A Tireless Journey to Healing

I'm Sonia, the owner & founder of The Radiant Alchemist. Some years ago, I was experiencing a myriad of symptoms that were impacting my everyday life and making me ill. The symptoms changed almost daily, but one thing remained, I was sick and quickly slapped with a diagnosis of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. I was determined to figure out what it was, how to get better, how to proceed with life as normally as possible, and the most prominent question... if I ignore it, will it go away? Well, the simple answer is NO!

I dedicated myself to learning, dove into several books and online forums, dedicated to dissecting autoimmune disease health and root cause, following professionals that knew more about this disease than I did. I was under the care of a naturopathic doctor and functional practitioner that worked together. Having practiced as a Registered Nurse did NOT prepare me for being a patient. 

I started from scratch, resetting my body and healing from within. I changed my diet and followed the Autoimmune Protocol until I was able to add additional foods, without reaction. I tuned INTO my body and listened to what it needed. One big trigger for autoimmune disease is STRESS, who knew? So, I started practicing more self-care in the form of prayer, meditation, dancing, therapeutic baths, changing my mindset. It has been an ever-evolving journey, and I am thankful for every piece of it.

Part of this journey in removing hormone-disrupting chemicals from my body also included lotions, shampoos, face products, sunscreens...the list goes on forever! I started experimenting with different products at home, testing, blending, adding a drop of this essential oil, then a dash of more luxury oils... I wanted it all and dove deep into studying safe skincare practices.

I noticed many women didn’t have the information at their fingertips to make informed decisions without feeling overwhelmed, so I started sharing tips and samples of products I made. Then I thought, why not make and sell the products, teach women about the importance of health and sacred bodies, and how we need to love this body we were given. So, it is a package deal - we have natural products and healing sessions. Women are sacred and beautifully made. Let us take back that time and realize the importance of caring for this one body we were given, healing from the inside out.

Sending blessings & healing,

Sonia
