*Soooo, like, WTF is Rest Alchemy?

Rest Alchemy is the unique combination of my professional skills designed to remind you that your body is magic.

It isn’t just about taking naps or adding another self-help book to your TBR list.

It’s a potent combination of Reiki, Somatics & Intuitive Bodywork that allows you to:

  • take back your power & stop feeling stuck in a burnout loop
  • figure out who you truly are & honour all the versions of you it took to get here
  • create a life that reflects the world you want to live in & live in alignment with your values

Your body is the link & rest is the portal.

Your body is magic.

I am wickedly right about this & will convince you it's true.

The BEST Reiki I have ever had! Powerful, potent, and incredibly healing. The combo of Reiki and massage was particularly great. Plus, Alys' sense of ambience is above and beyond! What a gorgeous space; what an eye for detail! Will definitely be booking again- for both Reiki and massage!

Massage
Alys is such an amazing practitioner! They have helped me slow down in response to burnout, process some big feelings, and really helped me attune to how my body handles stress and anxiety. Aly’s space is so cozy and inviting, and Alys has such a comforting and calming presence. I feel so much lighter physically and mentally every time I book a session here!

Massage
Alys at Body Brew Studio is the first massage therapist that I've rebooked with! They've created such a warm, cozy and inviting space where I can go and slow down, relax and take time for myself. Alys has a magical blend of massage, reiki, cupping, aromatherapy, hot towels and somatics making them Edmontons Relaxation Master in my eyes!
