If youâre new here, Iâm Chaney, the heart behind Aligned & Alchemy Wellness, and Iâm so glad you found your way to my space.
Lately Iâve been reflecting on how this work has unfolded, and it feels like such a full-circle moment.
When I look back, this journey did not begin with a title or certification. It began with my own curiosity about health, healing, and what it truly means to feel well in mind, body, and spirit.
In 2013, during my senior year, I became a Certified Nursing Assistant and spent about 6 years supporting people through very real and human moments. That experience shaped the way I care for others and how I hold space with compassion, presence, and respect for what someone may be carrying.
From there, I moved into massage therapy, where I studied anatomy and physiology and began to understand how physical tension can often reflect something deeper.
That path led me into Reiki, Yomassage, and more trauma-informed, somatic work. It deepened my understanding of how the body holds experience, how the nervous system responds, and how important it is for people to feel safe enough to soften.
In 2023, I followed that calling even further and returned to school at the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts. Over 18 months, I trained as an Integrative Healing Arts Practitioner and studied hypnotherapy, advanced hypnotherapy, subconscious reprogramming, somatic healing, NLP, and nervous system regulation.
In 2025, I became a Reiki Master, stepped into retreat leadership, and began creating deeper, more immersive healing experiences.
The work I offer today is deeply trauma-informed, intuitive, and intentional. It is not about rushing the process or forcing change. It is about creating a space where healing can feel safe, supported, and sustainable.
Iâm so grateful for every step of this journey, for every person who has trusted me, and for all that is still unfolding.
If youâve been here supporting me, thank you. And if youâre newer here, Iâm really glad youâre here.
