Welcome to

Root Alchemy Institute

A place where ancient wisdom and innovative healing methodologies align to create new pathways for healing—within and beyond mainstream health models.

About Us

Root Alchemy Institute (RAI) is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to transforming how health is understood and approached by creating healing systems that integrate indigenous, decolonized, spiritually rooted, and holistic methodologies. We are dedicated to empowering individuals to reclaim sovereignty and agency in their healing journeys.

Our work provides transformational healing and alchemy across various dimensions—mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, energetic, ancestral, metaphysical, and the subconscious—while expanding conventional Western medical approaches to these areas of health. We actualize these goals and more through practitioner trainings, mentorship, direct healing services, educational resources, strategic partnerships, integration, and advocacy work.

We honor ancestral and ancient wisdom alongside innovative healing methodologies and alternative medicines, offering alternative pathways to individuals on their healing journeys as well as practitioners seeking trainings beyond mainstream options. We strive to effect a paradigm shift and establish inclusive, sustainable, and transformational approaches to healing and health.

Our team is a group of aligned and like minded holistic healing practitioners, holistic-centered clinically trained practitioners, spiritual practitioners, teachers , activists and visionaries who feel deep resonance with RAI's mission and broader vision, many of which have been through their own awakening and healing journeys and feel called to contribute to creating new paradigms.

Our Intention

Our intention is to hold space for healing that honors each person’s wholeness and humanity. Rooted in the belief that true transformation is possible, we aim to show that another way exists by providing an alternative for those seeking new approaches, services, learning opportunities, and spaces that resonate on a deeper level.

Our work is fueled by the transformative impact we’ve witnessed in the lives of those we’ve served. In all that we do, we seek to convey the power of alchemy—the ability to transmute any experience and to find purpose within it. We are here to create an environment where individuals feel seen, understood, and empowered to journey through healing in a way that resonates with their entire being.

The Vision

We envision a world where holistic, integrative, indigenous, and decolonized healing practices are seen as the new standard for wellness, embraced within and beyond conventional healthcare. A movement that catalyzes a global shift toward a more holistically minded approach to healing. We see people breaking free from cycles of suffering and limitation, empowered to embrace growth, deep healing and new possibilities while reclaiming their well-being, and awakening to their highest selves.

They are supported by practitioners and systems offering inclusive, solution-oriented, and culturally and spiritually relevant care. We envision accessible alternatives for those whose healing and training needs are not met by mainstream approaches.

Client Experiences with RAI Methodologies

"After engaging in talk therapy to treat depression & anxiety years ago, I was seeking support in healing with a more holistic and spiritual approach and came across Selome’s Healing at the Root program. It's really hard to put into words how the program transformed me, but my journey through Selome's Healing at the Root program has truly been life-changing & helped me to make the biggest personal transformations I've ever experienced! I have healed on the deepest levels and gained tools that now make me feel empowered as life continues. I released self-limiting beliefs and unhealthy fears, developed healthier lifestyle patterns, shifted unhealthy relationship patterns, left a toxic work environment, and healed symptoms of depression and anxiety. I also opened up to a powerful connection with my spirit guides, helping me to make decisions aligned with my inner guidance rather than external considerations. Selome helped me to be clear about my goals and helped me to be accountable to myself and celebrate all of my victories along the way. She was always there to help me think of shifts in behaviors, thinking and practices that felt manageable to me. Through our weekly sessions, I began to understand myself in new and deeper ways. I truly don't have adequate words to explain all of the ways in which Selome's guidance transformed my life."

“I connected with my spirit guides (my ancestors) as part of my sessions and healing work with Selome. I connected with my grandparents and great grandmother. I never met them in the physical world, I actually didn’t know anything about them until I opened up to this work and continued to tap into my ability to connect. During the sessions I could see them and hear them, and they shared their stories with me. They would continue to remind me that I’m protected, safe, and loved on an ongoing basis outside of sessions. When the healing journey got difficult, they would remind me of my power and that I have the strength to keep going and supported me through those moments. And I continue to connect with them through my meditation practice. Forming relationships with my ancestors has been the deepest form of love I have ever experienced.”

"My daughter was struggling with all-consuming depression and anxiety, saw a therapist and psychiatrist for medication but did not appear to be making headway. She did not want to get out of bed. Her depression was all consuming. She would not eat. Her weight loss was alarming. I asked my daughter to speak to Selomé to see what she thought about joining her healing program and she was open to it. During their work together, I saw a transformation of my daughter’s moods. And slowly, the girl I always knew began to emerge. Selomé was so patient as she walked with my daughter through the journey of rediscovering herself so that depression and anxiety did not rule her life. My daughter began to eat regularly again. I began to see the spark in her eyes. Selomé met my daughter where she was at and helped her find herself. There could have been a very different outcome to this story. My daughter continues to use the practices and tools she learned. I am very grateful to Selomé and most of all to God for how he used her to help my daughter."

One participant in the Birth of the Healer Integration Program described the experience as incredibly transformative on many levels. They shared that they shifted from feeling like they were experiencing psychosis to understanding that they were actually undergoing an initiation and awakening to deeper levels. It became clear to them that their visions and abilities are real, and that they are not—and never were—crazy. They expressed that it now feels safe to be themselves. With Selome’s support, they strengthened their gifts and began using them with a confidence they hadn’t felt before. They shared that their channel is more open, their intuition is sharper, and their mediumship abilities feel deeply rooted. They have held space for others in ways they never imagined possible, guiding them through powerful spiritual experiences. They also deepened their connection with their ancestors, realizing that their relationship is reciprocal—not only are their ancestors supporting them, but they are also contributing to their ancestors’ evolution. In a vision, they saw their guides, who once followed behind them, now walking beside them as equals. They described feeling the presence of their spiritual team more tangibly, with their energy clear and undeniably real. Where they once feared fully stepping into their gifts, they shared that they have now released that fear. They expressed that they no longer fear the power they hold but simply trust in it. They also released the fear of being seen, persecution trauma, and self-sabotage.

A Client Success Story - Birth of the Healer Initiation and Integration Program
"My energy healing sessions with Selome have been transformative to say the least! In one of my sessions I experienced Current Life Regression as it took me back to various moments in my childhood where forgotten both happy and traumatic childhood memories came back to me. It was extremely intense because there were so many memories that were buried deep in my subconscious but were coming up to be felt and released. Through Selome’s facilitation, I could feel the sensation of it being pulled out, leaving my body at almost every chakra center, and enabling me to release the stored trauma. As it was leaving my body, I could sense it engulf the space around us. It was such a powerful experience since I had never before felt or witnessed letting go of stored energy that created unconscious pain."

Client from Integrative Energy Healing and Intuitive Counseling Sessions
"During my healing sessions with Selome, I was able to heal and open up to connections with various guides and ancestors. During an ancestral healing session, I found myself shaking quite a bit. I began thinking about my dad and I was hearing a voice. I asked the voice, is this my dad, and it said yes. I started weeping, like sobbing howls, and felt him all around me. I received clear information about why he passed away in the way he did, something I had been specifically seeking for a long time. Then I heard a voice say, there is a cry buried deep deep inside of you, and until you let that cry out, you won't be able to find your voice, and I just started crying deeply. Then my great great grandfather came to me and told me a lot of details about our family lineage that I didn’t know about. And he told me the root of anger in our lineage. I was asking very specific questions and was receiving very specific answers. At some point I began feeling like I was floating on a wave in the ocean and I had the realization that it was my ancestors all supporting me. I asked them about my path and they said I am to do wonders."

"One of the intentions I set during my healing sessions with Selome in the Healing at the Root Program was to heal a recurring cyst that causing me a lot of intense pain and discomfort. The doctors gave me medication but it wasn't helping. We also focused on releasing the emotional roots that the cyst was connected to, which we discovered was me neglecting my own self-care and my people-pleasing pattern. After a couple of sessions, I was amazed to see that the cyst cleared up entirely, the pain disappeared, and the inflammation went away! The wound that the cyst created had healed fully, and I felt completely free of this issue that seemed to be unending before. It was also fascinating because I began to notice that my tendency to people please was actually changing too. Selome also gave me some specific tools and practices to do to be able to say no to people more easily. Its so incredible to see the power of this work!"

Client describing experience during Integrative Energy Healing & Intuitive Counseling Sessions
“It's been just over a year since I finished Selome's Healing at the Root program. My mental and spiritual health is better than it has ever been during my 31 years in this life. I found Selome through a podcast interview. I was drawn to speak with her and decided to commit to the Healing at the Root program after I remembered traumatic memories that added to the pain I felt from a lifetime of abuse from loved ones and myself. I had tried talk therapy but wanted to get to the root of my mental health challenges and understand my life from a whole perspective. Selome's work changed my life. Through her energy work, counseling, lessons and practices, I discovered worlds within and around myself. I grew my connections with ancestors and guides. I also grew a connection with my younger self. With Selome, I learned how to embrace my inconsistencies and love myself in new ways. I'm deeply grateful for the wisdom she shares. Selome taught me that I am always capable of healing myself and showing others they can do the same. After Healing at the Root, I'm in touch with my courage and intuition. I accept the parts of myself that used to bring me shame and embarrassment. I'm creating a beautiful life. Selome gave me the tools I need to continually grow through spiritual exploration and personal accountability. I cherish the gifts and blessings she shares with the world."

Client from Healing at the Root Mental Health Holistic Healing Program
"During one of my ancestral sessions, my father came through with a powerful and comforting message. He shared his experience of what happened after he passed, describing it in a way that brought me immense peace and clarity. I heard him say “When you guys are on earth, mourning our loss, you’re wearing black. But on this side, when we cross over and are welcomed, we’re all wearing white, and we’re happy. When we get here, it’s really nice, bright, and light.” Hearing this felt like a gift. He reassured me that the journey to the other side is beautiful and full of joy, even though the process of letting go can feel scary and hard. This message gave me a new perspective on grief and helped me feel more at peace with his passing. Knowing that he was happy, surrounded by light, and in a place of joy on the other side eased so much of the heaviness I had been carrying. It was incredibly comforting to know that he was okay, and it has been a profound step in my healing process. In another session I connected with my father’s energy and was also able to release some guilt connected to him. In the session he expressed pride and gratitude for everything I had done for him in his final days. This was deeply healing, as I had been holding onto guilt for not doing enough. The healing and counseling sessions helped me release this weight and find peace in my relationship with his memory."

"Working with Selome in Healing at the Root has been one of the biggest transformations I have yet to experience! I stopped talking to my therapist and uncovered some things immediately once I started Healing at the Root that I had been trying to uncover with her; this work helped me heal intergenerational trauma within myself and unlocked my ability to conduct ancestral and intergenerational healing. I also had excessive intrusive violent thoughts that I could not or did not think I could control for two years. My work with Selome revealed to me that I empathically took on energies that were not mine and I diligently worked to rid these energies with Selome’s healing support and guidance along with committing to daily practices. I learned that these thoughts were connected to ancestral/lineage healing around sexual trauma. I used to think I was crazy but feel so much better now and feel as if I have taken control of my mind again! I also worked to rid low self-esteem and low confidence, and center my own care and love. These processes also helped me cast down fears and negative thought patterns that were debilitating. I now feel comfortable and free, and feel as though I'm getting to live my best life. Working with Selome also allowed me to see the ways in which I can produce changes in my environment, relationships, and habits that lead to a greater sense of being emotionally, spiritually, physically. It also provided me with practices that affirmed my experiences leading me to have greater self-confidence and direction."

"In one of my energy healing sessions, my mom’s anxiety that I had been holding surfaced and activated in my body, and I saw very clearly where I had been holding her suffering. During the session I felt it leave my body very clearly. The experience afterward left me feeling free. Through the tools I’ve gained with Selome, I’m now able to extract stored energy that has weighed me down and for that, I am so grateful!"

Client from Integrative Energy Healing & Intuitive Counseling Sessions
One participant in the Healing at the Root program shared that the experience profoundly transformed their life. Through this work, they have let go of the diagnosis of ADHD and now embrace that they are a different kind of person on this earth—someone whose mind works in unique and nonlinear ways. What once felt like a limitation no longer defines them. They recalled a time when a doctor told them their life wouldn’t improve, yet now they feel more confident than ever. One of the most profound transformations they experienced is that the suicidal thoughts they once had are gone. In their place, they now feel hope, gratitude, and a deep understanding of the spiritual crisis they had been experiencing. They also released the voices and beliefs of others—including those shaped by society and culture—that they had once carried as their own. They reflected on how they used to believe that healing wasn’t possible for them, but through this work, they have witnessed firsthand that not only is healing possible, but it is actively happening. They also shared that they were once skeptical of anything spiritual, and the idea of a higher power felt distant. However, in working with Selome, they began to see and feel a connection to something greater. They now feel supported, guided, and no longer alone on this journey. By surrendering to the process, they shared that they have witnessed profound shifts unfold—unexpected, beautiful, and perfectly timed in ways they never could have planned. This journey has taught them that healing isn’t just about patching wounds or mending what feels broken, but rather a return to wholeness—a reclamation of the self that had been forgotten or lost along the way.

A Client Success Story
"I reached out to Selome because I was feeling called to do ancestral healing work and develop a connection with a spirit guide. When we started, the spirit guide who came through in my sessions pretty quickly was my maternal grandmother—feeling her presence with me, hearing messages from her during sessions and afterwards, noticing her sending me signs here and there, and just feeling a connection to something higher than myself. I also see my grandmother in my dreams now, and see and feel her when I partake in my practices like yoga or meditation. I was shocked at how straightforward it was! I remember in one of the sessions I heard her say “I’m looking for a place to land” and we discovered that was her way of telling me to create an altar so we can connect there. Anytime I felt like I was struggling, I felt her energy and I felt suddenly stronger, emboldened, connected. And then I thought, since my grandmother had passed away and transitioned into being a spirit guide, maybe my dad would be the same for me. And in working with Selome, I realized that I don’t necessarily have to connect with the spirit of my father in the same way but that he could be a healing point, and not necessarily a spirit guide. And during our sessions I was able to let go of a lot of the resentment, anger, frustration, and hatred that I felt towards him. And it felt lighter, I felt like I wasn’t energetically carrying all of those hurt feelings from childhood anymore, and was able to let him be in his own humanity as a spirit. It felt powerful to forge this kind of connection with him that was more of a connection through forgiveness."

"Working with Selome was the best decision I ever made! The Healing at the Root program changed my life. I came into it storing a lot of pain, trauma, and anxiety. There came a point where I noticed that I was letting go of things that used to torment me. I felt free from those mental traps. My anxiety, which used to be debilitating at times, no longer is present. I watched as things that I thought would never change were released and transmuted into love, compassion, gratitude, joy, and peace. I needed to get to the root of where all this pain was stored in order to free myself from it, which I was able to tangibly experience in many of the healing sessions. I had to go deep and extract memories that hurt. I came face to face with abandonment, anxiety, attachment, fear, and my people-pleasing tendencies.What I realized though is in order for things to be released and transmuted, they must be experienced and felt. When Selome and I did our review of my healing plan at the end of the program, I was amazed at how every intention I set came true and that everything that I wanted to release and transmute happened for me. I realized how powerful and magical this work is. When things come up (though very infrequently now), I have the tools to deal with them from a place of presence and love, and practices and new habits that help keep me feeling balanced. Working with Selome changed the course of my whole life. She guided me towards sovereignty and peace and I am so deeply grateful for her."

Client from Healing at the Root Holistic Mental Health Program
"While Selome was treating me, I felt various sensations throughout my body and felt as if my spirit was being elevated. I had an "out of body" experience. During the session I began to feel movement in my nasal and sinus area; it felt as if something was being pulled out. After the session ended I woke up out of my calm state and burst into tears. I felt as if I had released some heavy emotional weight that I was carrying and felt very cleared up; I felt a certain lightness after the session. But the best part is that the next day, for the first time in years, I didn't have to take my allergy medication! The movement I was feeling in my nasal area was apparently clearing up my allergies! But also felt an overall sense of clarity and release in general, as well as emotionally."

Client from Integrative Energy Healing & Intuitive Counseling Session
"Many years ago I had gone into a shell, and stopped being outgoing, talkative, and happy; something had silenced me, but I wasn’t sure what it was or how it happened. I had blocked out the experience that caused me to move through the world this way. My intention for coming to do reiki with Selome was to return to my old self, but I wasn’t sure how. During my session, I had what I can only describe as an out of body experience and I traveled back to a time many years ago and was immediately in this specific time and home I used to live in. I was back in the home and time period where the silencing had occurred and suddenly remembered everything. I started to re-experience some painful things that had happened back then that I had deeply suppressed; the memories came back to me so clearly into my mind. I felt like I was clearing the pain that caused me to silence myself and lose my ability to connect with others in a way I once did. I was experiencing a lot of the old emotions and then felt a sense of release of the buried trauma. "

Client from Integrative Energy Healing & Intuitive Counseling Session
“My work with Selome completely transformed my relationship with anxiety. For many years, anxiety felt like an integral part of my existence, something I had to live with and accept. It would creep up on me unexpectedly, leaving me feeling debilitated and overwhelmed. Through my work with Selome, not only did my understanding of anxiety fundamentally change, but I experienced it no longer being present in my life. One of the first things Selome taught me was how to reframe my perception of anxiety. She helped me realize that I am not my anxiety, that I don't "have" anxiety, I am merely experiencing anxious energy at times. This simple separation and reframing created a space between me and the anxiety, allowing me to see myself as a sovereign being who experiences different emotions without being defined by them!"

Client from Healing at the Root Holistic Mental Health Program
“My energy healing and intuitive counseling session with Selome felt like an exorcism! I felt some kneading and pulling. I felt a knot rolling around in my womb and sacral chakra. It felt heavy. Then I became overwhelmed with grief and sorrow. I was trying to fight it because it wasn’t comfortable. I didn’t want to let go of whatever was moving inside of me. I was fighting back tears and I started trembling. I couldn’t believe how all of a sudden I was feeling so heavy with pain. I knew what was coming up was old pain I was carrying from childhood, but I intuitively knew it wasn’t all mine, I could feel that it was my parents and ancestors pain that I had been holding too. I focused on my breathing, exhaled slowly and more tears came. It was intense but I knew I had to let go of what I had been holding. I felt an ancestor (my mom’s spirit) come in and support me through it. I felt hot all over my body. Then I felt something being pulled out of me. I could feel it was deep buried old pain and trauma coming out. And then I felt relief. I felt high, tired and drained but I felt a lightness in my womb. I never knew I could feel so light and open! In the beginning I also felt on my crown chakra a very airy and euphoric feeling. It felt like a shower for my brain."

Client from Integrative Energy Healing & Intuitive Counseling Session
At the start of the Birth of the Healer Integration Program, this client carried a profound sensitivity to the energies around them and a deep desire to step into their spiritual gifts with grace and confidence. After going through this process, they experienced a transformation beyond what they thought was possible. They now feel bolder and stronger as a channel, trusting their ability to return safely to themselves after traveling to the spiritual dimensions. They expressed deep gratitude for the guides who became clearer during their time in the program and shared that they have developed a deeper relationship with those who had already been present. They also reflected on how they transmuted feelings of being so-called 'crazy' into normalizing and embodying their abilities with a sense of pride. Through this work, they embraced their gifts and began to have fun with them, feeling truly great about embodying their abilities fully and celebrating the journey. Additionally, they were able to heal religious trauma, fears, and programming related to their identity as a spiritual being and channel. They no longer feel fear around spirit or connecting with the spirit realm. They expressed that this work has truly changed the trajectory of their path."

A Client Success Story - Birth of the Healer Integration & Initiation Program
"At the time of our session, I was at a major time of transition and uncertainty in my life. I left the session feeling the deepest sense of peace and trust that everything was working itself out exactly as it needed to. The impact was much more clear and palatable than I had imagined it would be! During the experience and afterwards, it was like I had fully embodied my highest self here on earth, and experienced my own profound wisdom."

Integrative Energy Healing Session
"One client who participated in the Healing at the Root program set multiple intentions for their healing journey, including releasing their addiction to alcohol and developing self-control and a more disciplined relationship with it They recognized that their connection to alcohol was more than just a habit—it carried deeper energetic imprints that needed to be cleared and realigned. Through guided energy work, intuitive coaching, and integration work within the program, they were able to uncover and release the subconscious patterns fueling their dependence. As their healing journey unfolded, they experienced a profound shift—not only in their behaviors but in their understanding of their relationship with alcohol. Now, they share that their experience with alcohol has completely transformed. They no longer feel controlled by it or consumed by the urge to drink. "It’s much better. I don’t have an addiction anymore—I don’t have to have it," they affirmed. They have reached a place where they drink occasionally with full awareness and choice, rather than compulsion."

Client from Healing at the Root Program
"As the session began, I felt an intense release—it was as if all these things related to medical treatments and diagnoses were being pulled out of my body. I could feel myself becoming lighter, emotionally and physically happier, more balanced. At one point, I sensed something metallic around my neck and had visions of standing in a field, with a dense forest on one side. I felt a energy shift occur, and felt things lifting from my heart and back, as if burdens were dissolving. My head and heart realigned and I started feeling clarity and wholeness. I could also feel a dense energy releasing from the right side of my head, something that had been interfering without me even realizing it. Then a thick black tar-like substance started moving out of my ears and jaw. I intuitively knew it was all the sickness I’d carried, the medications, the things that no longer served me, the ways I had been playing small. I could actually feel them leaving my body. I started to experience my breath and energy leaving my body—it was disorienting, like I was suffocating. But I realized this was fear leaving me. I brought my breath back, reclaimed my energy, and for the first time, I could hear my own voice. There was a moment where I felt completely out of control, like something else was pulling at me. I felt some anxiety surface and something was trying to leave my stomach and I couldn’t control what it was. I felt an intense opening in my skull—the two hemispheres of my mind swirling upward and outward into space. And then, I felt some old programming, deep-seated beliefs and thought patterns leaving my head."
