What If Falling Apart Was Part of Becoming?
In nature, what dies becomes nourishment for new life.
What if the same were true for us?
Fertile Soil Alchemy is a three-month ceremonial journey inviting you to honor endings, release what no longer serves you and create fertile ground for the person you're becoming.
Through plant medicine education, ancestral wisdom, somatic practices, ceremony and community, we explore transformation without rushing toward rebirth.
You don't need to know what's next. You only need to begin.
The Three Cycles of Transformation
The Sacred Work of Decomposition
Meet the patterns, grief and inherited stories ready to be composted. Create space for release and transformation.
Cultivating Fertile Soil
Work with plant allies, flower essences and ancestral practices to tend to your inner landscape and nourish new possibilities.

Violet Santana-Burns, MS, is a clinical nutritionist, naturopath and the founder of PCOS With Violet. She earned her Master's in Nutrition Education from Columbia University, where she wrote her thesis on PCOS, and spent 15 years co-owning and practicing at two wellness centers in New York City, guiding clients through nutrition, colon hydrotherapy and cleansing.
Today, Violet supports women's health, with a focus on balancing blood sugar and insulin resistance, healing the gut, from bloating and constipation to food sensitivities, and preparing the body for pregnancy.
Her work is rooted in her own healing. Diagnosed with PCOS at 27, she spent years on medications and diets that didn't work. Then she stopped adding and started clearing. She removed her food sensitivities and made detoxing her body, meditation and energy work part of her life. Her cycles went from 63 days to 28, and she has been symptom-free for about eight years. She is also a Reiki practitioner and a homeschooling mom.
