The process of healing is alchemical and so is the creative process. There are layers to bothphysical, metaphysical, and metaphorical. Both the artistic process and any level of healing require creative noticing. Jean-nine Wiests The Alchemy of Self Healing will gently help you understand the value of creative noticing to all aspects of life.

When I began to read Jeannines book I was struck by her courageous, creative spirit. The Alchemy of Self Healing is a powerful read. Each page is filled with wisdom, stories, exercises, and creative ideas to help the reader become aware of their own healing power. This is my kind of book...instructive and empowering.

For most people seeking personal growth and transformation, the road to wellness is confusing and the destination unclear. Oftentimes, a road-map and a picture of an end goal is what is most needed to make the struggles worth it. The Alchemy of Self Healing is such a road map. By synthesizing diverse mind/body modalities and providing a concrete path of using them, Jeannine Wiest has built a usable and accessible tool for you to begin crafting a new relationship with your body, creativity, awareness, and presence.

Cranial Alchemy is the system of tools to cultivate healing and change the concerns most fundamental to us all. Jeannine Wiest helps us return to our inner nature and inner nurture. Make sure you take the time to discover all The Alchemy of Self Healing has to offer.

The Alchemy of Self Healing guides you to get in touch with your body and your creativity. As a Craniosacral Therapy diplomate I think this makes the book a wonderful resource for people who would like to increase the benefits of receiving bodywork such as Craniosacral Therapy. Jeannine draws on her own personal and professional journey, which includes her years as an advanced Craniosacral Therapist, to provide you with tools to create your own personal alchemy.

The Alchemy of Self Healing is a true gem filled with transformational opportunities for the reader. I plan to introduce it as suggested reading for my Cellular Yoga classes.

Dr. Diane Sandler, OMD, LAc, CST- D

The Alchemy of Self Healing places itself at the forefront of change. The paradigm shift that is occurring across all healing modalities offers the shift in perspective from effecting change for ourselves in our lives by promises and protocols to the awareness of our relationship to our self, environment and worldview It is the act of noticing, witnessing and being with our more hidden and unlikeable aspects with an attitude of gentle curiosity, wonder, humor and respect. Jeannine Wiests week by week practical lessons will facilitate this fundamental change to a natural way of being. I am excited for anyone who undertakes this journey. Welcome Home!
