Poetry Alchemy Sessions
Using the power of poetry in transformational 1-1 coaching sessions
Hi! My name is Rionach Aiken, the Poetry Alchemist.
In my Poetry Alchemy transformational 1-1 coaching sessions I assist you to choose a powerful poem and work deeply to integrate its wisdom.
Poetry Alchemy involves an interactive process of embodying a poem, bringing your breath, voice, body and whole life experience to the encounter. The poem becomes a mantra taking you beyond the understanding of your conscious mind.
The right poem at the right time can be a powerful catalyst for change. It helps generate the clarity and courage you need to take the next step in living a full and fulfilling life.
Poetry Alchemy activates your senses and imagination so you tap into a source of deep creativity, intuition, insight and wisdom to guide your inspired actions.
This work is for you if you are a soulful, sensitive person whose been experiencing frustration in playing the biggest game you sense is possible for you.
Join me on this magical journey of transformation.

"Before the Poetry Alchemy sessions, poetry made no sense to me. I was afraid I wasnā€™t educated around poetry ā€“ it was crazy words to me. I loved working with the poem. It was beautiful, insightful and I learned so much about others and myself. Rionach's approach was so cleansing and healing. I can feel my joy! The poem means different things to me on different days. I feel like itā€™s in me and I want to own it forever. I say the poem everywhere and I read poems to my yoga class. I'm a poem carrier now."

Why is Poetry Alchemy effective?
Poetry Alchemy works with your entire heart, mind, body and spirit, rather than focusing on one problem.
Neuroscience teaches us that we are amazingly complex and multi-layered beings, and the more we can integrate and access this complexity, the better. Evidence from current research suggests that the most effective people use many different ways of knowing; for example, both empathy and intuition as well as logical and analytical skills.
Poetry Alchemy facilitates the engagement of your whole brain and body wisdom. I'll encourage you to explore both thoughts and feelings, and give voice to intuitive gut reactions. This kind of attention literally helps integrate the right and left hemispheres of the brain, which not only opens up new solutions and creativity, but also builds lasting connections that can be used for future problem-solving.
Poetry Alchemy seeks lasting change, supporting you to shift to the next level of your development as you continue to grow and evolve. Research into neuroplasticity shows that the brain is adaptable and can change with effort and intention. We can literally rewire our brains with our thoughts. The more a neural pathway in the brain is used, the stronger it becomes. Some of our neural connections have wired strongly into habits and behaviors that are effective, and some have wired into limiting beliefs and strategies that are not.
One of the keys to neuroplasticity is novelty, which gets our attention and releases a brain chemical that makes new neural pathways possible. Recent research has shown that the language of poetry acts like a rocket-booster to the brain, shifting mental pathways and creating new connections in people of all ages. Poetry lights up the parts of the brain concerned with language and also those relating to autobiographical memory and emotion. Intense activity in this area of the brain suggests that poetry triggers “reappraisal mechanisms” causing the reader to reflect and rethink their own experiences in light of what they read.

- You’re not ready to follow your inner guidance and take action
- You’ve never worked on yourself and are a beginner in this area
"I had no idea that words could have such medicine. The same words Iā€™ve spoken my whole life have so much more meaning! Rionach suggested speaking the poem softly, as if to myself, and to fall into the pauses. Those invitations created a breakthrough for me. The tone of tenderness - it was almost too painful to read this way. Taking my time gave my body permission to slow down. It opened my heart wide. Allowing spaciousness between the words let the poem create a space for my experience. Iā€™ve never meditated, but this is as close to meditation as Iā€™ve come. I feel much gratitude for Rionachā€™s tender presence and gentle clear guidance. "
