Meet Shaniece
Modern Alchemy was born from a deep passion for healing, connection, and transformation. Founded by Shaniece Thomas, a community herbalist, Reiki practitioner, and sound therapist, the vision for Modern Alchemy is rooted in the belief that everyone has the power to heal from within.
Shaniece’s journey began with years of working as a preschool teacher on military bases across the country and later as a mindfulness instructor for inner-city schools within the Bay Area. Witnessing the profound impact mindfulness had on children and their communities sparked a desire to extend these practices to a wider audience. With a Leo Rising’s creativity and a Cancer Moon’s nurturing heart, Shaniece combined her expertise in sound therapy, Reiki, and herbalism to create Modern Alchemy—a sanctuary for holistic healing and personal growth.
Modern Alchemy’s mission is to guide individuals toward balance and self-discovery through ancestral healing modalities tailored for the modern world. Whether through immersive sound baths, energy work, or community events, Shaniece creates spaces where people can pause, reflect, and reconnect with their inner healer.
At Modern Alchemy, every offering is designed with intention—to help you align with your authentic self and awaken the magic that lies within. Join us on this journey, and let’s transform your well-being together.
