We are Andrea & Nadine, the founders of Alchemy Lab. In this first post, we would love to tell you why we created Alchemy Lab. If you told us a year ago that we would be co-founders of a holistic health online business, we would have laughed in your face! Andrea left Switzerland and wanted to travel around Asia to explore a “life without regrets” and work all kinds of jobs, for example, at surf school. Nadine left her job in politics in the Netherlands to try to save the world by fighting for Human Rights and exploring the globe along the way. A year and a million versions of us later, here we are, explaining how we created our company!
Let us tell you our why, how, and intention behind Alchemy Lab!
“Everyone can become the alchemist of their own life.”
Across many years and tough personal challenges, we discovered tools that improved our lives from a physical, mental, and emotional perspective. Our goal is to share these tools with as many people as possible. Why? Because we can all use some help sometimes. These practices can help us find the answers and solutions within instead of relying on external substances. This is why, when facilitating, we do our best to empower people to help themselves autonomously.
Our journey started with the creation of a breathwork & meditation center, where we succesfully facilitated more than 2’000 people from every corner of the world. In an attempt to make a change, we organized our sessions as donation-based ones inspired by Vipassana centers. This way, everyone who needs it can join. In time, we received the most heartwarming feedback and some recurring questions:
“How can I practice by myself?”
“What other practice can I use to connect with my intuition and emotions?”
“Where can I find a community?”
And the most asked question “Do you offer online sessions so we can keep practicing from home?”
The first seeds were planted when we discussed what we thought could be a solution. We needed a platform where people meet like-minded people, find information about ancient wisdom and modern science, and learn how to implement spiritual practices in their lives.
Driven by love and inspiration, we created Alchemy Lab, a bridge between you and the practices that will empower you. This bridge contains a safe space where you can find support, tools, and knowledge.
