Sacral Alchemy™ Coaching

Nervous System Healing | Somatic Ritual | Archetypal Reinvention

As a Sacral Alchemy™ Coach and somatic practitioner, I guide women through the “Passage of Becoming” – or shedding survival-based identities to return to their bodies and cultivate a deeply felt relationship with their own desires, rhythms, and self-reference.

At the heart of this work is a reorientation toward the feminine as an internal authority: where bodily awareness becomes a lived way of perceiving and choosing (and the nervous system, intuition, and sensual intelligence are brought back into dialogue).

Women who find their way here are accomplished, resourceful, and self-sufficient, but often organize their lives around responsibility, duty, trauma-adaptation, low self-worth, or hypervigilance – spending years orienting outward rather than inward.

While this has made them competent and resilient, it often comes at the cost of lost access to the subtler realms of self: their pleasure, their inner compass, their feminine embodiment, and their voice.

As leaders, caregivers, entrepreneurs, creatives, or stewards of their families, they have learned to anchor their value – and orient themselves in the world – around anticipating and responding to others’ needs. Over time, this can normalize self-sacrifice, over-extension, dysregulation, abuse, lack of boundaries, and self-erasure at the expense of sovereignty, self-trust, or inner direction.

What Is Sacral Alchemy?

Sacral Alchemy™ is the trauma-informed coaching methodology I developed to restore self-trust, emotional capacity, and embodied sovereignty after prolonged self-abandonment.

It supports the reorganization of identity and perception through an experiential blend of somatic work and archetypal role exploration and enactment. It also integrates depth psychology, narrative arts, creative ritual, equine-assisted trauma recovery, mythic storytelling, and a reverent and reciprocal relationship with the living world.

Sacral Alchemy™ is a nervous-system–aware coaching approach rooted in the body and the ancient process of transformation.

It works directly with the psyche and the archetypal patterns that shape how a woman relates to herself, the world, and others—restoring inner authority through embodied change rather than willpower or cognitive insight alone.

The Sacral Chakra is the seat of emotion, desire, pleasure, creativity, sensuality, and relational instinct. It’s where longing is first felt – and where most women learn to override themselves in order to stay connected, chosen, or safe.

Alchemy is the ancient art of transmutation: dissolving what no longer serves, reorganizing what’s held within, and allowing something new to take form.

When these two principles meet – when the sacral becomes the site of alchemy – change becomes embodied and sustainable. The nervous system begins to heal, identity softens around a life that no longer requires self-betrayal, and choice becomes possible again.

Sacral Alchemy™ supports women in:

• transforming survival-based attachment into self-reference
• metabolizing longing, grief, and desire without self-abandonment
• reclaiming pleasure and eros as information, not instability
• restoring inner authority after relational or identity rupture

It’s the foundational methodology beneath The Siren Method™ Course (romantic discernment after mythic connection) and The Priestess Axis™ Workshop (reorientation to inner authority).

Sessions are 60 minutes and held virtually online.

Partnering with horses is an optional extension of this work—one that can deepen and expand the Sacral Alchemy™ process, not a requirement. The coaching relationship itself is alive, powerful, and complete; equine partnership is just one of several possible expressions.

For those interested in equine-assisted healing, completing at least two standalone coaching sessions is required, allowing the foundation of the work to be established first. Additional details are shared further down the page.

All Sacral Alchemy™ sessions may include somatic tracking, archetypal mapping, voice activation, ritualized inquiry, creative movement, relational pattern work, or symbolic integration — depending on what your system is ready to meet.

Sacral Alchemy™ is not clinical therapy. It’s a coaching framework that helps you break survival-based patterns, rewrite inherited roles, and embody a life of sovereign choice.

About Me, Bella Graham

I'm a Sacral Alchemy™ coach, Somatic Developmental Trauma coach, writer–poet, and artist whose work explores feminine consciousness, archetypal identity, and embodied relational intelligence.

I specialize in working with desire, longing, self-abandonment, existential rupture, disillusionment, heartbreak, and threshold experiences—with a woman's relationship to others, and her relationship to self and her own becoming. My work helps metabolize these experiences into pathways of integration, personal power, embodiment, and feminine eros.

I’m deeply attuned to the dark feminine, the subconscious, and the esoteric – and my work is informed by lived experience: surviving pancreatic cancer (diagnosed at just 19 years old), navigating profound identity rupture, early formative experiences of loss and rebuilding; and confronting my own mortality.

I also live with POTS – a chronic, invisible illness and nervous-system disorder – which has deepened my respect for capacity, pacing, and the rhythms of the body.

Years ago, I emerged from my own “Passage of Becoming,” catalyzed by a psychologically destabilizing relationship marked by narcissistic abuse, which fractured my internal orientation and forced a long, disciplined return to self-trust. I rebuilt my life from the inside out, and that reconstruction became part of the foundation of this work.

I teach from initiation, not distance – and I don’t share my experiences to center pain, but to name the terrain this work emerged from. I understand what it is to lose belonging to oneself, and I also understand what it takes to restore it — slowly, somatically, and without bypass.

I completed two years of graduate-level coursework in Marriage and Family Therapy, which grounds the psychological and relational depth of my coaching work (particularly around family systems) — though ultimately, I chose not to pursue degree completion or the path to licensure.

I hold a certificate in Somatic Developmental Trauma, which informed my understanding of early human development – from prenatal life through early childhood – and how implicit body memory, neurobiology, and primordial freeze shape nervous system patterns before conscious memory.

 

My background also includes being a Level 2 graduate of EQUUSOMA, a horse–human trauma recovery framework offered with the permission and licensing approval of the Somatic Experiencing® Trauma Institute, integrating polyvagal theory, attachment repair, and somatic healing within equine–human relational fields.

As a practicing witch, my spiritual practice is rooted in earth-based magick and cyclical attunement—shaped by ritual, the moon and its rhythms; the elements, and a respectful, reciprocal symbiosis with the earth.

By request, and with discernment, I may incorporate a symbolic or ritual-based dimension into sessions, which can include tarot, earth rites or elemental magick; or spellwork.

You do not need to share my spiritual beliefs to work with me. This is not a dogmatic space. It is a space for women who want to reclaim inner authority through the body, the psyche, and the symbolic dimensions of lived experience.

My Approach is Influenced By:

• Somatic Experiencing–informed trauma work and attachment repair
• Equine-assisted trauma recovery
• Drama therapy principles and expressive arts
• Depth psychology and archetypal perspectives
• Feminine embodiment, mythology, shadow integration, and ritual
• Spiritual ecology and reciprocal relationship with the natural world
• Mysticism, the esoteric, and ancestral wisdom

Equine-Assisted Healing

Equine-assisted healing is an optional, somatic pathway within Sacral Alchemy™ – offered as a experiential component of the process.  

Horses uniquely respond to the subtleties of our emotional states – and as co-collaborators (and mirrors), allow us to explore relational patterning in ways that are honest, immediate, and deeply felt.

Sacral Alchemy™ sessions with horses integrate somatic coaching and archetypal role exploration and enactment to support:

• nervous system regulation
• boundary repair
• embodied presence
• relational attunement

Since this offering builds on an established somatic and relational foundation, completing at least two standalone coaching sessions is required to create the necessary grounding first. Sessions are offered at a separate rate from standard Sacral Alchemy™ coaching and involve an additional investment.

Equine-assisted healing sessions may not be appropriate to all clients (due to physical, mobility, or access considerations), or always available. All sessions take place in Southern California and are unmounted—without riding.

Equine-assisted healing within Sacral Alchemy™ is offered as a coaching modality, not as psychotherapy or clinical treatment.

Who Sacral Alchemy™ Is For

Women who are:

• leaders, caregivers, or stewards of families who feel the weight of lives organized around duty rather than desire

• accustomed to always being the one who manages, adapts, or holds things together

• rebuilding self-trust after relational harm or destabilizing dynamics
• navigating dating or partnership, and refining their boundaries and standards

• at a threshold of reinvention, identity change, or creative return

• highly attuned to others, yet disconnected from their own center

• deeply sensitive and perceptive, but lack an embodied sense of self-direction

• intuitive but overwhelmed or mistrustful of their inner signals

• ready to rebuild intimacy with themselves — and from there, with others 

For some women, this work is engaged through questions of love and partnership.

For others, it centers on rebuilding their relationship to desire, identity, or self.

In Sacral Alchemy™, relational work includes romantic, professional, familial, and platonic relationships—as well as the relationship you have with your own body, attention, and inner life. 

This work complements therapy, but it is not clinical treatment. It is designed for women who are resourced enough to reflect, feel, and integrate.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is Sacral Alchemy™ Coaching?

Sacral Alchemy™ is the trauma-informed, somatic, and archetypal coaching methodology I designed to support women through identity reorganization, nervous system repair, and the restoration of self-trust, desire, and inner authority.

This approach engages the body, psyche, and symbolic life to help dissolve survival-based identities and support a more coherent, embodied way of living and choosing. 

 

2. Is This Therapy?

No. Sacral Alchemy™ Coaching is not psychotherapy, clinical treatment, or mental health care. In this work:

• We may explore emotions, lived experiences, and relational patterns
• We work with perception, meaning, embodiment, and choice
• I do not diagnose, treat, or attempt to resolve mental health conditions

This container is designed for women who are resourced enough to reflect, feel, and integrate, and who want depth-oriented support navigating identity change, desire, relational patterns, and self-reference.

If you are currently in acute crisis or need stabilization or ongoing clinical care, this work is best approached alongside therapy, not as a substitute. Read Full Disclaimer.

 
3. What are the Core Elements of Sacral Alchemy™?

Sessions unfold responsively, guided by what your system is ready to engage, and may draw from a range of embodied and symbolic approaches.

• Somatic Nervous System Healing
  Working directly with the nervous system to restore safety, sensation, and responsiveness—so emotion, desire, and perception can move through the body without collapse, urgency, or self-abandonment.

• Archetypal Orientation and Shadow Integration
  Examining survival-based identities and inherited roles (such as the Caregiver, Pleaser, Performer, or Martyr), while learning to consciously access archetypal energies—such as the Siren and the Priestess—as lenses for understanding desire, relational dynamics, thresholds, and choice.

• Expressive Arts, Drama Therapy Principles, and Role Enactment
  Using voice, movement, and guided enactment as conscious practices for exploring identity, relational dynamics, and internal conflict—allowing new orientations to be felt, tested, and integrated in the body rather than analyzed.

• Symbolic and Subconscious Integration
  Working with image, metaphor, ritual inquiry, and symbolic anchoring to support deep shifts in perception and identity—supporting integration that unfolds through felt sense and resonance, not cognition alone.

• Equine-Assisted Healing (optional)
  For some clients, equine work is offered as a complementary extension of Sacral Alchemy™. It is optional, location-dependent, and integrated only after standalone sessions have established the relational and somatic foundation. Further details are shared above.

4. What Kind of Results Can I Expect?

Transformation here is not engineered—it is lived, metabolized, and integrated over time. This work does not promise predetermined results or outcomes.

However, clients often report:

• increased self-trust and internal orientation
• greater nervous system stability and emotional capacity
• clearer boundaries and relational discernment
• restored access to desire, pleasure, and embodied choice
• a felt sense of inner authority rather than urgency or adaptation

Results unfold through integration over time, not performance or willpower. 

 

5. How Long are Sessions and How are They Scheduled?

• Sessions are 60 minutes
• Held virtually via Zoom

Scheduled individually using a private booking link after intake approval. Session frequency is flexible and determined collaboratively based on capacity, intention, and pacing.

6. Are Sessions Recorded?

No. Sessions are not recorded.

Sacral Alchemy™ Coaching is a live, relational, and embodied process. Recording sessions can shift attention into self-monitoring or performance, which works against the depth this work requires.

7. Is this Coaching Confidential and Private?

Yes. All sessions are one-on-one and fully confidential. There are no group components, recordings, or shared spaces.

What is explored in session is held with discretion, respect, and care.

8. What is the Investment?

Sacral Alchemy™ Coaching is $150 per 60-minute session.

Payment is collected at the time of booking, following intake approval. 

9. Do I Need to Complete an Intake before Starting?

Yes. All clients are required to complete a short alignment form before booking.

Afterward, you’ll be invited to a short 10-minute connection call. This ensures:

• the work is appropriate for your current capacity
• expectations and scope are clear
• the container is entered with consent and integrity

If a session is booked without completing the alignment form and call, your payment will be fully refunded. 

10. What is Your Cancellation & Refund Policy?

Since this is a private, high-touch offering, all sales are final and non-refundable.

• Sessions may be rescheduled one time only with at least 72 hours’ notice
• Further rescheduling is not available
• Late cancellations or no-shows result in the session being forfeited
• One courtesy reschedule may be offered in the case of true emergency. This policy protects the depth and integrity of the work

11. How Does this Relate to The Siren Method™ and The Priestess Axis™?

Sacral Alchemy™ is the foundational methodology beneath all my offerings.

• The Priestess Axis™ focuses on restoring inner authority and internal orientation
• The Siren Method™ focuses on romantic patterning, erotic grief, and discernment after mythic connection
• Sacral Alchemy™ Coaching is the most adaptive container, capable of holding layered identity change, nervous system repair, relational dynamics, and long-term integration.

For ongoing, multi-layered, or mid-initiation work, coaching is often the most appropriate home.

12. Can I Book Equine-Assisted Healing Sessions? What are the Requirements and Limitations?

Equine-assisted healing is offered as an optional extension of Sacral Alchemy™ for clients who feel drawn to this modality. It is not a standalone service and cannot be booked independently of coaching.

To be eligible for equine-assisted sessions:

• You must first complete at least two standalone Sacral Alchemy™ coaching sessions
• This establishes the relational, somatic, and symbolic ground necessary for working with horses

Additional considerations:

• Equine-assisted sessions involve an additional investment and are priced separately from standard coaching sessions
• Sessions are location-dependent and currently take place in Southern California
• All work with horses is unmounted and ground-based (no riding)
• Availability may be limited and assessed on a case-by-case basis
• This modality may not be appropriate for all clients due to physical, mobility, or access considerationsIf you’re interested in exploring equine-assisted healing, you can indicate this on your intake form or inquire directly. We’ll determine together whether, when, and how this extension may be appropriate. 

Please Note: If you’re unsure whether Sacral Alchemy™ Coaching is the right fit, you’re welcome to reach out with questions before completing the intake.

Sacral Alchemy™ coaching is not a substitute for therapy. This work is trauma-informed, but it is not clinical treatment. I do not work with acute trauma, active crises, or clinical disorders. If deeper therapeutic support is needed, I can provide referrals to trusted therapists and crisis resources. Read Full Disclaimer.
