“I have completed and continue to study advanced principles in Chinese Medicine with Jeffrey Yuen, an 88th Generation Daoist priest and Chinese Medicine master. I have been teaching the Five Elements for over twenty years and have provided Five Element counseling to hundreds of individuals and couples. I am also a graduate of Eliot Cowan’s Plant Spirit Medicine studies program. I have studied intensively with well-known teachers and former students of J.R. Worsley, who brought Five Element Acupuncture to England in the 1960s. I also have a license in massage therapy and am certified in acupressure by the American Organization of Bodywork Therapies of Asia (AOBTA). My acupressure practice is very unique and diverse, focusing on ancient Chinese healing practices that are largely unknown today in the Western culture. People travel from around the world to my clinic to do intensive Alchemical work with me."
Meet Jaye McElroy

Jaye McElroy uses her knowledge of Alchemy and the Five Elements to provide very unique life strategy sessions. She is an author, coach, photographer, co-founder of the Alchemy Healing Center, and co-host of the Inspired Action podcast.

She is the co-author of four books: Through the Mystery Gate (also available as an audiobook),  The Energy of Love, Connecting Your Circle, and The Big “Little” Gua Sha Book. 
Jaye's Alchemical Life Strategy work dives deep into your energetic temperament to help you use the gifts of who you truly are and transform the ways you are blocking yourself in life. During a session, Jaye maps out your Elemental stack-up (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water), giving you deep insights into how your energetics influence your behaviors and relationships in your life.  Whether it is a challenge, an obstacle, or just feeling stuck in your life, she can help guide you into clarity and ease. 

Jaye also brings in the Nine Palaces and how they map to your Five Elements, so you can prioritize better what's most important in your life, whether it's Career, Relationship, Health, Wealth, Home, Travel/Adventure, Children/Creativity, Wisdom, Prosperity. No good, no bad...no right or wrong...a 100% no-judgement zone created just for you to thrive not just survive.   
Meet Raili Raud

L.Ac., MAOM., Dipl. of OM

Alchemy, Acupuncture, Acupressure, Herbal Medicine

Raili is our Senior Practitioner providing Acupuncture, Acupressure (as an alternative to acupuncture), Herbal and Dietary consultations and Alchemical Healing treatments, such as the Thirteen Ghost Points. 

Raili is licensed as an acupuncturist and herbalist by the Massachusetts Board of Medicine, and she is nationally certified as a Diplomate of Oriental Medicine by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).
Chinese Medicine captured her interest when she witnessed the healing of her son through Chinese Medicine treatments with Leta. After a year of studying with Leta, her intrigue and fascination with Chinese Medicine grew to a point that she changed her long-held plans to attend Western medical school and, instead, enrolled in a Chinese Medicine program. Before becoming fascinated with the field of Chinese Medicine, Raili received her Bachelor’s degree in Neuroscience from Mount Holyoke College, earning the highest honors and membership into the Phi Beta Kappa honor society. Raili received her Master’s degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (MAOM) from the Daoist Traditions College of Chinese Medical Arts where she was trained in Classical Chinese Medicine based on the teachings of Master Jeffery Yuen. 
Meet Penny Herter

Alchemy and Reiki

Penny Herter has studied Alchemy with Leta and Jaye for the past three years. She is the newest member of our team, offering Reiki and Alchemical Treatments (like the Thirteen Ghost Points and the Stages of Alchemy) at the Alchemy Healing Center. She also often assists Leta with her Acupressure sessions as she continues her Acupressure training.

Her Reiki treatments are incredibly relaxing and rejuvenating, while easing pain in many cases. She has studied Reiki under Reiki Master Teacher, Rosie Pearson.


Reiki is a unique, healing therapy that can restore the body to equilibrium through the transfer of beneficial energy. Treatment can be localized to the site of a specific ailment or conducted across the body. You will enjoy feelings of warmth and comfort, and may very well find yourself in a deep state of relaxation.

Meet Yeshe Tsomo

LMT KuNye Massage

Yeshe Tsomo, LMT is our Senior Massage Therapist at the Alchemy Healing Center. She is very skilled in many massage techniques, hot stone therapy, and a very special technique... KuNye Massage, which is the traditional Tibetan massage. You can experience one or all types of these techniques in your massage at the Alchemy Healing Center. 
Testimonial:

"Yeshi's Tibetan massage is incredible. Absolutely the best massage I have ever had, and I've had many from different wonderful practitioners. Deep work, addresses meridian and pressure points, and she has the warmest hands (naturally) as she works - great healing energy. I saw her today about my very painful lower back, and I left with no pain. Past experience with her tells me as long as I do my part (🥴) to care for my back, it lasts - can't say how long cause I’m kinda not totally compliant with proper back care on a daily basis 🙄😱) . But she saves me each time 👍🏻”

Meet Anne Zager

LMT Massage

Anne's intuitive deep tissue massage is influenced by her craniosacral therapy and shiatsu training. She has combined her various trainings to develop this truly unique and healing massage technique that both moves any stuck energy and stress within your meridians and also reenergizes what feels deficient and tired. We at the Alchemy Healing Center recommend her massage for anyone who is feeling tired and worn down or for anyone feeling bound up and stagnant with stress. 

Anne graduated in 2009 with a degree in Eastern and Western Therapeutic Bodywork from the CenterPoint Massage and Shiatsu School in Minneapolis. She completed two years of advanced Craniosacral training at the Great River Craniosacral Therapy Institute in Nyack, New York and a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training program at Greenhouse Holistic in Brooklyn. She completed a two-year mindfulness-centered somatic psychotherapy training with the Hakomi Institute in Princeton then went on to obtain her Master’s in Clinical Social Work from Smith College. 
Anne draws from a thorough anatomical understanding, then tunes into individual frequencies to release long-held tensions in the mind and body. Anne has served as a birth doula, hospice massage therapist, and as a psychotherapist in early substance use recovery and community mental health.

"I offer hands-on, heart-centered work to help you release tension, relax into your body, and tap into greater self-worth. The style of bodywork I provide is especially supportive for people coping with chronic physical or mental health challenges such as TMJ, back pain, migraines, anxiety, depression, PTSD, sleep issues, loss and grief."
