In your body and in your story.
Choose Your Path
Some people begin in the body — seeking relief, grounding, and a sense of safety.
Others begin with the mind — exploring their story, shifting patterns, and creating clarity.
No matter where you start, the work meets you where you are.
Healing happens when the body feels safe enough to let go,
and the mind learns a new way to relate to the story it’s been carrying.
You don’t have to choose perfectly.
You just need to take the first step — the rest unfolds naturally.
I’ve spent nearly two decades working one-on-one with people, and what I’ve learned is that true healing happens when the body and mind are in dialogue, when safety is restored, and when the unconscious stories that shape our lives are met with curiosity and compassion.
My approach blends embodied work, energy awareness, and guided inquiry, so that change is not just felt in the moment, but remembered and lasting.
Healing begins wherever you are — in the body or the mind. Every journey is valid, and the work meets you exactly where you are.
Here’s how it unfolds:
Start where you are — Some people begin in the body, some in the mind. Both are entry points to the same transformation.
Reconnect with yourself — Gentle guidance and exercises help your body and mind feel safe, grounded, and present.
Shift patterns — Through embodied work, inquiry, and reflection, long-held patterns begin to release.
Integrate new ways of being — Your nervous system and your story align, giving you lasting calm, clarity, and choice.
Healing doesn’t have to begin alone.
Our Women’s Circles offer a gentle way to begin — by stepping into safe, intentional community where you are reminded that you are not alone, you are deeply loved, and you matter.
These circles create space for you to be seen without fixing, heard without judgment, and supported without pressure to perform or be “healed.” Within the container of shared presence, guided reflection, and intentional connection, you are invited to reconnect with your own inner knowing — the wisdom that already lives within you.
Starting with community allows healing to unfold naturally.
As you listen, share, witness, and are witnessed, something softens. You remember yourself. You remember your belonging.
This path is perfect if you are just beginning your healing journey or if you are already doing deeper work through somatic and energy healing or coaching. Many women find the circles to be a powerful complement — offering integration, reflection, and nervous-system-safe connection that deepens and supports the transformation happening in their private sessions.
Whether this is your first step, your steady anchor, or the thread that weaves your healing work together, the circle meets you exactly where you are.
You don’t have to know what you need yet.
You only have to arrive.
Testimonials
"Working with Mirilena has been a truly fulfilling experience I would recommend her to anyone who wants to better themselves, both in how they relate to others and to themselves...it's a deeply personal journey, and one that continues to impact me long after the classes were completed. I still use the tools and mindset shifts I gained through coaching with Mirilena in my everyday life."
-Annya, Acceptance Alchemy Student
"Miri does a wonderful job of holding space with the empathy to understand her clients struggles and help them get to the root of the habit or cycle. This helped me look at myself and my struggles from a new and more honest perspective, so that the pattern can be changed rather than repeated. I would highly recommend her coaching to anyone who wants to make big changes in their life but doesn’t know where, how or what to do to start the process."
-Preston, Empowerment Breakthrough Graduate
"Miri is so talented and I highly recommend her coaching services. The coaching I received during her program helped me view myself, others, and situations in a new light. Her program will set you up for success and give you tools that you can use for the rest of your life."

Does Acceptance Alchemy & Rebel Rising REPLACE 12 step recovery?
Rebel Rising Workshops and Events are not meant to replace 12 step recovery. Whether you want to build on what you learned in 12 Step Recovery or r 12 Step Recovery isn't for you, Rebel Rising is a meant to give you tools to help you THRIVE in recovery vs. just surviving. It is my personal mission to provide resources for living a life where we can truly recover, learning to handle conflict, trust ourselves again, and to stand in our values and our power. Rebel Rising workshops and Acceptance Alchemy Programs are all designed for just that!
Is this therapy?
NO! The work of Acceptance Alchemy is a collection of tools that help you to live an empowered life. It's mostly education that is meant to help you remember who you are at your core and you have the power to choose your story. We use NLP, Shadow Work, Victim Consciousness, Personal Growth tools and Spiritual principles to help you uncover the truth of who you are. Acceptance Alchemy and Rebel Rising programs and coaching are NOT therapy. For people who have been in therapy for a long time, and feel like they have hit a plateau, the work we do together can be an alternative to therapy. However, I love working with people who are in therapy! It's great to have a broad support network. Often I find that my clients benefit from being both in therapy and doing the work of Acceptance Alchemy, as therapy appointments often don't allow for the in depth education we offer in our workshops, coaching and breakthrough sessions.
Who is Rebel Rising for?
Rebel Rising: Defining Your Recovery is for survivors and seekers from every walk of life. Whether you’ve been in long-term recovery through a 12-step program or you’re just beginning your healing journey, this space is designed for you. Our workshops offer empowerment-based recovery tools that go beyond survival—helping you step into a life where you truly thrive. No matter what you’re recovering from—substance use, an abusive relationship, or patterns like people-pleasing—Rebel Rising is here to support you in reclaiming your power, rewriting your story, and rising into your fullest self.
What is the Empowerment Breakthrough Session?
This isn’t therapy. It’s a two-day, life-changing intensive designed for people who are ready to take their growth to the next level. The Empowerment Breakthrough Session is a powerful complement to therapy, or an alternative for those who feel ready to “graduate” from traditional talk work and step fully into creating the life they want. Over two days, we’ll use proven personal growth tools and the power of your own mind to release what’s been holding you back. That might be old emotional weight—like anger, fear, sadness, hurt, or guilt—limiting beliefs you’ve carried for years, or habits and patterns that no longer serve you. Together, we’ll help you clear the slate, rewire the way you think and feel, and reconnect with your true potential. This experience is about liberation—being free to be who you want to be, do what you want to do, and have what you want to have. If you’re tired of sitting on the sidelines of your life, this is your invitation to step into your power and start living the life you’ve always dreamed of.
