Hello, friends! I’m Lauren Gordon.

My journey into the healing arts began while studying sociology in Israel, where I discovered a fascination with Kabbalah and ancient wisdom traditions. My travels later took me to New Zealand, where a chance encounter with a traveling reflexologist introduced me to the art of Shiatsu.

Inspired by this experience, I pursued formal training at the prestigious Ohashiatsu Institute before making my home in Arkansas. I began my practice at Evergreen Acupuncture and later joined Ava Bella Day Spa, where I cultivated my own intuitive blend of Eastern and Western healing modalities.

My pursuit of cultivating energy through the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine led me to study Qigong with the renowned Lee Holden Academy. For the past five years, I've been part of the wonderful community at Yoga Story in Bentonville, while also sharing my love of Qigong through classes at Walton Whole Health & Fitness and the Bentonville Adult Recreation Center.

After more than two decades of exploration, learning, and meaningful human connection, Embodied Alchemy Therapy is the natural evolution of my life's work.


“Lauren has a unique way of holding space for people. She intuitively has a sense of how to meet people exactly where they are, whether that is in a Qigong class or on the massage table. I cannot recommend her highly enough for body and energy work!”
