Elemental Alchemist

Exciting news! Zen Creations recently shipped a line of jewelry to a new shop that is opening soon in Jim Thorpe, PA. Read on for more info about this shop from one of my favorite blogs, Green Mom Green Baby:

September 27, 2011 Jim Thorpe, PA. Alchemy Inspires Transformation in Jim Thorpe. The economy might be down but Alchemy means new business on Race Street in Jim Thorpe. This October, the first Wellness Studio is set to open on Old Packer Row: Elemental Alchemist.


Elemental Alchemist is comprised of three wise women; Annemarie Balog (Reiki Master, Yoga Therapist), Selena Mazmanian (Soapstress, Formulator) and Michelle Gallagher (Medium, Spiritual Counselor) who came together coincidentally but with divine purpose in mind: to provide a space for the surrounding communities to attain information on self-healing and transformation. Each Alchemist also wants to introduce products and services that may assist in the promotion of overall personal wellness. All three women serve as Universal Ministers and are available to perform ceremonies upon request.
“Alchemy is an early form of chemistry that was not only meant to transform metals into gold but to discover life prolonging elixirs and universal cures for disease.” Gallagher notes. “The three of us are well aware that personal transformation is possible with enough inspiration and want to provide that opportunity for others.” Gallagher was introduced to Annemarie Balog when Balog bought her book Witch Wolf? The Curse (Amazon.com). Annemarie had an idea for Gallagher that involved Selena Mazmanian’s handcrafted products from 13th Moon Creations. One lunch meeting was all it took for Alchemy to take place. A space on Race Street presented itself within minutes and the three women decided that they would forge a partnership to inspire others on the spot.


Annemarie Balog a Reiki Master wants Elemental Alchemist to provide a seriously fun blending of mind, body and spirit connecting with the five universal elements: water, fire, earth, air & ether. She is also one of less than two- dozen people worldwide certified in Lakshmi Voelker Level II Chair Yoga an experience Gallagher says “That will lend the amazing benefits of Yoga to all ages, shapes, sizes and flexibility.”


Selena Mazmanian and her husband Dan knew that they had to quit their jobs and move to Jim Thorpe on a day trip they took two years ago. 13th Moon Creations has been Mazmanian’s after work and weekend passion. Her soaps, body butters, incense and oils have drawn curious people through the doors of Elemental Alchemist while the women were just setting up. It seems as if Elemental Alchemist is the perfect cauldron to see Selena’s dream comes true.


Elemental Alchemist’s Lending Library will circulate books on natural medicinal and home remedies, gardening, herbs, mediation and more. Other services The Alchemists will provide are: Reiki, Hatha Yoga, Lakshmi Voelker Chair Yoga, Yoga Therapy, Spiritual Counseling, Intuitive Readings, Oracle Consultations and craft and wellness courses. All three women want you to know “Everything we offer is for healing, protection or self love.”
Elemental Alchemist will open October 1st (11am-7pm). For more LIKE Elemental Alchemist on Facebook. For press info please call Michelle Gallagher at 570-954-4520.
