Successful energy healing is the alchemy of intention, compassion, and the boundless power that flows through the universe, uniting healer and seeker in the dance of holistic transformation.

WElcome, I’m Melissa Larsen, and I’m so glad you found your way here.

At Alquimista da Alma, I guide individuals on transformative journeys toward inner peace, balance, and profound self-healing. My mission is rooted in helping you reconnect with your inner wisdom, find stillness within chaos, and align deeply with your authentic self.

My Journey

My personal path from engineering and hydrology to holistic healing unfolded after a major life shift. Moving from the United States to Portugal in 2022 brought an initial wave of excitement, quickly followed by deep emotional and physical challenges. Through meditation, yoga, Reiki, and intuitive energy work, I found my way out of that darkness into profound self-awareness and lasting healing.

This transformative journey awakened in me the calling to share what I’ve learned and experienced, supporting others through similar transitions and challenges.

How I Work

I blend ancient wisdom with modern practices:

  • Meditation & Yoga: Offering guided meditations, Yin Yoga, and gentle Vinyasa flow classes, I support students in building mindful, sustainable wellness practices.

  • Intuitive Energy Healing (Reiki & Alchemical Healing): Specializing in chakra alignment and energetic balancing, my healing sessions help clear emotional blockages, restore energetic flow, and facilitate deep spiritual renewal.

  • Essential Oils & Aromatherapy: Intuitively blended oils enhance and deepen the healing journey, providing additional support for emotional release and spiritual clarity.

My New Offering: Root & Rise

I’m thrilled to soon launch Root & Rise: A Sacred Spiral of Healing, a subscription-based library filled with guided healing meditations, new moon rituals, essential oil practices, and reflective journaling prompts. Root & Rise is a dedicated space for ongoing healing, growth, and connection.

Whether you’re just starting your wellness journey or seeking deeper transformation, you’re warmly invited to join me.

Melissa

My Approach to healing

It all begins with your physical, mental, and spititual health goals. With the addition of my intuition, and yours too, we will work together to determine the best approach. It could be the daily use of essential oils and essential oil sprays. It could be that we dive right into energy healing.

Oils and Sprays

I have over 50 essential oil blends that were divinely inspired. When the oil blends are used in combination with the corresponding essential oil spray, powerful healing begins. We will pick the best oils specifically for you and set you on your way to healing, balance, and transformation.

Chakra Reiki Healing

Do you want to feel more grounded and secure? Does your confident need a natural boost? Would you like to feel worthy of love every day? These are some of the obstacles we can shift with chakra balancing energy work.
