about naven

hey, my name is carla, founder of naven alchemy.

Naven was born from my own journey of healing. Through movement and sound, I found ways to reconnect with my body, process emotions, and create balance in my life. Now, I offer these same tools to those seeking relief from stress, burnout, or a deeper sense of self-awareness. My story is one of evolution—shaped by personal experience and a deep commitment to making healing accessible and transformative for others.

our story

A LIFE SHAPED BY MOVEMENT & SOUND

 

From an early age, I was immersed in movement and music. Dance and gymnastics shaped my connection to the body, while instruments like piano, ukulele, clarinet, and guitar deepened my understanding of sound. Singing became an instinctive form of self-expression and healing long before I recognized its deeper impact.

FINDING MY VOICE 

 

Encouraged by my mother and the church choir, I developed confidence in my voice. Without her advocating for me to be involved in the church choir and finding my voice there, I wouldn’t be where I am today. These experiences revealed the powerful relationship between sound and emotional well-being, sparking a lifelong exploration of how music and movement influence healing.

 

YOGA & SELF-HEALING

 

Struggling with physical and mental health challenges, I turned to yoga as a way to rebuild balance in my life. What began as a personal practice soon became a deeper calling. I pursued a teacher training rooted in equity and inclusion, understanding that at it's root if yoga meant unity then at the very least there can be no unity without an understanding of privilege & social justice. True healing must be accessible and culturally respectful.

 

THE MISSING PIECE: SOUND AS MEDICINE

 

Yoga brought structure, but something was still missing for me. Experiencing my first sound bath revealed a new layer of healing—one that spoke directly to the nervous system and subconscious mind. One that reminded me of my connection to sound, music & singing. Training in sound meditations at Kikospace, I combined movement and vibrational sound therapy to create a fully integrative healing approach.
