At Holistic Alkemist we believe that holistic wellness is the key to a happy and healthy life. We are passionate about helping people achieve their wellness goals. Our holistic practitioner, Krista Giroux, CHT, LMT, EMT has over 20 years of experience helping people to heal with the use of meditation, energy work, herbal medicine, massage therapy and nutrition. This is a holistic approach to wellness, balancing the body, mind and spirit. A native to Canada, Krista grew up in a small rural area and was very much in tune with nature. She also learned how to keep the body healthy while training as a gymnast and ballet dancer for many years. Her love of plants and helping people drew her to study herbal medicine at the young age of 19. After her 4 year program in Clinical Herbal Therapy she proceeded to study meditation and energy healing for 13 years, massage therapy for a year and emergency medicine for another year. Krista worked for 20 years in holistic clinics, treating over 15,000 patients with herbal medicine, massage therapy, dietary advice and healing energy work. She also created her own beauty brand of natural skin care products. Krista resides on the islands of Maui and Bali, currently writing a natural beauty book and surfing the best waves in the world.
