Transforming Impossible to Possible:
The Thirteen Ghost Points
A Case Study (Hyacinth)
When Everything Feels Impossible
Hyacinth pressed her palm against her solar plexus, feeling that familiar knot of anxiety tighten in the area just beneath her ribcage. Again. She was responding to my question of where she notices the anxiety when it shows up.
A healthcare practitioner with a bustling private practice, Hyacinth had mastered the art of caring for everyone else. As a devoted mother, wife, daughter, and loyal friend, she moved through her days managing high stress like it was just another item on her endless to-do list. Her sense of overwhelm seemed ever present.
And her body was keeping tabs.
For years, stress would literally throw her neck out of alignment—a painful reminder that she couldn’t outrun what she was feeling. We recognized that the pattern of chronic tension in her neck and shoulders that had become a well-known presence, was likely linked to the emotional load she carried.
We’d been working together with Alchemy for a year when Hyacinth noticed something encouraging: she hadn’t thrown her neck out in quite a while. The shoulder tension was easing too. Seemingly small, these shifts made a big difference for Hyacinth in her daily life.
Then life threw her a curveball.
“I felt like there were alarms going off all around me,” Hyacinth described that overwhelming week. The anxiety she thought she’d been managing suddenly escalated into something more frightening.
Her throat would tighten without warning. Her heart would race. Chest pain would grip her, making it hard to breathe. These weren’t just moments of stress—they were panic attacks, striking three times a week with no predictable pattern.
Hyacinth found herself reaching out to both her therapist and her naturopathic physician, desperate for answers. The recommendation was clear: an SSRI medication to help counteract what her Naturopath diagnosed as mini panic attacks.
But Hyacinth wasn’t ready to go that route. Not yet.
“I needed relief,” she told me, “but I wanted to try something else first.”
That’s when she remembered our conversations about the Alchemy Ghost Points session—a day-long intensive we’d discussed as an option for her to consider over the past year. Previously, she’d been hesitant. She wasn’t sure if the Ghost Points session was necessary or how it would really help her.
Now, with panic attacks disrupting her life three times a week and medication on the table, everything felt different.
“I’m ready,” she said as she looked at me from the chair in the corner of my treatment room that particular Wednesday afternoon.
That decision—saying yes to the Ghost Points session—was about to change the course of her life.
The Transformation that Changed Everything
“Anxiety is not there.”
Hyacinth spoke these words with an air of disbelief, as if she couldn’t quite trust what she was experiencing. “Sometimes I wonder what it used to feel like. It’s not there.”
This was Hyacinth speaking in awe after her Ghost Points session—the same Hyacinth who had been experiencing panic attacks three times a week, who had been considering medication, who had lived with chronic tension in her neck and shoulders for years.
But the absence of anxiety was just the beginning.
In the wake of her intensive session, Hyacinth discovered she had a new relationship with talk therapy. Fresh perspectives on her life emerged naturally. And that SSRI medication her naturopath had recommended? Hyacinth determined she no longer needed it.
“I feel so different,” Hyacinth shared. “Everything I was afraid of is the opposite. Things with my husband are much better. And my parents.” Then came the revelation that would reshape how she saw her entire life: “I realize I’ve been caretaking everyone else my whole life.”
What struck Hyacinth most was how the longer Alchemy session had addressed things she thought she’d already taken care of. “I had known these things on the surface level,” she explained, “but I hadn’t realized how much they were woven into everything.”
The transformation ran deeper than symptom relief. Hyacinth described it as a fundamental shift in her internal landscape: “I am forever transformed. I feel like I am living for the first time.”
She began noticing her old patterns with new awareness: “I notice something that used to trigger me, then catch myself. Sometimes I start down the pattern because it’s a reflex, and then realize it’s a wrong turn and stop dead in my tracks.”
Perhaps most profoundly, Hyacinth realized she had been living as someone she wasn’t: “I lived the first 39 years of my life and thought that was who I am, but it’s not who I am.”
Now, with confident awe, she says, “The landscape of my subconscious has changed. I am peaceful inside.”
Everything feels different now. “Sentences that used to spiral me don’t anymore. I am not as fearful of people being sick around me. There’s now a space from which I am watching and observing myself. It’s amazing.”
Where Hyacinth once felt trapped by circumstances and reactions, she now experiences choice and possibility. “Issues that used to feel like I can’t figure them out and I’ll just live with it the rest of my life… they are loosening and instead I’m having ‘aha’ moments.”
And perhaps most importantly, Hyacinth can now ask herself the question that had felt impossible for so long: “What do I want?”
For Hyacinth, things that once felt impossible now feel entirely possible. The difference isn’t just in what she’s experiencing—it’s in who she’s become.
As she keeps on with the Alchemy journey, progressing steadily through the Stages of Alchemy, Hyacinth continues to experience remarkable shifts in her inner world that are being reflected in her outer world.
The message she keeps repeating, Everyone needs to experience a Ghost Points session and Alchemy. The world would be so different.
I wholeheartedly agree!

Welcome to a Rare Opportunity: A Ghost Points Session
Not everyone who feels the nudge of something greater calling them takes action.
If you are among the select few committed to following your path to something greater, I invite you to join me on a complimentary Discovery Call (click the link below).
Let’s explore how an alchemical partnership might benefit your forward momentum.
The Ghost Points session – one of the strongest catalysts I know of – is something I facilitate as part of an exclusive 2 Day Intensive that includes valuable time for intention setting, integration, and visioning.
Currently the only person in the Pacific Northwest certified to facilitate a Ghost Points session – this is a unique opportunity, indeed.
For the visionary who senses there is more… much more… awaiting expression through your unique gifts, talents, and perspective.
I feel grounded, centered, connected to my heart. My mind is calm. I trust everything is unfolding exactly as needed. I’m starting to have new conversations with myself, specifically my heart… allowing my desires, wants, and passions to naturally arise… In the mirror, I see myself differently. I’m able to look into my eyes and see my beauty, my heart, my goodness. I’d say the Ghost Points [ceremony] is working!
