Our everyday life is driven by the unconscious mind,
yet we attempt to manage it through rational faculties alone.
The aim of Psychosomatic Alchemy is realizing outer goals
through Shadow Integration, whose domain is the unconscious.
Shadow integration coaching
"Head Castle" by Yaroslav Gerzhedovich
Imagine your mind is a castle!
Some rooms are clean and organized, with lots of natural light. Others, such as basement and attic, have little to no light; they are covered with dusty corners and chests full of old memories that, though forgotten, occupy space and create clutter.
Shadow integration coaching is like castle remodeling.
We replace the lightbulbs in all the dark rooms, install new windows, clean out the cobwebs, and investigate the contents in those old treasure chests. What no longer serves is discarded, and the rest is arranged on shelves. Other rooms are equally refreshed and redecorated, creating a more practical, user-friendly environment.
These rooms represent our conscious and unconscious minds. Light is the metaphor for awareness, darkness for ignorance. Chests are filled with unresolved childhood imprints still impacting our perception.
Through Shadow work we liberate much space in our mind-castle making all rooms accessible and optimized. New energy and natural light can flow all throughout, making our life and work flow too with greater ease.
“The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.”
ABOUT LANA
Lana's passion to understand the subtle workings of the mind and expand human potential led her to engage in intensive study and practice of various psycho-spiritual models. As a result she left her career in design and became certified in multiple coaching and therapeutic modalities such as Contemplative Therapy, Compassion-Based Resilience Training (CBRT), Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Neo-Ericksonian Hypnotherapy and holistic health coaching.
She combines these therapeutic models with philosophies and disciplines, of Eastern and Western alchemy traditions, such as Vajrayana Buddhism and Western Hermetic tradition, into which she has been formally initiated for the past two decades.

SUCCESS STORIES
R. Burdick
“Lana is much more than an NLP coach, she is a Life Coach in every sense of the meaning. She has helped me immensely spiritually, mentally, and physically. She taught me about the Kaizen Way and how to truly change your habits one small step at a time. She taught me many different approaches to meditation and staying present.”
J.D. Fleishman
“Through Lana's coaching I was able to initiate an exercise program that continues to this day, magically alleviate heartburn and lose 16lbs from this 63 year old body. I feel better than I did at 30!”
D. Hay
“With her strong yet easy-going, positive and down-to-earth nature she knew how to bring out the true ME, and she was able to do so without making it feel like a big challenge. I have used my newly gained confidence to pursue my dreams – such as traveling to distant countries and visiting reindeer tribes of Mongolia.”
