Hello, my name is Tonje, and I am the founder of The Soul Alchemist. I reside in a tranquil town on the outskirts of Bedford in Bedfordshire, where I share my life with my partner, my two sons, and our five beloved cats. Home is my sanctuary—whether I’m enjoying quality time with family, engaging in daily house keeping, reading, studying, painting, meditating, tending to my garden, or simply enjoying the little moments of life, I find profound peace in these soul-nourishing experiences.
My spiritual journey began not through books or formal education, but in the presence of my Nan. From a young age, around seven, she opened my heart to a reality beyond the physical. I would sit in awe as she passionately discussed topics like reincarnation, the afterlife, and spirit communication—concepts she never formally studied but deeply understood. I vividly remember the warmth of her hands resting on my knee, a sensation that awakened my awareness of energy.
Together, we would visit the local spiritualist church, setting up chairs before the service and lingering afterward while she engaged with others. I observed as people received messages from the spirit world, feeling an uncanny familiarity with this exchange between realms. While not everyone approved—my dad once urged her to stop “filling my head with nonsense”—it only fueled my curiosity and conviction.
In her final days, my Nan shared that she was visited not by fear, but by a comforting presence. Visitors from the other side stood by her side. Though she couldn’t hear their words, she could see them, and sometimes silent tears would flow down her cheeks—not out of sadness, but from a sense of grace.
I felt no fear regarding her passing, nor did she. In its own way, it was a beautiful homecoming. Her gentle wisdom, unwavering trust in the unseen, and open heart planted the seeds of who I would become. Today, I honor her in all that I do—through the way I hold space, the trust I place in soul guidance, and my deep belief that we are never truly alone.
The next guiding light on my path came in the most unexpected of ways — through my work in care. Her name was Kath. When we met, she was a client I visited each morning to support with getting up, washed, and dressed. She was disabled from the shoulders down, yet there was nothing fragile about her spirit. From the first moment, I felt an instant, almost otherworldly familiarity — as if I’d known her across lifetimes. It was like meeting someone from my soul family.
Not long after I began working with her, she asked if I would consider becoming her full-time live-in carer. One of her carers was leaving, and something in her — and in me — knew this bond was meant to grow. I didn’t hesitate. It just felt right. And from that moment on, we were inseparable. Kath became so much more than a client, and even more than a friend — she became family.
Her home was filled with spiritual energy. Her sister and brother-in-law, a Reiki Master, ran a local healing centre and held sacred monthly circles right in her living room. Together, they would help earthbound souls — those still tied to the earth plane — find peace and move into the light. Watching this unfold, feeling the energy in the room, something inside me awakened even deeper. It was the first time I’d seen the spirit world embraced so openly and compassionately. Their work moved me to my core.
Kath herself was one of the wisest, most compassionate souls I’ve ever known. Despite the accident that left her paralysed at just 15, she carried herself with such humour, grace, and quiet strength. I held a deep reverence for her. She supported me through some of the most challenging chapters of my life — the birth of my first son, the breakdown of my marriage, and the waves of uncertainty that followed. Her words, her presence, her unwavering belief in me — they anchored me.
She taught me that true power doesn’t come from physical strength, but from how deeply you love, how openly you live, and how bravely you keep showing up, no matter the circumstances.
Kath passed away in hospital about ten years ago. Her death shook me to the core. I felt lost in my grief, like a light had gone out. It took years to truly process the depth of her absence… but in truth, she’s never really left. Her soul is still with me, guiding, encouraging, and gently reminding me of the strength she saw in me long before I saw it in myself.
Of all the souls who have walked beside me in this lifetime, none have shaped me more deeply than my two boys. They've been my anchors through every trial and transformation - the steady rhythm in the chaos, the light that kept me going when everything felt dark. In many ways, they were the reason i chose to heal, to become a better version of myself and to always strive to be my best. I wanted to be whole not just for myself, but for them too - so i could show them what it means to rise, to feel, to evolve, and to live with authenticity.
They've kept me grounded. They've made me laugh when i needed it most. They've reminded me, of what truly matters. Being a mother hasn't always been easy - I've had to grow, stretch, and soften in ways i never expected. But in doing so, I've become more of who I'm here to be. Their presence is a daily reminder of unconditional love, resilience, and soul purpose. I know they chose me as much as i chose them - and for that, I'm endlessly grateful.
In 2020, when the world came to a standstill during lockdown, something deep within me began to stir. The pace of life had suddenly shifted. Amidst the collective uncertainty, I found myself drawn inward — revisiting long-forgotten memories of my Nan’s healing touch, of sitting in sacred circles with Kath, and of feeling a connection to the unseen that had always lived quietly within me. With the busyness stripped away, I could hear the whispers again — the ones that reminded me I was here for something more. It felt like the beginning of a remembering. But life soon picked up again, and like many of us, I returned to caring for others, to raising my children, to holding things together. The soul’s call was growing louder, but I hadn’t yet fully answered..
Then, in October 2024, something happened that forced me to stop completely. I injured my back — and quite suddenly, I could no longer push through the way I always had. I was physically limited, in pain, and deeply confronted. But in that stillness, something shifted. I understood, this time more clearly than ever, that this wasn’t just about my body — it was a soul invitation. A pause gifted by the universe so I could finally listen.
It was during this time of physical healing that I discovered Spiritual Response Therapy (SRT) Something about it instantly resonated. I felt an inner nudge to find out more. That search led me to the work of Robert Detzler, the founder of SRT. I was so drawn in that I ordered all three of his books immediately and began studying them with enthusiasm and wonder. The more I learned about this unique system of energy healing—especially the way it works with the Akashic Records and uncovers subconscious programming—the more I felt this was part of my soul’s path. Before long, I booked my first session with an SRT practitioner. While I can’t quite pinpoint the exact moment it happened, something shifted within me.
SRT didn't just support my recovery - it transformed me.
It offered clarity, spaciousness, and a sense of inner alignment I had long been seeking. The fog began to lift. I felt lighter, clearer, and more connected to who I truly was beneath the layers of survival, pain, and responsibility and I could see my path unfolding ahead of me. I knew then that I wanted to learn how to do this work—not just for myself, but to support others on their healing journeys too.
I soon enrolled in the Basic SRT class, followed by the advanced class - which I am thrilled to say that I completed in May 2025. My intention is to continue moving forward, raising my vibration and expanding my consciousness by exploring, studying and training in other fields and modalities, which will allow me to deepen my offerings and work with clients on a more profound level.
My work is about more than just technique—it’s about holding space for people to remember who they truly are beneath the conditioning, the pain, the programing, and the past. I bring all of who I am into this work: my lifelong sensitivity, my love for beauty and energy, my deep belief that we are all here with a purpose, and my commitment to helping others clear the energetic blocks that hold them back from living a life of clarity, joy, and spiritual alignment. Whether I’m guiding someone through a soul clearing session, painting an intuitive energy piece, or simply holding sacred space for reflection and release, my deepest intention is always the same: to help others remember who they are at soul level and support them in reclaiming their light.
Remember... you are not lost. You are unfolding. The path reveals itself as you walk it. Trust the quiet whisper, the gentle nudge. Follow the light within. Your soul remembers the way.
You’re warmly invited to a sacred soul gathering — a safe and nourishing space for awakened and awakening souls who feel the call to grow, evolve, and remember who they truly are.
This event is a soul-led opportunity to connect, share, and explore your path of soul development and spiritual growth with others who feel deeply and know there’s more.
If you’re seeking meaningful connection and resonance — this is for you.
