Ty Stevenson
Founder & Holistic Practitioner
Marine · Brewer · Yogi · CTO · Altea Alchemy
Ty Stevenson is the founder of Altea Alchemy, a private holistic wellness practice on the Costa Blanca in Spain. He is a Reiki Level 1 practitioner, a 200-hour yoga teacher trained in the Himalayan tradition in Rishikesh, India, and an Ayurvedic practitioner.
His path to wellness was not direct. It ran through the United States Marine Corps, a business degree, professional brewing across five countries, a decade as a CTO and founder in technology, and six years deep in the esoteric — tarot, crystals, sacred geometry, and the occult. Altea Alchemy is the synthesis.
Based in Altea, Costa Blanca, Spain. Teaching and practicing in English. All sessions at your home, a mutually agreed location, or online. Serving the expat and retiree community along the Marina Baixa coast.
The Path
Six chapters, one life
01
The Marine
At 17, Ty enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. The Corps taught him discipline, resilience, and a mission-first mindset that would carry through every chapter of his life. Service came first. The team came first. The objective came first.
02
The Brewer
After his service, he earned a degree in Business Administration from Sonoma State University, then chased a passion across continents — brewing professionally and consulting for breweries in over five countries. The craft taught him patience, alchemy, and the art of transformation through process. Grain became beer. Time did the work.
03
The Yogi
A deeper calling led him to Rishikesh, India, where he completed his 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training. There, immersed in the source of the practice, he found what the brewery had hinted at: true transformation is not a product, it is a practice. The mat is not where you go to escape. It is where you go to return.
04
The Seeker
The esoteric had always been there. In 2021, Ty earned his Reiki Level 1 certification, opening the door to energy work. He completed the Awakening the Illuminated Heart workshop, a heart-opening course rooted in ancient sacred geometry and consciousness practices. For six years he has read tarot, studied the occult, philosophy, and metaphysics, and worked with crystals. For over ten years, he has read a book a week — over 300 books deep into non-fiction, many read multiple times over. Always drawn to the hidden architecture beneath the visible world.
05
The Builder
A decade in technology as a CTO and founder followed, building systems, scaling teams, shipping products. But the ancient practices never left. The same mind that architected software could feel the architecture of energy. The same discipline that shipped code could hold a meditation seat for an hour without moving.
06
The Founder
In 2026, Ty brought it all together: the discipline of a Marine, the patience of a brewer, and the practice of a yogi who has spent six years on the esoteric path. Altea Alchemy was born — a private holistic wellness practice on the Costa Blanca, serving English-speaking expats and retirees who finally have the time to do the inner work they deferred for decades.

Philosophy & Approach
Practice, not treatment
These practices are not a treatment you receive once. They are a discipline you carry for the rest of your life. Altea Alchemy exists to hand you that discipline.
One person at a time
Every session is private, focused, and yours alone. No spa aesthetics, no spiritual performance. Just the work, one human to another.
Ancient roots, modern life
Reiki from Japan. Yoga from the Himalayas. Ayurveda from India. Tarot from medieval Europe. We honor where these practices come from, with respect and no dilution — and we bring them to people living modern lives on the Mediterranean coast.
The long game
Our clients are people in their second half of life: retirees, expats, seekers who finally have time to do the inner work they deferred for decades. We are not here for quick fixes. We are here for the rest of your life.
“These practices are not a treatment you receive once. They are a discipline you carry for the rest of your life. Altea Alchemy exists to hand you that discipline.”
