About Alphyniex Finance
Alphyniex Finance exists at the intersection of evidence-based financial planning and mindful living. We believe that building wealth isn't just about spreadsheets and returns—it's about understanding your relationship with money, aligning your finances with your values, and creating systems that support both financial health and personal well-being.
Our Mission
Personal finance advice is everywhere, but most of it ignores the human element. We make decisions about money based on emotions, habits, and deeply held beliefs—many of which operate below conscious awareness. Alphyniex Finance bridges this gap by combining rigorous financial principles with insights from behavioral psychology and mindfulness research.
Every article we publish is:
- Evidence-based — grounded in peer-reviewed research and established financial principles
- Practical — designed to be implemented immediately, not just read
- Holistic — addressing both the numbers and the psychology behind financial decisions
Meet the Author
Sarah Chen, CFP®
Certified Financial Planner™ | Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Teacher
Sarah spent 12 years as a financial advisor at traditional firms before realizing that the biggest obstacles to her clients' financial success weren't lack of knowledge—they were emotional patterns, habitual behaviors, and misaligned values.
After completing MBSR training at the Center for Mindfulness at UMass Medical School, she developed a practice that integrates evidence-based financial planning with mindfulness techniques. Her work has been featured in Financial Planning Magazine and Think Advisor.
Sarah holds a B.S. in Finance from Boston College and is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional. She is also a certified yoga instructor and has studied Buddhist philosophy for over 15 years.
