Black Orchid Alchemy

Tired of waiting for the Recovery from Depression that everyone keeps talking about?

Do you even know who you’d be without your Depression?

WOULD YOU LIKE TO FIND OUT?

Which bout of Depression has been your worst so far?

Mine was when I walked out in front of a bus in the central business district of the city I was living in at the time.

No. Mine was when I smashed an empty bottle of wine and tried to cut my wrists with it, while I was drunk.

No. Mine was that time when I stayed in bed for 3 days because I just couldn’t stay awake.

No. Mine was that night when I had to get out of bed at 2am to pick up a library book from the floor because I couldn’t stand the thought that it wasn’t in its usual place.

Or maybe it was the time I was absolutely convinced that my best friend was dead, for no reason at all. Or maybe the time everything was going well in my life, and I suddenly started crying and couldn’t stop for a week.

Or maybe…

So many episodes, and so many times I thought “I’ve beaten it this time. I’ll never get depressed again.”

Now, I know that’s not true.

Now I know that the demon Depression is always there, lurking in the background, ready to pounce as soon as I let my guard down a little.

I know I’ll always have to be aware of it. I’ll always have to be prepared for it. And I’ll always have days when it’s all too fucking hard.

I also know that there’s always a chance it will spring up at me unexpectedly, no matter what I do to stave it off.

Depression has been part of my life since childhood and as I’m 52 years old at the time of writing, I know it’s always going to be a part of my life.

Because it is a dance, you know.

A very fine balance between enjoying the good days without worrying about when a bad day’s going to hit and coping with the bad days without letting them overtake you.

You name it, I tried it

And you know what worked?

All of it.

​And none of it.

Learning how to manage your Depression in a way that flows naturally for you, is the key to busting open your creativity and finally having that full, rich, life that you’ve always craved.

Since figuring this shit out, I’ve gone on to create my own Creature of Fucking Beauty. I’m writing a novel. It’s a vampire novel about childless women. And yes, I am aware of just how weird that sounds.

But, facing up to the fact that I’ll never be a mother was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do and I could so easily have given into the demon and let the Depression win.

Instead, I chose to take all the wisdom I’d learned over the years from my Depression, mix it with this new, extremely raw, pain and alchemize it into a book. My legacy.

And in the process, I rediscovered the sheer joy of creating.

I found a love for life that I never thought I would again.

I found a reason to get out of bed in the morning. Not only that, an excitement for the day ahead.

That’s why I created:

Consider this your open doorway to the life you were meant to have

before the Depression kicked in

(YES, THERE WAS A “BEFORE”)

• Be excited about what’s coming next in your life, without having to force yourself to care.

• Enjoy the good moments in your life without fear of when it’s all going to turn to shit again.

• Know that friends and family love having you around even if your Depression makes you think that you’re a burden

• Be successful in everything you choose to do without having to follow anyone else’s treatment plan

• Have money to do all the things that other people do without guilt, shame or a sense of “I’ll pay for this.”

• Get, or create, your dream job so that you can contribute to your community in a way that’s meaningful to you

• Treat your Depression, your way, and in your time (using alternative therapies that appeal to your soul)

FIND A COMMUNITY, A PASSION, SOME FUN, AND A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP WITH YOURSELF

SO THAT YOU CAN BUILD THE LIFE YOU WERE ALWAYS MEANT TO HAVE.

What’s the Orchid Formula?

ORCHID is the formula I used to create the fulfilling life that I have now.

Orchid is:

• Owning your health

• Reconnecting with yourself

• Core knowledge

• Holistic therapies

• Inspirations & Truth

• Doing. It. Now.

Within these categories we have things like tarot therapy, aromatherapy, crystal therapy, planning and goal-setting, meditations, managing shit days, self-esteem and confidence building.​

All of these (and more) are offered. None are compulsory. We show you the options, how to implement those options and you choose the way you want to go. We only ask that you keep an open mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT’S A CREATURE OF FUCKING BEAUTY?

My favorite! Your CFB is the thing you create from your Depression. For me, it’s the Vampire novel I’m currently writing. For you it may be your own book, a piece of art, clothing you make, a recipe, a garden plot…the possibilities are endless.

The important thing to remember is that your CFB is how you express yourself. And you use your Depression, in whatever way that works for you, to create that magnificent thing of beauty

IS THERE A MONEY BACK GUARANTEE?

Due to the nature of the information in Black Orchid Alchemy, I can’t offer you a money back guarantee. Black Orchid Alchemy is a closed community and I personally vet everyone that becomes a member. That’s because I need to know that you’re ready and willing to do the work that’s needed to make this shift happen for you.

Although you’ll begin to feel the benefits of your membership almost immediately, it takes time to work through this process. In my opinion, you need to commit to at least a year of learning, trying, and testing all of the information and support you find here.

WHAT IF MY DOCTOR, FRIENDS, OR FAMILY DON’T APPROVE OF THIS?

Let me put this politely, who fucking cares? This is your health, your brain, your mind, you can do what you like with it. Disapproval from others is not a reason not to do something.

After saying that, I find that most people disapprove of things they don’t understand. You can try explaining to them what we do here or by all means, ask them to email me and I’ll be happy to chat to them. There’s nothing in this membership that’s illegal or immoral, it’s all safe.​

WHAT IF I HAVE AN EPISODE OF DEPRESSION WHILE I’M IN THE PROGRAM?

Hopefully, you’ll already have a plan in place for when this happens. And yes, it happens to most of us. One of the things we do in Black Orchid Alchemy is create our own plans for when the shit days happen. All you have to do is follow that plan and get back involved when you are well enough.

WHAT IF I HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY OF THE INFORMATION OR MATERIAL IN THE PROGRAM?

We’ve got plenty of support available. You can email me, or any of the team, or you can ask questions in the chat forum. That’s the beauty of programs like this, you’re as involved as you want to be, when you want to be.

DO YOU HAVE ANY QUALIFICATIONS TO HELP PEOPLE MANAGE DEPRESSION?

Oh yes. I have a BA in Psychology, a National Certificate in Mental Health Support Work, and over 25 years work experience in the mental health, alcohol and other drug services. As a support worker, risk assessor and service coordinator.

More importantly, I’ve had Depression since I was 9 years old. The demon and I are old frenemies. I live this shit. Just like you.

Here’s where everything changes for you. In the next few minutes, you’ll be inside the members only area of Black Orchid Alchemy! You’ll have instant access to the information that’s already in there and ongoing access to the mini-courses, tutorials and worksheets that I upload every week.

By the end of the first month, you’ll be well on your way to your new life. In fact, you’ll probably be experiencing the benefits after our first live call.

I can’t wait to see what you do with your life, now that you have the tools to manage it!
