Erin is a Reiki Master Teacher, Somatic Hypnotherapist, Shamanic Practitioner, Astrologer, Tarot Scholar, Qi Gong and Meditation Facilitator and the creator of Inner Alchemy, an online learning community devoted to self-awareness and healing. She is also the author of Intro to Tarot and Intro to Astrology. Her work centers on helping people understand the stories they are living, release what no longer serves them, and transform awareness into lasting change.
​
Marcel is a Certified Master Hypnotherapist, Sound Healing Practitioner and Tarot Reader. He is also the lead instructor for the New England Institute of Hypnosis (NEIH), a Hypnosis Certification Program hosted at The Blackbird House, where he teaches aspiring practitioners the art and science of hypnosis with a focus on ethics, confidence, and practical application. Through hypnosis, sound healing, Reiki, and intuitive guidance, Marcel helps individuals move beyond limiting patterns and reconnect with their own inner wisdom.
​
Together, Erin and Marcel believe that healing is not about fixing what is broken, but remembering the wholeness that has always existed within. Whether through private sessions, certification programs, classes, retreats, or community events, their mission is to provide practical tools that inspire growth, resilience, and transformation.
