Bodywork, Hypnotherapy, & Spirit Communication
w/ Alyssa Schimmel
We deeply honor the ecology of your whole being — body, mind, heart, and soul. We treat signs of pain or unrest as sacred signals, inviting compassionate witnessing, inquiry, and healing. Through bodywork, hypnotherapy, spirit communication, and herbal education, we help you reconnect to your inner wisdom and guidance to find alignment and purpose in a world off-kilter. Together, each session becomes a space for deep renewal – so that you can return to your sphere more embodied, engaged, resourced, and resilient.
Following therapeutic sessions, clients often experience:
- Relief from chronic body tension, pain, holding patterns, and emotional blocks
- Shifting of limiting beliefs and patterns into more active resourcefulness
- Greater clarity, calm, focus, creativity, and vision
- A renewed sense of purpose and direction
- Feeling more at home in body and life
- Awakened connection to spiritual gifts, sources of guidance, and awareness

Uses rocking, shaking, jostling, and lengthening techniques to deeply relax the central nervous system, allowing for the unwinding of holding patterns to create lasting neuromuscular change.

CranialSacral
A light-touch modality with ‘holds’ along different facets of the cranium, sacrum, spine, and moveable paired joints to improve the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid – the luscious lymphatic bathwater cushioning the brain and nervous system. Helps the body release and reorganize into balance and ease. A deeply relaxing modality that is renowned for somatic experiencing and personal insight.

Reiki
A gentle form of Japanese energy healing that combines hands-on and hands-off positions to clear stagnant energy in the body, mind, and spirit at the site of old physical injuries, depletion or inflammation, and emotional pain or blocks. Reiki recognizes many layers within the body’s electromagnetic field and addresses it through a directed flow of intention and presence. Clients often feel deeply nourished, warmed, cleared, and re-energized. Session can include by-request sharing of intuitive insights received during the session. Option for in-person or distance reiki. A favorite for those ritualizing new life chapters and complementary therapy for those undergoing extensive medical treatment.

Hypnotherapy
Hypnosis is a natural brain state of relaxed focus. Chances are, you’re already familiar with it. It’s the state of mind most people slip into when watching a favorite TV show, scrolling through social media, or driving from point A to point B without ‘consciously’ remembering the route because it’s become ‘second nature.’ In hypnosis, we work through that brain state of trance-like, relaxed focus to access the subconscious mind.
The subconscious mind holds memory of all your lived experiences including all of the associated perceptions, sensations, emotions, memories, thoughts, and behaviors that were imprinted during important life events. Oftentimes, we desire change and make efforts toward it, but old programming kicks up resistance. The old programming developed to keep us safe, and despite having grown beyond those imprints, the subconscious mind hasn’t gotten the memo.
Modern neuroscience has established that while in trance, the brain increases its levels of plasticity. Hypnotherapy allows us to ignore distractions and communicate directly with the parts of our mind to release outdated programming at the subconscious level. If you can listen to guided relaxation and follow verbal cues, imagery, and repetition — you can make changes to improve your health through hypnosis!
What happens during a session?
A session takes place in three distinct parts and is tailored for each client.
Intake — We determine your present issue, contributing life experiences, and personal history (30-45 minutes).
Hypnosis – We facilitate hypnosis which can include suggestibility exercises, guided relaxation, and the hypnotic session (45 minutes to 1 hour).
Post-Session De-brief – We cover techniques of self-hypnosis and ways you can strengthen the hypnotic changes initiated with take-home exercises.
It’s important to note that even in the deepest trance states, clients remain completely in control of their will and volition. We affirm – all hypnosis is self-hypnosis. Though we provide suggestions tailored to your goals, you are in complete control and will only act in your self’s highest healing interest.
Hypnosis is a safe and effective complementary therapy to support inner change. It’s best viewed as a process. While significant change can occur in one session, more complex or nuanced issues may benefit from multiple sessions to address different components of the issue.

Spirit Communication
Psychic:
Counsel on Present & Future
Gain clarity and guidance with a psychic reading. This reading type connects to verifiable information about situations in your current life – including work/career, relationships, family, health, love, finances, etc. Once we confirm that we are in fact connecting soul-to-soul, this reading will provide predictions for your foreseeable future. You are welcome to ask questions during this reading type to gain insight into your heart’s need. Remember, the reading provided covers your current state. You always have free will and the ability to choose differently for yourself.
Soul Reading:
Reading on Major Life Storylines
A soul reading addresses the arc of your soul’s journey in your present life. Past life information may also come through. This reading type addresses gifts, challenges, and growth points of your current soul journey. This reading type is wonderful for providing clarity on major life themes and storylines where you may be seeking healing or affirmation.
Mediumship Reading:
Connecting to Loved Ones in Spirit
Mediumship readings build a bridge of communication between a loved one in spirit and you! I’ll be working to bring through evidence you can understand — details about their personality, relationship, your connection to them, memories, and relevant messages. This reading type speaks to the heart! It’s a joy to communicate with your loved ones!
What happens during a reading?
During a reading, we’ll work to bring through evidence of your present life, your loved ones in spirit, or information of your soul’s journey. It’s important to keep an open mind and be receptive to the information that comes through. Sometimes it may not be immediately verifiable to you but can be checked with other family members later or occur to you at a later date. These can often be extra special moments when Spirit brings through information you may not know just yet or has yet to happen. I’ll check in with you throughout the reading to verify information shared. Please just validate with “yes, no, maybe, or I’m not sure” and please refrain from providing additional information so you can be sure that the information coming through is clear for you.
Can I ask for someone specific to come through?
Spirit determines who has a need to come forward for you. Occasionally this may be different than who you’ve intended or desired. Please be open minded to receive what is being shared from Spirit. In the event that who is coming through is harmful and not desired for that reason, we can allow other communicator forward. In the case of sensitive information coming through, I’ll be sure to check in with you on your readiness or comfort level in receiving what is being shared from Spirit. You always have the right to decline. Just because a person is in spirit does not make them more wise. Remember you always have free will and the ability to make your own decisions for your life.
What happens if we can't connect to one of my loved ones during the reading?
Occasionally, it happens that we may not be able to bring through a recognizable communicator for you. If after the first 10 minutes we are not able to facilitate a connection, I will refund your order. I want you to be satisfied with receiving information from a verifiable connection for you.
My approach to spirit communcation.
I believe we all have these inner capabilities. It’s through the awareness and refinement of this communication, unique to each of us, that we can live with more spiritual wisdom and trust in the path we walk and the support from our connections here and there.
Since 2020, I’ve been honored to read with accuracy, heart, and detail for more than 900 people from all over the world including from the United States, Canada, Germany, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Sweden, Russia, Kuwait, India, Australia, New Zealand, and Mexico. I’ve received training from some of the best tutors domestically and internationally in the lineage of the Journey Within Spiritualist Church and the Arthur Findlay College of the U.K.
Whether you are dealing with more immediate grief over the loss of a loved one, or seeking clarity of the heart and soul purpose, it’s my honor to connect you with Spirit to enhance your life and your paths forward.
