Soma Sundays are live sessions with Anne-Marie Duchêne, Founder of Alchemēna. They will be held twice per month, with each session lasting 90 minutes.

Soma Sundays are designed to support you and provide live guidance on your healing journey, whether using Alchemēna pain pattern relief plans, in-person bodywork, or other healing modalities.

Anne-Marie will lead guided somatic experiences, teach on body-mind-emotion integration topics, and answer pre-submitted and live questions.

Each 90-minute session includes:

• Guided Somatic Experience (20 min): Anne-Marie leads you through breathwork, body scans, or gentle movement.
  
  

• Class on body-mind-emotion integration (40 min): Examples of topics include: stress impacts (headaches, gut issues), somatic symptoms (chronic pain from emotions), and trauma & fascia—how physical or emotional trauma creates fascial "knots" or adhesions that restrict movement and hold unresolved stress.
  
  

• Pre-Submitted Q&A (Approx. 15 min): Anne-Marie addresses thoughtfully selected questions submitted in advance.
  
  

• Live Q&A (Approx. 15 min): Real-time questions via Zoom chat with the opportunity for Anne-Marie to unmute participants for follow-ups when needed.

Soma Sundays will begin in mid-2026. Let us know you are interested by joining the waitlist using one of the buttons below. A month before launch we will notify you by email to activate your $29/mo. membership. The week before each Soma Sunday event you will receive a reminder email, a zoom link to join, and the chance to submit questions in advance.

Can't make it live? No problem. All sessions are recorded and available in your member portal within 24 hours. You can watch at your own pace. The complete library of past Soma Sunday recordings will be available to you as long as you maintain your membership.

All you need is a computer, tablet, or smartphone with internet access. Sessions are hosted on Zoom—no prior experience necessary. We recommend having your camera on for the somatic experience portion to get the most benefit, but it's optional.

These classes offer multiple benefits:

• Deepen your knowledge of your own condition and find real, lasting answers to your questions.

• Receive expert guidance from Anne-Marie Duchêne, who brings 30 years of experience as a coach and somatic practitioner. As founder of Alchemēna, a Certified Hellerwork Structural Integration Practitioner, Hellerwork International faculty member, and creator of the proprietary Alchemēna Pain Pattern methodology, she offers unparalleled depth in transformational bodywork.

• Build your understanding of the body-mind-spirit connection in practical, applicable ways.

• Access a growing library of educational content on demand.

• Connect with and learn from other members facing similar challenges.

• Discover how others are successfully navigating their healing journeys.

No. While Soma Sundays support members along their Pain Pattern Relief Plan, the teachings and somatic experiences are valuable for anyone committed to their healing journey and interested in deepening their body-mind-spirit integration.

All levels are welcome to Soma Sundays—from complete beginners to those deep in their healing journey. Anne-Marie, a Hellerwork Structural Integration Practitioner with 30 years of combined experience as a coach and somatic practitioner, designs each session to be accessible while offering depth for more experienced members. Each session builds on previous teachings while standing alone, so you can join at any time and benefit immediately.

Soma Sundays provide ongoing education, community support, and live access to Anne-Marie at an accessible monthly rate. For personalized guidance through your specific pain pattern, consider the Pain Pattern Relief Plan ($97) or the Total Body Transformation program (launching Q4 2026).

No special equipment required! Just comfortable clothing and a quiet space where you can move freely. A yoga mat is optional but recommended for floor-based somatic experiences.
