What is an Attunement Session?
An Attunement Session clears and releases old, and often inherited, patterns from the body, opening more space for you to access and tune into your true nature.
In a modern fast-paced world with many different demands on us as humans, there exists potential to orient to external perspectives, expectations, and experiences. Over time, there is risk this may cause you to lose sight of your own point of orientation, well-being, and purpose.
An Attunement Session with me is built around an ancient Daoist Alchemy protocol using 13 alchemical points developed by Sun Simiao, who was known as “The King of Medicine” in China. These 13 specific ritual points are designed to free you from entrenched survival patterns, unconscious beliefs that keep you small, and limiting stories you’ve internalized (knowingly or unknowingly). These points are referred to as “Ghost Points”.
An Attunement Session elegantly invites you back into relationship with your own inner light, authenticity, and potential to fulfill your destiny in this life.
What becomes possible:
When these patterns are cleared from your physiology and energetic field, hooks of old stories and beliefs that may have held you for years, or even lifetimes, begin to lose their grip and fall away.
Space opens. Capacity expands. And you can:
While many of my clients feel they are largely misunderstood in their family of origin, and still love their family deeply. The transformation an Attunement Session offers reaches beyond you to your family, community, and the next seven generations.
Attunement Sessions are carefully curated to best serve my clients by bringing rare depth of care and integration to this ancient work.

A Case Study (Hyacinth)
Hyacinth pressed her palm against her solar plexus, feeling that familiar knot of anxiety tighten in the area just beneath her ribcage. Again. She was responding to my question of where she notices the anxiety when it shows up.
A healthcare practitioner with a bustling private practice, Hyacinth had mastered the art of caring for everyone else. As a devoted mother, wife, daughter, and loyal friend, she moved through her days managing high stress like it was just another item on her endless to-do list. Her sense of overwhelm seemed ever present.
And her body was keeping tabs.
For years, stress would literally throw her neck out of alignment—a painful reminder that she couldn’t outrun what she was feeling. We recognized that the pattern of chronic tension in her neck and shoulders that had become a well-known presence, was likely linked to the emotional load she carried.
We’d been working together with Alchemy for a year when Hyacinth noticed something encouraging: she hadn’t thrown her neck out in quite a while. The shoulder tension was easing too. Seemingly small, these shifts made a big difference for Hyacinth in her daily life.
Then life threw her a curveball.
“I felt like there were alarms going off all around me,” Hyacinth described that overwhelming week. The anxiety she thought she’d been managing suddenly escalated into something more frightening.
Her throat would tighten without warning. Her heart would race. Chest pain would grip her, making it hard to breathe. These weren’t just moments of stress—they were panic attacks, striking three times a week with no predictable pattern.
Hyacinth found herself reaching out to both her therapist and her naturopathic physician, desperate for answers. The recommendation was clear: an SSRI medication to help counteract what her Naturopath diagnosed as mini panic attacks.
But Hyacinth wasn’t ready to go that route. Not yet.
“I needed relief,” she told me, “but I wanted to try something else first.”
That’s when she remembered our conversations about the Alchemy Ghost Points. The day-long session we’d discussed as an option for her to consider over the past year. Previously, she’d been hesitant. She wasn’t sure if the Ghost Points were necessary or how the session would really help her.
Now, with panic attacks disrupting her life three times a week and medication on the table, everything felt different.
“I’m ready,” she said as she looked at me from the chair in the corner of my treatment room that particular Wednesday afternoon.
That decision, saying yes to the Ghost Points ceremony (currently the core of an Attunement Session) was about to change the course of her life.
“Anxiety is not there.”
Hyacinth spoke these words with an air of disbelief, as if she couldn’t quite trust what she was experiencing. “Sometimes I wonder what it used to feel like. It’s not there.”
This was Hyacinth speaking in awe after her Ghost Points session. The same Hyacinth who had been experiencing panic attacks three times a week, who had been considering medication, who had lived with chronic tension in her neck and shoulders for years.
But the absence of anxiety was just the beginning.
In the wake of her day-long session, Hyacinth discovered she had a new relationship with talk therapy. Fresh perspectives on her life emerged naturally. And that SSRI medication her naturopath had recommended? Hyacinth determined she no longer needed it.
“I feel so different,” Hyacinth shared. “Everything I was afraid of is the opposite. Things with my husband are much better. And my parents.” Then came the revelation that would reshape how she saw her entire life: “I realize I’ve been caretaking everyone else my whole life.”
What struck Hyacinth most was how the longer Alchemy session had addressed things she thought she’d already taken care of. “I had known these things on the surface level,” she explained, “but I hadn’t realized how much they were woven into everything.”
The transformation ran deeper than symptom relief. Hyacinth described it as a fundamental shift in her internal landscape: “I am forever transformed. I feel like I am living for the first time.”
She began noticing her old patterns with new awareness: “I notice something that used to trigger me, then catch myself. Sometimes I start down the pattern because it’s a reflex, and then realize it’s a wrong turn and stop dead in my tracks.”
Perhaps most profoundly, Hyacinth realized she had been living as someone she wasn’t: “I lived the first 39 years of my life and thought that was who I am, but it’s not who I am.”
Now, with confident awe, she says, “The landscape of my subconscious has changed. I am peaceful inside.”
Everything feels different now. “Sentences that used to spiral me don’t anymore. I am not as fearful of people being sick around me. There’s now a space from which I am watching and observing myself. It’s amazing.”
Where Hyacinth once felt trapped by circumstances and reactions, she now experiences choice and possibility. “Issues that used to feel like I can’t figure them out and I’ll just live with it the rest of my life… they are loosening and instead I’m having ‘aha’ moments.”
And perhaps most importantly, Hyacinth can now ask herself the question that had felt impossible for so long: “What do I want?”
For Hyacinth, things that once felt impossible now feel entirely possible. The difference isn’t just in what she’s experiencing—it’s in who she’s become.
As she keeps on with the Alchemy journey, progressing steadily through the Nine Stages of Alchemy, Hyacinth continues to experience remarkable shifts in her inner world that are being reflected in her outer world.
The message she keeps repeating, Everyone needs to experience the Ghost Points and Alchemy. The world would be so different.
I wholeheartedly agree!
If you’re curious how you might benefit from an Attunement Session (which includes the Ghost Points) and/or the Nine Stages of Alchemy, I invite you to connect with me for an intentional conversation on a Discovery Call.
An Attunement Session offers a profound alchemical clearing and opening. There are two options for how to engage this transformative work with me:
Option 1: Attunement Session 1-Day (USD4000/-)
This is the traditional format of the Daoist Alchemy ritual: a full day (currently averaging 8.5 hours) devoted to the Ghost Points ceremony.
This is for you if:
What’s included:
Option 2: Attunement Session 2-Day Intensive (USD9000/-)
My uniquely designed format that wraps the Ghost Points ceremony in what I’ve noticed is crucial integration support for modern times.
This is for you if:
What’s included:
Day 1: Preparation & Ceremony
Day 2: Integration & Visioning (Highly customized)
During your Discovery Call, we’ll explore:
The right choice depends on where you stand right now, and we’ll find it together.
I’m the first and currently the only certified Ghost Points ceremony facilitator in the Pacific Northwest.
This ancient protocol, developed by Sun Simiao (known as “The King of Medicine” in China), is rarely practiced in this way—and even more rarely practiced with the depth of care and integration I bring to it.
The 2-Day Intensive format is my own design, developed from more than a decade of facilitating ceremony and energetic work. It’s born from careful observation of what creates the most profound, lasting shifts. I’ve found it’s not just about performing the ceremony—it’s about creating the added alchemical conditions positioning you for even greater transformation.
The Ghost Points intensive catalyzes profound transformation—and transformation deepens with support over time.
Many clients continue their journey through:
Are you working with another practitioner? The Ghost Points intensive can powerfully support your existing journey. Whether you’re working with a psychologist, life or business coach, naturopath, acupuncturist, craniosacral therapist, or any other combination that focuses on personal and professional well-being, the Ghost Points can serve you well. We’ll explore what makes sense for you during our Discovery Call.
Not ready for the intensive yet? Some clients begin with ongoing alchemy sessions and build toward Ghost Points when the timing is right. Explore other ways to work together.
I feel grounded, centered, connected to my heart. My mind is calm. I trust everything is unfolding exactly as needed. I’m starting to have new conversations with myself, specifically my heart… allowing my desires, wants, and passions to naturally arise… In the mirror, I see myself differently. I’m able to look into my eyes and see my beauty, my heart, my goodness. I’d say the Ghost Points [ceremony] is working!
