Melanie Dagenais | Founder of Alchemy Hearts

Melanie Dagenais is a passionate traveler, intuitive guide, and the founder of Alchemy Hearts, a space dedicated to personal growth, healing, and soulful transformation. Born near Montreal, Canada, Melanie is a French native whose journey has taken her across the globe—from the lush lands of Hawaii to the depths of South America, where she lived and studied for several transformative years.

With over two decades of experience in the wellness world, Melanie brings a unique fusion of wisdom and embodiment to her work. She is a yogi, holistic coach, retreat facilitator, alchemist, and macrobiotic counselor, known for holding sacred, heart-centered spaces where individuals can reconnect with their essence and live in alignment with their soul's truth.

Her spiritual path began after a life-altering snowboard accident at the age of 18. What could have been an ending became a profound beginning, leading her to Ashtanga Yoga and opening the door to a lifelong spiritual awakening. Since 2012, she has also worked closely with plant medicine, including Ayahuasca, honoring its ability to catalyze deep healing and expand consciousness.

Melanie’s retreats are rooted in integrity, presence, and radical self-expression. She creates loving, intentional containers where people feel safe to surrender, explore, and release layers of conditioning. Her work invites others to break free from conformity and step into their full, authentic power.

Having lived what feels like twenty lives in one, Melanie’s story is not just about healing, it’s about remembering who we are beneath the noise, and reclaiming the freedom to live from the heart.
