Fluent,
I would love to live
Like a river flows,
Carried by the surprise
Of its own unfolding
-John O’Donohue
Welcome to Alchemy.
A place to return to the rhythms of your own becoming.
My approach
Healing begins with presence.
It’s an honour to be holding your attention in this moment.
I’m Rachael Spyker, and I offer a depth-oriented, relational approach to trauma healing. In the sacred vessel of the therapeutic relationship, I support the psyche’s natural movement toward wholeness.
My work is grounded in depth psychology and somatic wisdom, drawing from modalities such as Psychedelic Somatic Interactional Psychotherapy (PSIP), Internal Family Systems (IFS), AEDP, and EMDR—approached not as techniques, but as pathways for the soul’s unfolding.
I don’t see symptoms as something to pathologize.
I see them as intelligent responses to pain.
When we are left alone in overwhelming emotional experiences, our systems adapt—creating protective strategies that help us survive. These defenses are not wrong. They are brilliant. But over time, they can become barriers to connection, vitality, and truth.
My clinical practice is guided by the belief that we are innately wired for healing. In a space of safety, resonance, and attunement, those protective layers begin to soften. Not through force, but through relationship.
Together, we co-create a space where the body leads. Where stories take a back seat to sensation. Where emotional truths—once too much to feel—are met gently, in real time. Through this somatic and relational process, transformation unfolds organically. This is not theoretical. It’s lived, in the tissues.
We are not wounded in isolation, and we do not heal in isolation.
In the sacred space of the therapeutic relationship, I offer presence, curiosity, and attunement. From here, something new can emerge—your own Self, remembered and restored.
