I’m Anne, the founder of Ahe Is Alchemystic.

For much of my life, I lived disconnected from myself. I was highly attuned to other people, often prioritising harmony over my own needs. Anxiety was familiar, and my sense of worth and direction felt fragile beneath the surface.

I coped by staying busy and seeking intensity — mistaking stimulation for aliveness and escape for freedom. These patterns helped me function for years, but they also made it easier to doubt my instincts.

I found myself in an abusive and toxic relationship that moved very quickly. The connection was intense and full of promise, and we became engaged early on. Over time, the dynamic became emotionally unsafe. Arguments, blame, and silence became normal, and I was constantly walking on eggshells, questioning myself despite having experienced healthy relationships before.

My body began to break down. I couldn’t sleep or eat properly, lost a significant amount of weight, and lived in a constant state of panic. I was in and out of hospital with heart issues while telling myself I was coping.

During this time, I turned to alcohol as a way to survive — not to escape life, but to quiet my nervous system enough to get through each day.

When the relationship ended, I was left depleted and disconnected, unsure how to feel safe in my own body again.

Healing began when I stopped doubting myself and started listening to my body.

Through holistic and embodied practices — nervous system regulation, nourishment, ritual, movement, rest, travel, and steady daily routines — I slowly rebuilt safety and trust. Over time, my sense of worth stabilised, purpose became clearer, and joy returned quietly through presence and feeling at home in my body again.

This is why I do this work.

I support people who have lived through abuse, toxic relationships, anxiety, people-pleasing patterns, and survival-mode coping, and who are ready to heal in a way that is grounded, compassionate, and body-led.

 You are not broken.

Your body was responding to something real.
