Hands On Nervous System Care For Chronic Stress & Physical Tension
Work With Me
When Stress Stays in the Body
Many people who come to see me look like they are coping well. They work, carry responsibilities, support others, and keep moving through life. But their body tells a different story.
The shoulders stay tight most of the time. The neck and upper back hold tension that never quite goes away. Sleep comes, but it does not fully restore energy. After a while, this level of tension starts to feel normal.
The body stays slightly tense, the nervous system remains on constant alert and even when life slows down, the body does not fully switch off. This is usually the moment people begin looking for support. And this is where the work begins.
Over the years I have seen how much stress the body can carry, and how quickly things begin to shift once the nervous system finally feels safe enough to let go. I work with people navigating chronic stress, fatigue, emotional overload, and the kind of nervous system dysregulation that does not shift with rest alone.
Through therapeutic bodywork, breath regulation, sound resonance, and carefully selected essential oils, the session supports your body in shifting out of survival mode and back toward regulation. Rather than forcing relaxation, we listen to what your nervous system is communicating.
What I Help With
Most people initially come because their body feels tense or uncomfortable. Common reasons clients book include:
Chronic neck or shoulder tension
Persistent muscular pain or stiffness
Burnout and nervous system fatigue
Difficulty relaxing or switching off
Stress that stays in the body even after rest
For many people, the physical tension is only the surface. As the body begins to release, deeper emotional pressure often settles as well.
Nervous System Reset

120 min session
Why This Work
Modern life rewards endurance but rarely teaches the body how to recover from stress. Over time the nervous system can become stuck in a constant state of alert. Even when life slows down, the body remains tense, the mind keeps running, and true rest becomes difficult.
This session creates the conditions for your nervous system to settle biologically, not just mentally. Many clients describe the experience as the first time their body has fully relaxed in months.
What happens in the session
Drawing on over 13 years of hands on experience working with the body and nervous system.
We begin with a short consultation and a Zyto Balance Scan. This is a non invasive stress response reading based on galvanic skin response. It helps highlight which systems in the body are currently under the most strain and guides the selection of oils and protocols used during the session.
The session may include:
Therapeutic bodywork
Targeted massage techniques supporting muscular, immune, lymphatic, and neurological systems.
Breath regulation
Guided breathing exercises that help shift the body toward parasympathetic recovery.
Sound resonance
Tuning forks, chimes, and crystal bowls used to encourage deep relaxation and nervous system settling.
Aromatherapy
Certified therapeutic grade essential oils selected through the Zyto Balance Scan to support your system on the day.
Together these elements support vagal tone, circulation, emotional settling, and a deep sense of internal release. Many clients describe the effect as a biological exhale.
What Clients Often Notice After a Session
Looser shoulders and deeper breathing
A calmer, quieter mind
Improved sleep the same night
A sense of emotional grounding and feeling more present and at ease in the body. Each person responds differently, but many clients report noticeable relief from the tension they arrived with.
Nervous System Reset Series
For many people, a single session brings noticeable relief. However, when the body has been carrying stress for a long time, deeper change often happens through consistency.
The Nervous System Reset Series is designed as a short progression of four sessions. Each session builds on the previous one, allowing the body to gradually release accumulated tension while the nervous system begins to relearn what safety and regulation feel like.
Clients often choose this option when they want to move beyond temporary relief and support their body in establishing a more stable baseline of calm and recovery
4 Sessions — £780
For best results, sessions are typically spaced weekly or fortnightly, allowing the work to unfold over approximately 4–6 weeks. Sessions remain valid for 3 months to allow flexibility in scheduling. You can choose the series option directly when booking.
Client Experiences
Many clients describe the session as a full nervous system reset.
This isn’t your regular massage, this is a deep transformation and release on several planes of consciousness! Alina has showed up on my path once I had gone through a very deep trauma release processes opened during Ayahuasca and San Pedro retreat. She was recommended to me by no one else but my Ayahuasca Shaman and mentor, to not only help to integrate the work that I have done on an energetic level but also bring it into the body and allow to settle whatever needed settling and release whatever needed to go. Alina made me feel so welcomed and safe as soon as I walked in. She not only listened to my stories but also was able to made me feel seen by sharing some of her experiences. This allowed me to immediately relax deeper. My main focus was to work on releasing trauma from my womb and stuck energy from my throat, which felt like a literal muzzle! Alina firstly taught me a different breathing technique. If you knew how to breath, I can tell you straight away you didn’t! I always struggled with shortness of breath and not enough oxygen hitting my lower organs (intestines or womb). After being taught this breathing technique, my chest started opening! During the session, this same new breathe has helped my body respond amazingly to the work Alina was doing. I finally felt oxygen and energy reaching ALL of my lower organs. I can’t even truly put into words how magical this session was! From the blend of organic and natural essential oils which stimulated the organs and relaxed the mind and energy, to tuning forks on pressure points and sound therapy. All these elements blended into the session really allowed my body to integrate all the energetic work I have been doing but also worked on my physical body. Alina has stimulated my lungs, released tension from my wrists, and helped to stimulate the whole lymphatic drainage, along with kidneys and not to forget the womb!! She had brought the calmness and love into my womb! A feeling I was never fortunate to have growing up, finally was welcomed! Whether you have a physical, spiritual or energetic concern, with a hand on my heart I can say that Alina is your girl! I have worked with a lot of mentors and therapists, but never came across someone so knowledgable and experienced but also very loving, warm and kind like Alina. I could not thank her enough for how amazing and relaxed I feel after her magic work! Sending you all lots of love and light, and so much gratitude to this beautiful soul, my dear Alina xxx

I had an incredible experience at Soul Spa Alchemy. I went in with ongoing neck pain, and I was amazed that the pain was gone and my neck felt significantly more flexible immediately after the session. What really sets Alina’s treatments apart is her extensive body knowledge combined with the amazing Doterra oil blends she uses. She is incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and professional, making the whole session feel like a personalized nervous system reset. I felt held, safe, and truly in good, healing hands throughout the entire time. I highly recommend Soul Spa Alchemy for anyone looking for more than just a physical massage; she truly addresses the body, mind, and spirit. I left feeling completely restored and filled with positive energy. I will definitely be returning!

One of the most profound experiences I've had in a long time. I arrived to Alina's session carrying months of tension I didn't even realise had built up — that particular kind of exhaustion where you're tired but can't switch off. From the moment I walked in, something about the space invited my body to start letting go. Alina has a rare quality — she listens not just with her ears but with her hands, her presence, her whole attention. She didn't just apply a treatment; she responded to what my body actually needed in that moment. The combination of touch, breath, sound, and the carefully selected oils worked in a way that felt both grounded and deeply restorative. By the end, I felt heavier in the best possible way — like gravity had finally been allowed to do its job. Calmer, clearer, and genuinely more at home in my own skin. If you've been carrying more than you realise, or if rest has started to feel like something that happens to other people — this is for you. Alina doesn't just offer a treatment. She offers a return to yourself.

Somatic Integration Immersion
This session is designed for people who feel ready to explore a deeper layer of their experience through the body.
While the Nervous System Reset focuses primarily on releasing physical tension and calming the nervous system, this immersion allows us to work with the emotional patterns that often sit underneath long-term stress.
Many people reach a point where physical tension is only part of the picture. Underneath there may be grief, life transitions, emotional pressure, or a sense of being stuck in the same internal loop.
This session creates a slower, more spacious environment where body awareness, emotion, and reflection can come together. Instead of analysing the mind, we listen to how experience lives in the body.
What We May Work With
Before the session you are invited to identify one area of life that feels most present right now.
For example:
• A life transition or period of uncertainty
• Emotional patterns that feel difficult to move through
• A sense of being disconnected from your body or inner direction
• Grief, frustration, or emotional fatigue
• Feeling overwhelmed by responsibility or internal pressure
You do not need to have clear answers beforehand. The session helps reveal what your body is already holding. Many clients arrive simply knowing that something in their life feels unresolved or emotionally heavy. The session helps bring awareness to how that experience is held in the body.
What Happens During the Session
Each immersion follows a gentle structure but is guided by your system on the day. The session may include:
Initial conversation and intention setting
A short discussion to understand what feels most alive for you right now.
Somatic bodywork and nervous system regulation
Hands-on work to help the body release held tension and settle into safety.
Breath and body awareness practices
Simple guided techniques that help reconnect attention to the body.
Sound resonance
Tuning forks or crystal bowls used to deepen relaxation and internal awareness.
Reflective space
Moments of quiet integration where we notice what your body communicates.
Some sessions may also include gentle sensory or ritual elements that support grounding and presence. These are always optional and discussed beforehand.
Somatic Integration Immersion
£395
Per Session. By Application
What this session is
An introduction to somatic immersion and plant assisted body listening. This immersive session combines therapeutic touch, nervous system regulation, and body awareness to create a space where physical sensation, emotion, and reflection can meet.
Slower and more spacious than a standard session, it allows the body time to process experiences that often remain held beneath everyday stress.
This session is not:
This session does not guarantee a specific breakthrough or outcome.
It is not a substitute for medical care or psychological treatment.
It is also not a large plant ceremony or a quick relaxation massage.
People respond to this work in different ways. Some leave feeling lighter and clearer. Others may feel tired, emotional, or more reflective for a short period as the body processes what has shifted.
All responses are welcome and we move at a pace that feels safe for your system. You are free to pause, slow down, or stop at any point during the session.
Availability and screening
Because of the depth of this work, sessions are limited and by application only.
After you register interest, you’ll receive a short screening form so we can make sure this is the right timing and format for your system.
This Work May Not Be Appropriate If
You are currently experiencing acute psychological distress and require stabilisation or crisis support
You are seeking medical diagnosis, treatment, or clinical intervention
You are looking solely for a short, relaxation only massage
All clients complete an intake form prior to booking. This allows the work to remain safe, appropriate, and aligned for both of us. If there is any uncertainty, suitability is reviewed before the session proceeds.
If you’re unsure whether this session is right for you, you’re welcome to get in touch before booking.
