Warmth before technique
Method matters, but relationship comes first. Nothing useful happens until you feel safe enough to be honest.
About us
The work of turning heavy things into something you can carry.
Our story
Savannah Miller brings over 25 years in the field and a licensed clinical background to her coaching work. She holds a Master's in Clinical Social Work from the University of New England, and is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Washington (LICSW). She is certified in ketamine assisted psychotherapy through PRATI, and her work draws on Internal Family Systems, somatic therapy, and depth psychology.
Heart Alchemy Institute grew out of a simple observation: most people arrive at coaching or psychotherapy not because something is broken, but because something is changing faster than they can make sense of it.
Alchemy is the old word for transformation: for taking what is raw and heavy and working it into something with value. That is the shape of the work here. We do not remove what happened to you. We help you turn it into something you can hold.
The practice offers coaching and psychotherapy, and is growing to include longer intensives and retreats for people who want to go deeper than a weekly hour allows.
What guides the work
Your pace, not a protocol
We follow what is ready to move rather than pushing toward a milestone that belongs to someone else.
Whole-person, not symptom-only
Body, story, relationships, and circumstance are all part of the picture. We work with the whole of it.
