With Amelia Mitchell, LMT, LLCC, BCTMB

Clutter is more than simply stuff that is in the way collecting dust. It takes a lot of energy to maintain our clutter, it often breeds more clutter! Having worked with many students in a variety of workshops, Amelia brings a fresh and gentle look at the concept of clearing out our spaces and making room for the new. She brings humor, understanding, and compassion to the topic, and provides a lot of practical solutions and ideas.
Amelia is the creator of a variety of workshops including Embody Peace, and continuing education educator offering Ethics and Diversity classes to the Massage Therapy community and she is a certified Healing From the Core Presenter with the Upledger Institute. She taught workshops locally, at Anne Arundel Community College, and around the US and in Canada. Amelia brings a conscious and grounded presence, her sensitive, nurturing heart, and a loving playful spirit to all her work. Facilitating connection is one of Amelia's strongest skills. Whether it is one on one, deepening personal connection between body, mind, and spirit, or supporting group communication and connections, Amelia dives deeply and sensitively into this healing work.
”Amelia is a patient, kind, and energetic teacher who puts a personal face on the material. She is very in tune with what she teaches.”

PREVIOUS ALCHEMY EVENINGS
CONSCIOUS BREATHING: AN INTRODUCTION
with Kay Schaefer, PT
Wednesday, January 9, 2019 at 7:00 pm
Conscious Breathing is a powerful tool for the body to rebalance and heal itself using the breath. CB brings an embodied awareness of the breath as it naturally occurs during movement and while sitting still. Noticing one’s natural breath in different parts of the body invites an open background for movement reeducation and healing.
Research shows that how you breathe effects the “3 M’s”, memory, mood and muscles. For instance, the rhythm of breathing affects memory and fear. Yogic breathing fights depression. Slow breathing induces tranquility. Meditation and breathing exercises can sharpen your brain. Nose breathing can harness memory and breathing exercises can reduce stress at the brain stem.
Kay Schaefer is a local physical therapist and a friend of Alchemy. Kay has a superb understanding of the relationships between body, mind, and spirit. She brings sensitivity, compassion, and wisdom to of her sessions. We are pleased to introduce you to her workshop Conscious Breathing.

THE GUT BRAIN CONNECTION – A CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY PERSPECTIVE

With Catherine Whelan, BS, LMT, CST
As a CranioSacral Therapist, Catherine works to support and enhance the health of our nervous system at many levels.
