meet me

Hi, I’m Tonje, the founder of The Soul Alchemist. I live in a quiet town on the edge of Bedford in Bedfordshire with my partner, my two sons, and our five beloved cats. Home is my sanctuary—whether I’m reading, studying, painting, meditating, tending to the garden, or simply pottering around, I find deep peace in the simple, soul-nourishing moments of daily life.

My journey into healing and spiritual work began after a pivotal turning point in my life. In late 2024, I sustained a back injury that forced me to step away from the physical work I had been doing and ultimately led me to close down my cleaning business. What followed was a long, slow healing process—both physically and emotionally. At times it was incredibly challenging, yet it became a sacred space for reflection, growth, and rediscovery.

With my physical activity limited, I found myself naturally returning to the things that had always sparked my curiosity and brought me comfort: art, meditation, oracle and tarot cards, and spiritual studies. I began diving deeply into topics like crystal healing, chakras, energy fields, and the nature of consciousness. These weren’t new interests—they had always lived within me—but now I had the time, space, and inner calling to truly explore them.

Much like the introspective time we all experienced during the lockdowns, this period became a catalyst for transformation. One day, while exploring online, I stumbled upon something I had never heard of before: 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. Over the following weeks, I began to feel lighter, clearer, and more at peace. It was as though a fog had lifted, 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 training and have since completed the course. I’m currently offering sessions to volunteers while I continue practicing and building my confidence on the road to full certification. My intention is to continue on to the Advanced SRT training, which will allow me to deepen my offerings and work with clients on a more profound level—researching past lives, clearing discordant energy, and helping others reconnect with their soul’s highest path.

My work is about more than just technique—it’s about heart, intention, and intuition. 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 an SRT clearing, 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.

Thank you for being here, and for walking this path with me.

Bright blessing’s,

Tonje xx
