Hi, I’m Vanessa Cameron, the Maven Alchemist.

My journey to acupuncture was sparked by a time of great transition and its accompanying health concerns: migraines, depression, and anxiety. Intuition led me to Reiki and Healing Touch…and then to acupuncture. I was surprised to discover that the 2,000+ year old medicine was aligned with my approach to illness and disease. Acupuncture so drastically changed my life and health, I knew that being an acupuncturist and guide to wellness was the life path I’d been searching for.

You’ll find that I use an intuitive approach, incorporating knowledge of the moon cycles, nervous system & trauma, energy healing, numerology, astrology, chakra system, and psychology into treatments. Because of my own lived experiences, I’m drawn to collaborating with clients who have mental health issues, trauma, women’s health, stress, and chronic pain; helping people through transitions; and assisting you to find balance & heal naturally.

I graduated from AOMA Graduate School of Integrative Medicine in 2012, am a nationally board certified Diplomate of Oriental Medicine by the NCCAOM, and am a licensed acupuncturist in Washington (AC61425022).

I am an Esoteric Acupuncturist,  Intuitive Wellness Coach, Aroma Point Therapist, Numerologist, and I AM Yoga Nidra Facilitator. A Marine veteran, I peer facilitate for a Vet-to-Vet Chronic Pain Research Study with the Denver VA, where I previously lived. 

In the fall of 2022, I moved to South Whidbey Island with my husband, rescue Doberman, and Brown Tabby. Maven Alchemy blends the many modalities, philosophies, and tools that I learned over the last 15 years on my healing journey that morphed into a parallel professional journey. The modalities I offer have helped me heal, shift, or understand something in my own life, so I offer them with the hope they might also help you heal, shift, or understand your own journey.

My Approach

Maven Alchemy blends the many modalities, philosophies, and tools that Vanessa learned over the last 15 years on her own healing journey that morphed into a parallel professional journey. She chose the modalities studied because she was searching to heal, shift, or understand something that she was experiencing herself. 

Let it go & move on

I help you navigate transitions, let go of what is no longer serving you, and find meaning and purpose in life events so that they can move forward and create the life that they envision. I’d love to share my simple magic for everyday life with you.

Find meaning & understanding

Feel assured that you are not alone in your journey. Many of us have common threads in our lives. When we collaborate, I create a space where you will feel seen, heard, & held. There is safety in co-regulating together so that you can gain insight & wisdom into your story.

Collaborate & create self-care

Collaboration is a key piece to our time together. You play an active role in your care & healing. Learning self-care practices that continue after our time together & is an important piece on your journey. True alchemy comes from within.
