About Vivien - Founder of Alkaluma

From survival mode to self-sovereignty

For most of my life, I thought the only way to be “enough” was to work harder, push through, and never stop.

I grew up as the youngest of three, in a home where rest wasn’t allowed and emotions weren’t safe to share. If you sat still too long, you were yelled at. If you were sick, you were told to get on with it. Without knowing it, I learned to hide my feelings, silence my needs, and measure my worth by what I could achieve.

By my teens, I was searching for escape — in the wrong relationships, in parties, in anything that would numb the ache of not feeling at home in myself.
In my twenties, I swapped the chaos for corporate life. I climbed fast, earned the promotions, wore the title of HR Manager like armour… but inside, I was exhausted, bloated, depressed, and constantly at war with my body. I worked out at 4am, followed every diet, spent thousands on supplements, and still woke up tired.

When a toxic workplace finally shattered my self-worth, I walked away — from the job, the title, and the identity I thought defined me.

That was my turning point.

I gave myself time to “rest,” only to realise I didn’t actually know how. I’d been wired since childhood to push through everything, and now I had to re-learn how to listen to my body, how to feel my feelings, and how to soften.

I explored Reiki, breathwork, plant medicine, kinesiology, PSYCH-K®, spinal energetics — not as quick fixes, but as doorways back to myself.
Over time, my health came back. The fatigue lifted. The anxiety calmed. I stopped treating my body like a project to perfect and started treating her like a friend.

Now, I guide others through that same shift — from living in the head to leading with the heart.

I help you feel safe enough to rest, brave enough to face what’s been buried, and free enough to live the life you’ve been holding back from.

Because I know what it’s like to look “fine” on the outside while your inner world is crumbling.

I know the cost of staying in survival mode.

And I know the freedom of finally coming home to yourself.

My Philosophy

My approach to healing is to create a safe space for clients to express and feel anything that needs to be processed. By allowing emotions and feelings to be fully experienced, they can be processed and released, enabling the body to move forward from trauma responses.

The ability to process trapped emotions often allows a person to heal physical ailments or feel lighter as their nervous system and neural pathways release. I believe healing therapies have the potential to cleanse your body, heal your heart, and nourish your soul.

My Offerings

  • A woman receiving a energy from another woman in a cozy, well-lit room.

    Energetic Kinesiology

    A holistic healing system that listens to the body’s intelligence through muscle testing to uncover the root cause of stress and imbalance. By working with your energy field, meridians, and subconscious mind, kinesiology restores flow and harmony across body, mind, and spirit — helping you feel clear, grounded, and deeply connected to yourself.

  • A woman with blonde hair hitting a gong with a mallet, while lying on a bed.

    Spinal Energetics

    A gentle yet powerful modality that works with the spine, energy field, and emotional body to release stored tension and trauma. Using intuitive movements and energy attunement, Spinal Energetics helps the nervous system unwind and reset, allowing life force energy to flow freely and reconnect you with your natural rhythm of safety, expression, and vitality.

  • A woman with long blonde hair kneeling next to a person lying on the ground, reaching out with her hand. The person on the ground appears to be unconscious or in distress, with tattoos on their arm and head. Several other people are sitting or lying nearby, with a natural outdoor setting in the background.

    Breathwork

    Access your body's innate healing intelligence through the gateway of conscious breath. This powerful practice bypasses the analytical mind to reach the deeper layers where transformation occurs, allowing you to release stored emotions, trauma, and limiting beliefs held in your cellular memory. As you breathe into expanded states of awareness, old patterns naturally surface for healing while creating space for new possibilities to emerge.
