Philosophy

Modern Alchemy™ is both a system and a philosophy of transformational healing, created to fuse ancient wisdom, energetic mastery, and sacred ritual.
It is a pathway to liberation, holistic wellbeing, and the full embodiment of your soul’s purpose.

Innovative Modalities

Adora is the creator of two pioneering healing modalities: Aromatic Neural Repatterning™, a technique that combines high-frequency essential oils with guided inner work to release subconscious imprints and rewire thought patterns; and Essential Oil-Based Tapping, which merges the power of EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) with vibrational plant medicine to accelerate emotional clearing and energetic integration.

A Modern Alchemist

AdoraWinquist-DNA-book-cover.jpg

I bridge the worlds of plant wisdom, vibrational healing, and spiritual science to guide transformational journeys of self-remembrance and soul reclamation. As a Modern Alchemist, I work with frequency, ritual, and energetic precision to help individuals awaken their inner light, transmute trauma, and embody their highest potential—mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and ancestrally.

About Adora

Adora Winquist is a modern-day alchemist and internationally renowned pioneer in vibrational medicine, energy healing, and essential oil alchemy. For over three decades, this sacred visionary has united the ancient wisdom of the Earth with leading-edge spiritual science to offer profound pathways of personal and planetary healing.

As an award winning essential oil formulator and entrepreneur, Adora has founded multiple award-winning brands, led global retreats, formulated industry-first wellness products, and supported thousands in reclaiming their wholeness.

From blending herbal teas on Cape Cod to studying metaphysics, aromatherapy, and shamanic practices around the world, Adora’s journey has always followed the call of the Earth and the whispers of Spirit. As a graduate of the Barbara Brennan School of Healing and instructor of Hands of Light, Adora credits her many mentors along the path instrumental to her success.

Her healing path unfolded in tandem with her entrepreneurial spirit—creating the first chakra-balancing aromatherapy sprays sold in Whole Foods and building Rhiamon Energy Essentials, Adoratherapy, and Opus Gaia. Her formulations became known for their energetic potency and transformative effects, drawing from essential oils, gem and flower essences, and vibrational frequencies.

Adora is the creator of Modern Alchemy, a groundbreaking psycho-spiritual system for healing and awakening. Rooted in five pillars—Self-Love, Self-Responsibility, Self-Awareness, Self-Accountability, and Self-Liberation—Modern Alchemy fuses ancient initiation with modern science to offer a path of remembrance, empowerment, and embodied love.

In 2019, Adora founded The Soul Institute, a healing source of spiritual science dedicated to evolving uplifting 25 million individuals to find, live and thrive in their soul purpose. It houses transformative programs such as The Rose Codes, sacred pilgrimages to France through the Magdalene Rose Lineage, and community-led healing for trauma, grief, and soul reclamation.

In 2021, Adora Winquist launched The Elixirs for Quantum Living, The first collection of nanoparticle essential oil formulas expertly crafted and paired with proprietary CBD and gem elixirs. This groundbreaking trinity is tailored to optimize energy levels, enhance mood, and improve sleep quality.

After serving as the Director of Aromatherapy at the Veterans Healing Farm from 2018-2020, she co-founded Mil Spec Formulas, bringing aromatherapeutic support and innovative vibrational medicine based protocols for mental health and holistic wellness to the military community and their families. This brand of Tactical Alchemy was launched at the 2025 Invictus Games in Vancouver, BC to to over 500 wounded warrior athletes and their families from 23 countries. 

Adora is the co-author of Detox Nourish Activate: Plant & Vibrational Medicine for Energy, Mood, and Love, named a “Most Notable Book of 2021” by Spy Magazine and is sought globally for her expert contributions to many prominent media outlets including, Women’s Health Magazine, Martha Stewart, CNN, Healthline, and more. Her next book, to be published by Balboa Press (Hay House), arrives in Fall 2025.

Whether she’s formulating frequency-infused essential oils, mentoring spiritual leaders, or leading global ceremonies rooted in soul remembrance, Adora Winquist remains unwavering in her devotion to elevating the global wellness landscape. Her work flows through four foundational pillars—Professional, Educational, Commercial, and Non-Profit—each designed to catalyze individual and collective transformation. Through these pillars, Adora and her organization offer an integrated ecosystem of holistic education, trauma-informed healing, sacred leadership, conscious commerce, and humanitarian outreach. From keynote addresses and personalized mentorship to immersive retreats, advanced vibrational medicine, and next-generation plant therapies—every offering is an invitation to awaken, transform, and actualize who you truly are.
