al-che-mize (al-kuh-mahyz), v.t., -mized, -mizing. to change by or as by alchemy; transmute (to change from one nature, substance, form, or condition into another; transform):

Scott Hooyman“While I do not boast the magic that alchemy suggests, my experience, both professional and personal, has been that when individuals seeking help are able to engage in therapy that is both compassionate and scientifically proven to be effective, the change can be miraculously transformative; no longer weighed down by the lead of your former self, the gold of the true self is revealed.”
