Hello, I'm Liv, founder of Altha Alchemy, an Advanced SOMA Breath® Instructor and Reiki Practitioner.

I believe that when we find inner peace, we naturally inspire outer harmony.

Everything I offer is designed to help people reconnect with their own innate capacity for healing, balance and joy. Through immersive SOMA Breath® journeys, guided meditation, music and Reiki, I create experiences that gently regulate the nervous system, awaken the body's own "inner pharmacy" and leave people feeling calmer, lighter and more deeply connected to themselves, to others and to life.

My journey

Like many people I work with today, I spent years living in survival mode.

Undiagnosed neurodivergence, alongside more than two decades of living with M.E., meant my nervous system rarely felt safe. Constant masking, exhaustion, pain and inflammation left me feeling disconnected from myself and from life.

Then, during a period of burnout when I was largely housebound, I discovered SOMA Breath.

One day I put on my headphones, pressed play and simply followed the breath.

As the music carried me and my breathing found its rhythm, something shifted. Tingling spread through my body, my mind became quiet, and for the first time in a very long time I experienced a profound sense of peace, clarity and aliveness.

It felt like I was finally remembering who I'd always been beneath the stress, fear and utter exhaustion.

That experience changed the course of my life.

I trained as an Advanced SOMA Breath® Instructor because I wanted to help others experience that same transformation by guiding them back to the wisdom, resilience and healing already within us all.

Alongside breathwork, Reiki is an integral part of my work. I'm a member of the UK Reiki Federation and trained in the traditional Usui Shiki Ryoho lineage, tracing back to Dr Mikao Usui. I weave Reiki intuitively into my sessions, creating a space where people can soften, let go and reconnect with themselves on every level. This fusion is often a gently profound spiritual experience, both grounding and expansive at the same time.

Altha Alchemy

Every Altha Alchemy journey is unique.

I write bespoke guided meditations inspired by nature, the seasons and our shared human experience, weaving together SOMA Breath®, immersive music and Reiki into experiences that are grounding, uplifting and deeply restorative.

Whether you come seeking relief from stress, emotional balance, greater clarity or simply a chance to breathe, my intention is always the same:

To help you find inner peace, so you can inspire outer harmony.
