Hi, it’s nice to meet you!
Welcome — I’m Cynthia
Founder of The Alchemy Maiden: Sacred & Skeptical
After decades of trying to “fix” myself through every self-help method and spiritual shortcut, I realized what I truly needed wasn’t more glow-up rituals or high-vibe affirmations — it was honesty, depth, and real guidance for where I was in my life.
I created The Alchemy Maiden as a space for women 40+ who are done with toxic positivity and tired of performative healing. Here, we explore what it means to heal with discernment, reinvent with integrity, and build soulful lives and businesses that actually feel aligned — not curated.
With certifications in life coaching, energy healing, crystal therapy, mindfulness, and more — and a background in business and security — I offer a grounded, holistic approach that blends spiritual insight with practical strategy. Whether you’re navigating a transition, launching a side business, or simply trying to reconnect with yourself, you’re not alone.
This work is for the quietly powerful, the deeply curious, and the women who’ve outgrown quick fixes.
Welcome to the sacred and the skeptical — where we ask better questions, trust our intuition, and come home to ourselves.
Cynthia
Where the magic happens
This is the space where sacred meets skeptical—where real transformation unfolds, far from the sparkle of surface-level fixes. Here’s where I blend coaching calls, honest essays, and gentle practices into an alchemy of healing and reinvention:
- Coaching Sessions: One-on-one guidance rooted in your lived experience, not another guru’s script.
- Substack Letters: Weekly reflections that peel back the hype and offer tools you can actually use.
- Real Rituals™: Bite-sized, nervous-system–friendly practices you’ll weave into your everyday life.
- Soul-Led Business Support: Ethical frameworks and strategy for women 40+ building aligned side gigs or next-act careers.
Step in, take a breath, and let your next chapter write itself—layer by layer, question by question, with both heart and clarity.
