are you ready to ignite your inner alchemy? 

 

Michelle LoFurno, Psy.D., founder of Illuminated Alchemy, is a psychospiritual therapist devoted to helping individuals transform life’s darkest moments into catalysts for profound growth and self-discovery. She views healing as an alchemical process—one where the pain and challenges of life become the raw materials for creating wisdom, resilience, and light.

 

True healing comes through integrating these experiences, transmuting the shadows into sources of power, and reclaiming the brilliance within.

“I’m not triggered anymore and I don’t find myself thinking about my traumatic experience as much.  When I do, it’s now a faint memory and I only feel compassion where there was once tremendous hurt and anguish.  I’m so grateful for this work and for Michelle.  She is an Angel on this earth."

Welcome! I'm so glad you’ve found me.

 

I’m Michelle LoFurno, Psy.D., a psychospiritual therapist. With over a decade of experience in clinical psychology, I’ve had the honor of supporting individuals through deep transformations, often in the midst of trauma, existential crises, or profound life transitions. I approach healing as a sacred journey—one that involves remembering the innate wisdom and resilience that already exists within you.​
 

My work blends traditional therapeutic practices with a soul-centered approach, integrating ancient wisdom and transpersonal techniques. I believe true healing transcends the mind, touching the depths of the body, heart, and spirit. Whether we’re working through shadow, grief, or the beauty of expansion, my intention is to hold a safe, compassionate space where you can fully embrace your humanity and awaken to your divinity.

​

In addition to my clinical background, I am trained as a psychedelic preparation and integration guide, meditation teacher, and practitioner of superconscious healing. Combining these approaches, I have developed a unique modality of guided inner work, rooted in Jungian theories. Using visualization and imagination, I help clients integrate lost parts of self, rewire subconscious patterns through accessing the power of the superconscious mind, and embody transformation through a somatic alchemical practice that must be experienced to be fully understood.

​

When I'm not in session, I am deeply immersed in the study of cosmology and mysticism, continuously exploring the profound mysteries of existence. As an eternal student of consciousness, I bring a curiosity and reverence for the unseen dimensions of life into my work, weaving these insights into the healing journey.

 

I see life as a spiral of growth, healing, and rebirth—a process of becoming more aligned with who we truly are. My role is to support you in finding clarity, reclaiming your voice, and stepping into your authentic power. I’m here to walk with you through the darkness and into the light, knowing that every step holds meaning and every shadow holds a gift.

​

Thank you for taking this step toward your healing. It’s my honor to support you in uncovering deeper clarity, connection, and alignment on your journey.​
