A Life of Exploration, Connection & Transformation
Hello, friend. I'm Maari Falsetto — founder of Inner Alchemy, lifelong explorer, ceremonialist, and someone who believes life is meant to be experienced with curiosity, an open heart, and a willingness to keep discovering what's possible.
My own journey has taken many turns. From a career in retail, marketing, and coffee to traveling the world, raising my two children, and exploring the spiritual traditions and healing practices that would change my life, I've learned that sometimes the most meaningful paths are the ones we never planned. When I returned to Seattle in 2000, I began following a deeper calling. My studies led me to become a licensed Spiritual Practitioner through Holmes Institute, a Shamanic Reiki Master Practitioner, Sound Healer, meditation guide, and ceremonialist. But more than any title, it's the lived experience — the questions, the challenges, the discoveries, and the people I've met along the way — that continues to shape my work.
I've always been drawn to the places where people come together and something shifts. A room full of people meditating. A circle sharing stories. A sacred site that takes your breath away. A conversation that opens a door you didn't even know was there. This is the heart of Inner Alchemy: creating experiences that bring us closer to ourselves, to one another, and to the wonder of being alive.
​
What began as a personal journey has grown into a vibrant community of seekers, healers, artists, teachers, travelers, and beautiful humans exploring life together. Through Inner Alchemy, I bring people together for sacred travel, healing arts, meaningful gatherings, and a little everyday magic. I don't believe we ever arrive at some final, perfected version of ourselves. We're always becoming. And I feel deeply grateful to create spaces where we can explore that becoming together — with curiosity, compassion, laughter, and plenty of room for the unexpected.
My private sessions include:
Shamanic Reiki is nature rooted and earth honoring and channels universal life force energy to release blockages throughout your entire body, to clean/clear/energize your chakras and connect you to your circle of resources: land, trees, mountains, spirit animals, elements, and ancestors. Deeply relaxing and restorative, with essential oils, crystals, quartz crystal sound bowls, Tibetan Sound Bowl, drums and rattles.
The awareness that an unseen energy flows through all living things and directly affects the quality of a person’s health has been part of the wisdom of many cultures since ancient times. This life energy goes by many names: qi in China, ki in Japan, and prana in India.
Shamanic Reiki is administered through the hands of a Reiki practitioner with the client lying on a massage table. A session lasts 90 minutes.
The Reiki practitioner places his or her hands at locations around the head and shoulders, the abdomen and on the legs and feet. Tissue is not manipulated. The practitioner’s hands are simply held at each location, lightly touching or slightly away from the body. Reiki energy flows from the practitioner’s hands and into the client’s body and energy field.
A Reiki session feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that surrounds and fills the client and includes feelings of relaxation, peace and well-being that also promotes healing. Reiki energy allows muscles to relax and increases blood flow to treated areas, which in turn quickens the healing process. Practitioners and clients report help with stress, headaches, insomnia, upset stomach, sprains and other conditions. Occasionally, miraculous results are reported. Reiki also promotes psychological healing, including release of anger, fear, worry, sadness and other unhealthy feelings, and replaces them with self-worth, confidence and tranquility.
Maari is a certified Shamanic Reiki Master with Shamanic Reiki Worldwide since 2016.

Crystal Light Therapy involves laying under a special light that is made of 7 extremely clear and highly polished Vogel cut quartz crystals suspended approximately 12 inches above the client lying on a massage table. Each of the quartz crystals has been cut to a specific frequency. Each crystal is aligned above one of the seven human energy centers or chakras. Colored lights, chosen to match the chakra colors, radiate light and energy through the crystals to each respective chakra, and shine on and off in certain rhythms to cleanse, balance, and align your energies.
As the color is transmitted through the crystal onto the corresponding chakra, the chakra is cleansed, energized, and brought into balance with all of the other chakras. This allows the other aspects of our self, whether it be mental, emotional or physical to be brought into balance. For when the chakras are out of balance, all the other aspects of ourselves will also be out of balance. Then as these subtle energies are brought into balance, the body’s own natural healing mechanisms are able to function as they were designed to do. The Crystal Bed Healing cleanses, balances opens, and recharges the body’s energy creating a deep relaxation. This healing modality is also sometimes referred to as a Crystal Bath.
You will lay comfortably on a massage table and receive 30 minutes of hands on reiki energy healing. Then the Crystal Lights will be turned on. You may feel a variety of sensations during and after sessions – pressure, weight, lightness, heaviness, hot, cold, wind, all manner of body sensations, tickling, tingling etc. The crystals can evoke feelings of peace and serenity, and typically a very deep relaxation. You may simply fall asleep and wake up feeling very refreshed and renewed. You may experience insights and release of specific personal issues and memories. You may have feelings of warmth, movement, expansion, cleansing, or a feeling of being touched. Some people feel sensations of physical healing taking place, as they feel the presence of the healing spirits working directly on their physical bodies. Your awareness may even extend beyond yourself to higher states of consciousness.
Many people who have had Crystal Bed Healing Sessions have reported some of the following:
- An increase of definitions in the senses (taste-food, sight-colors, touch-awareness)
- Feeling more energized – clear thoughts – ability to focus.
- Felling a deep relaxation – a connection to the earth and/or universe.
- Feeling more at peace within themselves – a balance of the chakras.
- Feeling less stressed and in increased sense of overall well-being – increase in health.
- A deeper spiritual understanding of themselves, and their life situation.
- Gaining insights into their future life path and the evolution of Mother Earth.
- Gaining insights of the cause of disease states – looking inward into personal health.
- Receiving guidance as to how to best deal with their disease or problems.
- Every person who receives a Crystal Light Therapy session will have their own experience which is relevant to their own condition, needs, and level of awareness. It is advisable to rest after a session and drink lots of water in order to fully integrate.

Sound has been utilized in various cultures for thousands of years as a tool for healing. It not only helps with inducing relaxation, but also has a way of moving through areas of blockage to move stagnant energy, release energy patterns and habits that are no longer serving you, and bring your body, mind and spirit back into alignment.
One of the best modalities to bring the body back to its natural state of harmony is sound and vibration from Himalayan chakra singing bowls. Placed on and around the body and struck or sung, the tones and frequencies emanated from these bowls creates a sympathetic resonance that affects the body on a cellular level. These vibrations spread as concentric waves into larger circles through the entire body and entrain the brain to move into a deep Theta state. The experience is one of absolute serenity as deep relaxation and soothing resonant sound opens the flow of energy and restores balance and well-being.
Sound healing is done with the recipient fully clothed and lying on a massage table or mat on the floor. Sessions include healing touch and placement of singing bowls on and around the body. The bowls will be struck or sung to create vibrational sound harmonics.
There are many benefits of healing through sound and vibration including:
Deep relaxation
Stress relief
Recovery from abuse and trauma
Healing from the effects of chemotherapy
Lowers blood pressure
Mental clarity
Clears and balances chakras
Heightens intuition and perception
Removes mental and emotional negativity
Improved sleep
Relieves pain and arthritis
Eases anger and depression
Reduces pain and discomfort from Fibromyalgia
Improved circulation
Enhances creativity
Maari was trained with Atma Buti® (Soul Medicine in Sanskrit) sound and vibrational school.

While I love the beauty of a single session, I'm especially passionate about the transformation that can happen when we commit to the journey over time. I offer 10-month, one-on-one journeys for just 10 people, creating a dedicated space for deeper exploration, ongoing support, and meaningful personal growth. It's an opportunity to give yourself something we so rarely make room for: consistent time and attention devoted to your own becoming.
​
And then there's Saturday morning meditation — one of the simplest and most meaningful ways I give back to this community. Every Saturday, I open the door and invite you to join me for a free shared meditation. No experience necessary, nothing to prove, nowhere else you need to be. Just a little time to breathe, reconnect, and remember that we don't have to do this life thing alone. Community is medicine, and there's always a place for you here.
Healing Is a Journey, Not a Destination
Over the years, I've come to believe that some of the most meaningful work we do is the work we do within ourselves. My private healing sessions offer a space to pause the outside world, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and tend to the parts of yourself asking for attention. Every session is unique because every person is unique. Together, we explore what you need in the moment, with curiosity, compassion, and no expectation that you need to arrive with it all figured out.
