Sacred Alchemy Mentor, Psycho-spiritual therapist and Circle facilitator.
I'm Alexia Elliott. Hypnotherapist, shamanic practitioner, and psycho-spiritual therapist. And one of the most unpolished humans you'll meet in this field.
For over 25 years I've supported thousands of people through trauma, transformation, grief, awakening, and soul retrieval. I draw from deep wells clinical hypnosis, Jungian depth psychology, NLP, and shamanic practice. But more than method, what I bring is presence, perception, and permission. I guide people through the messy, mythic, sacred terrain of real change where healing isn't linear, but cyclical and soulful. I offer mentorship, ritual, and real conversation. I'm not here to diagnose you. I'm here to remind you who you are underneath it all.
How I work
I won't be your next guru and I won't promise instant healing. What I will tell you is that I can make things happen. I've spent years doing rapid-change work and I'm adept at it. But my focus now is on the deeper layers, the root systems, the soulful rewiring that leads to lasting transformation rather than temporary relief.
My process is Sacred Alchemy — hypnosis and shamanic practice at its core, woven with elements of NLP and underpinned by Jungian wisdom. It is not a technique or a protocol. It's a living approach that honours both the clinical and the sacred, the psychological and the spiritual, the part of you that wants an explanation and the part that knows something words can't quite reach.
I work in the living space, the now of the moment, where truth lives, breathes, and reveals itself. My sessions are intuitive, improvisational, and relational underpinned by Ericksonian hypnosis, shamanism, and post-Jungian depth work. If you're looking for surface-level tools or tightly scripted techniques, there are plenty of brilliant practitioners working that way. I'm not one of them.
I also studied improvisation through theatrical clowning, and that shaped me more than most of my formal training. Clowning sharpened my presence, deepened my capacity to see what's really there, and taught me how to hold space with visibility, humanity, and humour. That influence is woven through everything I do.
The Amazon and the Andes
My fascination with belief systems and how the inner world shapes reality led me, in 2005, to plant-based shamanism and eventually to the Amazon, where I lived with Shipibo shamans. I've drunk ayahuasca many times. It was liberating, terrifying, wondrous, and life-altering in ways I'm still integrating.
Later I journeyed into the Andean mountains and worked with San Pedro medicine. These landscapes changed me profoundly, not by offering answers, but by deepening the questions. They brought humility, awe, and a different quality of presence into my work that I couldn't have found any other way.
I continue to explore. I'm an eternal student of this craft, and what I do is always evolving, shaped by every story, journey, and cracked-open moment shared with clients, students, and my own ongoing inner work.
Where I've come from
My early years were shaped by trauma, addiction, and hardship. I raised my daughters alone. I've walked through poverty and pain and the kind of darkness that either breaks you or shows you exactly what you're made of.
Those experiences didn't break me. They sharpened my instincts and deepened my compassion. I learned how to survive. I learned how to alchemise pain into power. And it's that has given me more than any training or qualification, that shapes the way I work.
People have described me as a healer, a magician, a guide, even Yoda. I laugh. It's flattering, but the truth is I'm none of those things. I'm a fellow traveller who's been in the dark woods too, and knows how to find the thread of light.
I see the human in front of me, not the symptom or the label. Whatever you're carrying, whatever you're facing — you are not alone.
What I do
I won't fix you. I can't, and I wouldn't want to. But I will help you light your inner fires, find your way back to your own power, and meet yourself fully, maybe for the first time.
We'll look at the maps you've been using and update them, together. We'll laugh, probably cry, dig into what's real, and find joy in places you weren't expecting it.
I'm not here to diagnose you or slot you into a framework. I'm here to walk beside you as you find your way back to yourself. If you're ready for real change, I'm ready to walk with you. Yes i’ll hypnotise you, and/or de-hypnotise you. It’s suggested that all communication is hypnosis.
