experience of joy, creativity, and inner wisdom
The more healing we engage in around our emotional wounds, the more embodied we become, and greater capacity we have to live from our fullest most authentic version of ourselves. When we do the deeper work on ourselves, we not only process our pain, but we gain access to our states of joy, spontaneity, and creative expression.

With so much focus these days on fixing symptoms, there needs to be a place where we can tap into real options for deep and long-lasting healing through the organicity of the body and its biological imperative to move toward wholeness and health.
Recent Reviews
I really came into this course with no agenda whatsoever, aware that this mode of delivery of SSP was very different from my training and application, eager to explore this alternative. I approached the experience with no set expectations, but open to whatever may unfold for me. I found the course material fascinating, informative and thought provoking; a wonderful way to add breadth and depth to the weekly listening, supporting the invitation to undertake a personal journey of discovery and growth. I was not disappointed in any way; what unfolded for me was delightful, surprising and enlightening. I found the group format supportive, while Paula’s calm, grounded presence created a sense of safety and connection. The main gain for me has been my eagerness to reach and search for social connection, instead of my previous tendency to avoid, or be anxious about it. This has gone hand in hand with an acceptance that I can accept who I am in the world, without always focusing on my perceived shortcomings. This has been quite a relief at the age of 50+! I would definitely recommend this journey with Paula. I believe she has created something quite unique, heartfelt, and potentially life changing. I feel like my eyes have opened to new possibilities!

"One of my hopes and intentions for being a part of this experience was to overcome discomfort I've had with intimacy as well as other challenges with belonging within group settings. I was so amazed at how safe the space felt for me and how deep I was able to go into the process and during our time together, even connecting with others in the group across our differences. My participation in the group gifted me with such a rich experience that I find it difficult to articulate with words just how healing and meaningful it was for me.
I found myself making connections more easily with my life experiences to better understand all that's shaped who I am currently, expanding my capacity to be kind to my inner child and able to recognize when it is her who is showing up as compared to my adult self (or other selves), and communicating my needs in an assertive and empowered way with very little hesitation. It was like meeting and getting comfortable with a new version of myself, a more victorious one.
I will carry with me and cherish this experience and the opportunity to be a part of it as I explore all the parts of me I have yet to discover. I am so proud of the version of me that this program has supported me in becoming."

Paula offers a beautiful space of exploration, connection, containments and wisdom as one takes the embodied journey using SSP. I not only grew in my own skills to offer and lead but also got to nourish my own being. It’s been a beautiful experience filled with kindness, wisdom and support to stay connected to my authentic and whole self.

"As a person who has done a lot of healing work through the decades using various modalities in various settings and groups, I was not expected to be surprised by the experiences that arose in this transformational process in Paula's community for healing through sound. The group's relational safety combined with the alchemy catalyzed by sound revealed unresolved material in a contained way. I experienced fast moving images, emotions and sensations that resolved quickly and didn't leave me overwhelmed. I landed in a very integrated place, feeling safer in relationships, and a more authentic version of myself.”

Paula has a gentle, supportive, intuitive way of holding space for participants to explore and practice attuning to the messages of their body and respond effectively. This course felt like an unfolding. It allowed me to hone my resiliency skills, clear away the noise that gets in the way of yielding into the present moment, and illuminated clarity for my path. As a fellow therapist, I was grateful for a healing space that didn't feel like I got too involved in other people's process, but rather could focus on my own journey with the group energy fortifying the container. I would recommend this course to anyone seeking a shift towards receptivity and the embodied feminine.

Paula joins the Mind Bod Adventure Podcast with Jeff Warren and Tasha Schumann to discuss Psychoacoustics and Safety:
Paula was recently a guest on "The Soul of Life" Podcast. It discusses the use of sound vibrations to reset hyper- or hypo-active nervous systems after trauma.
This method is called psychoacoustics, and Paula uses a tool called the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) to stimulate the tiny muscles of the inner ear, "massaging" the polyvagal nerve, and activating the body's safety, belonging, and relaxation system. SSP has been shown to relieve symptoms of dissociative depression, and anxiety. SSP was originally designed to treat Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) but has been widely used to treat a range of mental health and health symptoms.
