Mens Alchemy

I reverence our natural ability to emotionally and mentally self heal and spiritually actualise. In all I do, I aim to restore in each person this innate intelligence. For the last decade, I have facilitated thousands of people in live and online spaces through deep personal healing, spiritual reconnection and grounding their creative potential in life, career and relationships. After leaving the medical field ten years ago, I explored ancient cultures, different dimensions and bridged east and west. With a pragmatic mind and a country girl spirit, I have a unique blend of practical and down to earth approaches to the arena of therapy, embodied healing, integration, energy and consciousness. The more formal parts of my qualifications include:

A Bachelor of Medical Science, A Diploma of Mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner, Deep State Re-Patterning Therapist, Functional Breathwork Practitioner, Mindfulness and Meditation Teacher, Hatha Yoga Teacher, Pranayama Teacher and a Practitioner of The Melchizedek Method.

I’m Alastair, calm, stable and people focused. I delight in being of service, holding space particularly in the uncomfortable.

More specifically in my daily practice, I’m a Chinese medicine practitioner. I stick needles in people, give them herbs to brew up and talk with them about life death and consciousness. I love my job because it offers me so much growth and personal development while I’m generally having a laugh with people.

When I’m not doing that I find joy in riding bikes, strangling people at Jiu jitsu and cooking pizza.

My core values are growth joy and health.

Brett Robbo’s journey began in an isolated country town in Australia, called Cobar. With a population of only 5,500 people it was great for Brett to stay well connected to his close family and friends – a deep core value of his.

Sporting opportunities flourished for him as he was offered Rugby League contracts in Sydney and Sprinting scholarships at the Australian Institute of Sport, of which he chose the latter and was a full-time sprinter for almost 3 years. Since his time at the AIS Brett has been travelling the World consulting as a Performance Coach and Performance Therapist to Olympic level Track and Field Athletes, Sydney Swans AFL, Various NRL and ARU teams, Redbull athletes, and many other High Performance athletes and teams while also helping top level CEO’s, stay at home parents, entrepreneurs and everyday humans tap into their growth mindset and inner excellence and be the best versions of themselves.

I’ve had a “health and fitness” focussed mindset from the age of 15, I’ve been very fortunate to work and gain experience across a huge range of areas and modalities during my time in the industry. I spent 8 years of my Army career working with Australian Special Forces (commandos) and have experiential knowledge of what the human body and mind are truly capable of, from being embedded and training with the most elite soldiers on the planet.

I was a full-time soldier for 14 years, 8 of those as the “Head Combat Fitness Leader”. In 2008 I became qualified as a personal trainer and in recent years branched into the special needs space. My experience and training has given me the ability to coach any individual from special needs to special forces.

Definitely part of the R-evolution family, Bebe dreams of a world with less intellect and more heart… Less rules and more freedom! A world where we remember our connection to the Earth Mother, to our raw, real, authentic essence. Bebe was born out of an act of rebellion & R-evolution, where 2 souls from complete opposite social classes fell in love back in the 70s & chose to breakthrough their own conditioning & the disapproval of the lineage for their union & dance. In essence her birth was already starting to dissolve & restructure the old hierarchal ways & the illusions of separation… Bringing 2 “other-worlds’ into union, with her as a bridge.

It has been over a decade now that she has helped many return to their own sacred union with all of their colours through her alchemy work which encompasses a array of tools: Shamanic Journey Path Creatress, Sound Medicine Therapist, Embodied Life Guide, Energy Medicine Mentor, Somatic Breath Facilitator, Womb Wisdom Medicine Holder, Munay Ki Priestess…

She is a Wild & Revolutionary Woman who brings in the clarity we require to see through the masks we wear, the conditioning we carry, the shadows we project & the unjust systems we create. Her authenticity, truth & wisdom are her gifts, she anchors a good dose of rebellion & certainly awakens the inner R-evolution Frequency our soul requires to free ourselves from the rigid rules & conditioning we have created in all dimensions: physical, emotional, mental & spiritual. Clarity is assured to be rippling through your temple with Bebe as an anchor.

My strength as a practitioner has come from learning directly from many amazing practitioners as the transfer of skill and subtle details are best learnt directly from others rather than books.Although I’ve worked incredibly hard throughout my journey, it’s thanks to these people, I owe a great deal of my learning, appreciation and understanding of this profound traditional medicine. I will be at Alchemy as an unbiased and honest support, ear that listens, reflections that are designed to remind you of your wisdom and a bridge between facilitator and attendee.
