Soft Alchemy begins here.
I'm Stevie Reneé—a writer, meditation facilitator, embodiment educator, and multidisciplinary creative exploring the relationship between ritual, remembrance, creativity, and well-being.
Through storytelling, guided meditation, handmade adornments, and educational experiences, I create spaces that invite people to cultivate a more intentional relationship with themselves and their lives.
The throughline of my work is an ethos I call Soft Alchemy—a philosophy that emerged from my own lived experiences and the gradual shift from adaptation into alignment. It's the belief that meaningful change happens not through force or reinvention, but through presence, remembrance, and the practice of returning to yourself.

The connecting thread
Whether I'm writing an essay, guiding a meditation, designing a piece of jewelry, or sitting with someone one-to-one, I'm always interested in helping people cultivate a more intentional relationship with themselves.
I create from the belief that small, intentional practices shape the way we move through our lives. Rather than promising quick transformation, my work invites slower, steadier forms of change rooted in remembrance, creativity, and embodied presence.
What shapes my work
Meditation & contemplative practice
Meditation is the foundation of how I relate to myself and the world. It continuously reminds me that clarity often arrives in stillness and that awareness is a practice.
Ayurveda & Vedic philosophy
My studies as a Gaja-certified Ayurvedic health educator, meditation instructor, and well-being coach introduced me to practical ways of living in greater relationship with the body, the seasons, and the rhythms of life. These teachings continue to inform both my creative work and the way I hold space for others.
Storytelling
Long before I led meditation, storytelling was my first contemplative practice. Whether through journalism, essays, podcast conversations, or educational writing, I'm interested in stories that help us understand ourselves—and each other—with greater compassion.
Ancestral remembrance
As a Black queer woman born and raised in the United States, part of my ongoing practice has been reconnecting with ancestral traditions, lineages, and ways of knowing that colonial history attempted to sever. This continues to deepen my understanding of ritual, belonging, community, and care.

A growing library of digital tools and guided practices to return to when you need them.
A 55-card digital oracle deck for seekers and sensitives ready to deepen their relationship with their body, breath, and truth.
Soft Inquiries is a gentle companion for the inner journey. Designed by me as part of my own spiritual and embodiment practice, it invites a slower, more intimate relationship with your inner world, wherever you are in your process.
Each card offers:
• a soul-rooted message
• a “Soft Inquiry” journaling prompt
• a gentle invitation back into presence, intuition, and steadiness
Soft Inquiries is a divination tool in the truest sense, not for predicting outcomes, but for strengthening your relationship with your own knowing. Each card opens a pathway into yourself: the felt wisdom beneath the mind, the sensations that speak before words, and the quiet clarity that rises when you tune in. Like tarot and other intuitive practices, this deck supports honest self-listening rather than searching outward for answers.
This deck is designed to be used digitally or printed for personal practice—there is no single right way to work with it. Use Soft Inquiries during meditation, journaling, breathwork, energy work, daily pulls, ritual openings, somatic check-ins, moon cycles, creative blocks, or ancestral work—any moment when you want to anchor into steadiness, insight, or a deeper embodied presence.
Soft Inquiries is intentionally designed with warm, earthy tones, a soft inner glow, and rounded edges to create a calming, embodied visual experience that feels comfortable to hold and read. Each card is delivered in high-resolution PNG format with transparent backgrounds for flexible use across devices and apps.
Perfect for:
iPad journaling • phone albums • morning rituals • GoodNotes • Notion • altar spaces • quiet moments of reflection

A softly crafted, personalized meditation created just for you—a piece of grounding and inner remembrance to return to as you deepen into your next season.
This is not a generic guided audio track. It’s an attuned, intuitive offering shaped from your intention, your current season, and what rises beneath the surface of your words. Before recording, I sit with your intake form and attune to the patterns and themes present in your current season, drawing gently from Vedic wisdom—Ayurveda and subtle astrological and numerological themes inspired by the Vedic tradition—alongside my intuitive practice.
The meditation opens with a brief intuitive read—a tender message that may come through as imagery, language, or sensation. It isn’t predictive, but it’s deeply attuned to where your spirit is asking for support.
From there, I guide you into a longer meditation designed to settle your system, clarify your focus, and reconnect you to your inner steadiness. The tone is warm, steady, and grounding—similar to my guided meditations on YouTube, but created specifically for you.
This offering is ideal if you’re moving through a transition, integrating growth, or wanting a ritual companion crafted specifically for your current chapter. Use this meditation whenever you need to hear yourself again, or to remember the steadiness waiting beneath the noise.
What you’ll receive
• a 25–30 minute custom pre-recorded meditation
• a brief intuitive message woven into the beginning
• grounding, breathwork, and visualization tailored to your intention
• a recording you can revisit anytime you need to re-center
• a thoughtfully designed 1-page PDF with 2–3 simple ritual or grounding suggestions to support integration—informed by your intention, the energetic season you’re moving through, and the subtle Vedic threads revealed in your intake responses
Before checkout
You’ll be prompted to complete a short form with a few reflective questions to help me tune in. Share whatever feels most true and present. I’ll begin recording once I receive your form, and your meditation will arrive in your inbox within 7-10 business days.
Please note
This offering is available for up to 5 clients each month to honor the depth and presence this work requires. Additionally, this meditation and its accompanying ritual notes are spiritual in nature and not a substitute for medical or therapeutic care. See Disclaimer for additional details.
