💛 Massage shouldn’t feel scary. Relief shouldn’t be temporary.
If you’ve ever felt anxious about un******ng, lying down, or “just relaxing” during bodywork… I get it. I’ve been there too. Traditional massage left me tense, frustrated, and craving more than a momentary relief.
That’s why Body Alchemy exists.
Here, you stay fully clothed if you want, while sound healing, guided meditation, and gentle bodywork help your nervous system truly settle. Sessions don’t just feel good—they create lasting calm, peace, and relief.
Most clients leave after their first visit saying:
"For the first time in months, the tightness in my chest has softened."
If you’re burned out, carrying tension, or just need a safe space to simply BE, Body Alchemy Chattanooga is here for you. 💫
Your body deserves care that works.

Do you feel triggered all the time…
even when nothing is actually wrong?

Your body stays on edge.
Your nervous system scans for danger.
And there’s this constant sense that something bad is about to happen—
even when life looks “fine” on the outside.

That’s not because you’re broken.
And it’s not because you’re weak.
It’s because your nervous system learned, at some point,
that it wasn’t safe to fully relax.

So now:
• Calm feels unfamiliar
• Triggers feel like emergencies
• Anxiety shows up without a clear source
• Your body stays in fight-or-flight, just in case
And living like that is exhausting.

What you actually want isn’t to “get rid of anxiety.”
You want to feel unshakable.
Steady in your body.
Able to meet triggers without spiraling.
Free from the constant fear that the other shoe is about to drop.
And that kind of calm doesn’t come from thinking differently.
It comes from your body learning—through experience—that it’s safe now.

This is the work of Body Alchemy Chattanooga.
We don’t override your system.
We don’t force calm.
We create the conditions where your nervous system can finally soften on its own.
Because true safety isn’t a mindset.

It’s a felt experience.

And once your body knows safety…
everything changes.

If this resonates, your body may already be saying yes.

You don’t have to live braced for impact anymore. You can soften into safety.

What is Somatic Therapy, really?

“Somatic therapy” has become a bit of a buzzword lately—especially in spaces talking about trauma, anxiety, and PTSD. But somatic therapies are not new, and they’re not just one type of therapy.

The word somatic comes from the Latin soma, meaning “body.”
So quite simply, any approach that works with the body instead of just the mind falls under the umbrella of somatic therapy.

That means practices like:
✨ Breathwork & pranayama
✨ Yoga & mindful movement
✨ Massage therapy
✨ Sound balancing
✨ Craniosacral therapy
…and many more

All of these support healing by helping the nervous system feel safe again.

⸻

Why does this matter for trauma?

Trauma doesn’t just live in our thoughts—it lives in the body.

You might know this feeling:
• Being triggered and suddenly shaking like a leaf
• Feeling constantly on edge or hyper-vigilant
• Feeling disconnected, numb, or dissociated from your body
• Knowing something is “off,” but not being able to think your way out of it

Somatic therapies gently work with the body to help release stored stress, regulate the nervous system, and rebuild a sense of safety from the inside out.

About Body Alchemy Chattanooga

Body Alchemy Chattanooga is a somatic therapy and energy healing studio located on the Northshore of Chattanooga.

For over a decade, our practice has been dedicated to supporting survivors from all walks of life, including those in recovery.

Mirilena is trained in multiple somatic modalities, which means that when you walk into the studio, you have access to every tool in the toolbox—all in one place.

Our intention is simple:
To help you begin to feel at home in your body again.

⸻

The Signature Session

Healing is not one-size-fits-all. That’s why the Signature Session was created.

Best experienced in a 90-minute or 2-hour session, this offering weaves together any modalities needed for you—Breathwork, sound balancing, Craniosacral therapy, energy work, and more.

✨ No cookie-cutter sessions
✨ No standard protocol
✨ Every session is completely customized

Each experience is unique because you are unique.

⸻

Somatic therapy can be a powerful stand-alone treatment or a beautiful complement to work you’re already doing—like talk therapy or acupuncture.

While somatic therapy is appropriate for most people, there are times when it may not be the right fit—and we always honor that with care, transparency, and integrity.

If you’ve been curious about somatic therapy, it may just be the doorway to healing you’ve been looking for.

💛 Come experience it for yourself.

Helping you come home to your body, one session at a time

Are you the cycle breaker in your family?

The one who feels the weight of what came before you
and knows, deep in your bones, that it ends here.

The one here to create a new energetic lineage
rooted in truth, safety, and authenticity
not fear, survival, or silence.

Here’s what most people don’t realize:

You don’t heal generational trauma by thinking your way out of it.
You heal it by teaching your body that it’s safe now.

Because when the nervous system doesn’t feel safe,
your light feels dangerous.
Your voice feels risky.
Your power feels like a threat.

And no amount of mindset work can override biology.

✨ This work happens in layers:

1️⃣ It starts in the body
Retraining the nervous system to feel safety and release stored survival responses. We cannot bypass our animal biology or outthink fight, flight, or freeze. Safety is the doorway.

2️⃣ It moves through the subconscious
Reparenting the parts of you that are still frozen in time. The child that learned to stay small, stay quiet, stay alert in order to survive.

3️⃣ It heals through connection
Through nervous system coregulation, being witnessed by a calm, attuned presence. Shame dissolves when it is met with safety, not analysis.

This is the power of coregulation.
Your nervous system learns safety through neuroception — through tone, presence, energy, and attunement — long before logic ever gets involved.

Body Alchemy blends nervous system regulation with sound and energy healing to help your body remember how to settle, soften, and trust again.

Our integrative series Inner Alchemy creates a container where deep safety is established in the body while painful stories and limiting beliefs are addressed at the energetic and spiritual root.

Different from therapy, but a beautiful complement.
No reliving the trauma.
No retelling the story.
No forcing the mind to revisit what the body is ready to release.

We work with the bioenergetic field — where the pattern began.

Are you ready to stop trauma from unconsciously controlling your story
and let your nervous system become the foundation for your power?

Because when safety lives in the body,
standing in your light isn’t something you try to do.
It’s who you become.

We have so many filters that shape our experience.

So much of somatic work, trauma work, and healing work, is about learning to sit with the data, without getting caught in the story.

Feeling at home in your body again, begins with non-judgement.

What if you what you were feeling wasn't good, bad, right or wrong...but instead it was just "information?"

When we let go of the judgment, very often we begin to move out of the suffering.

Your anxiety, dis-ease, and uncomfortable feelings are not a failure...they are just...energy in motion.

Want to feel at home in your body again?

That's exactly what we do in the Body Alchemy Studio.

unpopular opinion:

Talk Therapy isn’t enough

Let’s talk about why it can feel so frustrating and honestly unfair when you’ve been doing everything right.
Years of talk therapy.
Counseling.
Insight.
Awareness.

You understand your story.
You know why you are the way you are.
You’ve processed it.
Talked it to death.

And yet you still don’t actually feel better.

You’re calmer for a moment.
Hopeful for a week.
Then somehow you end up right back on the same hamster wheel of anxiety, shutdown, overwhelm, or emotional pain 🐹💔

If this is you, here’s the truth most people were never told:

Nothing is wrong with you.

The nervous system doesn’t heal just because we understand something.
It heals through experience.

You can think differently and still feel stuck because your body is still living in survival mode.

Safety is the foundation of real healing, not as an idea, but as something your body can feel 🧠🤍

When the nervous system hasn’t experienced enough safety, it doesn’t matter how much insight you have.
It will keep replaying the same patterns.
Not because you’re failing,
But because it’s trying to protect you.

What most people want isn’t more talking.
It’s not more analyzing.

It’s to finally feel different.

To breathe without tension.
To stop bracing for the next thing to go wrong.
To respond instead of react.
To feel like life is actually moving forward again 🌿

This is where Craniosacral Therapy is different.

It works directly with the nervous system and the body, not by forcing change, but by creating the conditions where change can happen naturally.

The work is slow.
Gentle.
Deeply attuned.

You’re not asked to relive everything.
You don’t have to explain your trauma.
You don’t have to figure it out.

Nothing is forced.
Nothing is pushed.

When the body finally experiences safety, it remembers how to heal.

Craniosacral Therapy supports central nervous system regulation, deep rest, and integration, creating an energetic shift that people often describe as the first time they’ve actually felt different, not just understood why they hurt ✨

If you’re tired of the endless loop.
If you’re ready for a different way forward.
If you want real change without talking it to death.

That way exists 🤍

You’re invited to experience it for yourself.

What is Chronic Hypervigilance? 👀⚡️

Chronic hypervigilance is what happens when your body’s internal alarm system gets stuck in the on position. Even when you’re safe, your nervous system keeps scanning, bracing, and preparing for something to go wrong.

How it can feel:
✨ Always on edge
✨ Easily startled
✨ Trouble relaxing or sleeping
✨ Constant tension with no obvious reason

Why it happens:
Past stress or trauma can teach the body to stay protected. Even if the mind has moved on (or doesn’t remember), the body remembers. It keeps the guard up just in case. 🛡️

What this really means:
Your system is trying so hard to keep you safe. It’s not broken — it’s overworked. And that can feel exhausting, confusing, and lonely.

⸻

How Craniosacral Therapy Can Help 🌿👐

Craniosacral therapy uses gentle, supportive touch to help the nervous system remember how to settle again. By supporting the vagus nerve — the pathway of rest, safety, and restoration — the body can slowly shift out of “always on guard” mode and into ease.

Clients often notice:
💨 Deeper, fuller breaths
🌊 A wave of calm moving through the body
🌙 Better sleep and more regulation
🤍 More ease in everyday life

If any of this feels familiar, craniosacral therapy offers a safe, non-invasive way to support your body’s natural ability to reset. You don’t have to relive memories or find the right words — your soma already knows how to soften when it’s supported.

Sometimes the first step isn’t doing more… it’s letting your body feel safe enough to rest. ✨

Energy healing modalities are a tuning into the frequency of your connective tissue, the magnetic field of your heart and more.

Everyone has the ability to learn to “listen,” most people just never become still enough to feel it.

Massage therapist and energy healing practitioners spend hours each day simply “listening” to not only your energetic rhythms but your connective tissues.

It isn’t magic woo woo, it is the ability to sit in silence and presence as we work with you.

You could learn how to do it too!
