Rest Alchemy* for femmes & thems in soft animal bodies with rebel hearts who want to live their radical life without burning out.

Rest isn't something you earn. You are inherently worthy of it.

Rest Alchemy is the unique combination of 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 about reclaiming your right to slow down & be held in your full humanity & getting out of the burnout loop.

Rewriting the narrative  of your nervous system so you can embody your authentic self without overwhelming, spiritually bypassing, or gaslighting yourself.

Materializing your radical life to fully experience all that your rebel heart longs for without forcing, coercing or extracting from yourself.

*Soooo, like, WTF is Rest Alchemy actually?

Reclaim. Rewrite. Materialize.

Sounds pretty cool on paper, but if this is your first introduction to the world of energetics, somatics, and nervous system healing, it might sound too good to be true or just plain confusing.

Your body is magic.

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

In-person sessions can look like a blend of touch-based bodywork, somatic embodiment/movement, & Reiki energy work to support your body in

  • slowing down,
  • creating space, and
  • inviting a felt sense of comfort & safety.

Virtual sessions can look like a blend of somatic embodiment & Reiki energy to facilitate the same experience.

All sessions are designed with intention for the individual.

Your body is the link & rest is the portal.

By exploring the magic of your body & your relationship to rest, you can learn to embody your most authentic self (and figure out who that even is).

When you allow yourself to rest, you can alchemize what was into the life you long for.

Everything I teach & facilitate is rooted in the wisdom of being in generative relationship with your body.

Stay informed of upcoming classes, offerings, and other  magical events where you can learn, connect, & be with other rebel folk. Unsubscribe at any time.

Sliding scale pricing offers three options rather than one fixed price. This structure makes it possible for more people to access the Body Brew offerings.

Being a trauma-informed practitioner means that I have taken continuing education at a level that gives me a deep understanding and knowledge about the effects of trauma on the body at individual and systemic levels. I am educated in nervous system healing, somatic embodiment, polyvagal theory, decolonization, and clinical somatic movement. On a personal and professional level, I have practiced and continue to practice, ways of being that liberate myself and the collective.

Ways I show up as a trauma-informed practitioner & human:

  • Body Brew Mutual Aid Fund
  • Sliding Scale pricing
  • Scholarships and payment plans for courses
  • being a teacher with nuance and flexibility for the needs of individual students
  • increasing my capacity to hold space for others in genuine and deeply felt ways
  • knowing where my limits are, physically/mentally/emotionally, and honoring them
  • understanding the scope of my practice
  • personally donating and supporting non-profits I care about
  • being in the ongoing process of decolonizing my mind, body, and ways of being

What Clients Say

Alys is an AMAZING massage therapist. They really understand exactly how your body works, is super attentive and is easily the best massage therapist i’ve ever had. I would definitely recommend Alys for anyone looking for an excellent massage therapist who really cares about their clients!

Massage
Alys is amazing! The strong pressure massage felt great. The neck massage was a great decision on their part — I always forget how much pressure I carry in my neck and shoulders. The Reiki massage portion was a relaxing new experience — partway between massage and meditation for me. Alys is kind, attentive, skilled, and precise. I look forward to booking with them again in the future!

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!
CP
Reiki
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 Brew Body 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!
