About Alchemy Love Coaching
Who is Anie?
Hi, I'm Anie (“aw-nee”)
I help self-aware, high-performers who feel stuck in their relationships stop repeating the same patterns and transform the way they relate so that real intimacy becomes possible.
After more than a decade as a corporate attorney in venture capital and tech, I know the strengths that get rewarded in high-pressure environments: being composed, being analytical, being self-reliant. Those traits can build a successful career… and they can quietly sabotage closeness.
I’m not speaking theoretically. I’ve lived the shift from “why is love so hard?” to building a conscious, deeply intentional partnership with my husband. What changed wasn’t more insight. It was learning how to show up differently when it mattered.
How I work
My approach is experiential, embodied, and emotionally attuned. That means we don’t just talk about your patterns - we work with them in real time.
In our sessions, we translate what’s happening in your body, your emotions, and your relational reflexes into practical change: how you communicate, take accountability, hold boundaries, repair after conflict, and stay present under pressure.
You can expect:
Direct, grounded coaching that’s clear, not harsh
A shame-resilient container where truth is welcome
Skills that build over time into a new way of relating
Practice that turns insight into real-world change

What is the Somatica Method?
Alchemy Love Coaching is grounded in the Somatica Method, a somatic psychology-based approach that helps you understand - and change - your patterns by working with the mind-body connection.
Traditional talk therapy can be powerful for insight. Somatica adds the missing piece for many people: embodied practice. We work with the physical cues, emotional signals, and nervous system responses that drive your reactions in relationships so change isn’t just something you understand, it becomes something you can do.
Through the Somatica Method, you’ll explore practical tools and gain insights that enhance communication, intimacy, and emotional depth. This method empowers you to understand your needs, communicate openly, and experience lasting change.
