I approach being your guide as a role of service. I walk beside you as someone who has traveled similar terrain. Your path is your own, but I am at home in new and evocative inner territory, and my job is to serve your needs and your best possible outcome.

In practice, a guide prepares you for an expanded state of consciousness, supports you through it, and helps you integrate what comes up afterward. Safety is the foundation of every session. Before we begin, you complete a thorough medical and psychological screening, and we establish clear boundaries and informed consent. I am with you for the entire session, attending to your physical and emotional state and to your needs.

Taking psychedelics with trusted people can be meaningful, and I don't discourage it. A trained guide adds structure, safety and depth.

Working with a guide includes medical and psychological screening (including medication interactions), structured preparation and intention setting, trained support through challenging states, and integration that turns insight into lasting change. I remain sober and fully present for every session.

The setting matters as much as the support. A container that is energetically clear and prepared for you, where every part of you is welcome and attended to, makes it possible to go deeper than most people can on their own or with friends.

No. My work is not clinical therapy, and I am not a licensed therapist. I don't diagnose or treat mental health conditions. Journey Work is a facilitated process of preparation, ceremony and integration. Many people I work with keep seeing their therapist alongside our work, and with your permission I'm glad to coordinate with your care team.

Much of my work outside ceremony is coaching. Therapy often looks at the past to understand and treat symptoms. Coaching is collaborative and looks forward: we clarify what you want, turn insight into concrete steps, and build the practices and support that help change last. You can read more on the Journey Work page.

Integration is where insight becomes embodied practice. A psychedelic experience can bring clarity, but clarity alone rarely changes behavior. Lasting change comes from clear intention, repeated practice and decisive action.

Research suggests psychedelics may open a window of increased neuroplasticity, when the brain is more able to form new patterns. Integration makes deliberate use of that window. We name the habits, relationships and beliefs you want to change, and build specific practices to reinforce them.

Integration begins before any medicine is taken. Screening and preparation lay the foundation the experience lands on.

It depends on the offering.

Journey Work has four phases: a free 30-minute Connection Call; preparation, which includes intake, medical and medication screening, intention setting and two preparation sessions; the ceremony; and at least two integration sessions. One full arc usually takes two to three months.

ThetaDrop is a six-week group journey with preparation and integration built in.

Breathwork is a self-contained session, either a group class or a private session. It doesn't require separate preparation or integration sessions, although private breathwork can be part of a longer process.

Most people come back. Journey Work is an ongoing process, not a one-time event, and many clients work with me over months or years.

This work is for adults who are curious about how psychedelics can support their wellbeing and mental health, and who sense there is more available to them. Many have done therapy or other inner work, but that isn't required. You don't need to be in crisis.

A mental health diagnosis or current medication doesn't automatically disqualify you. I regularly work alongside psychotherapists, prescribing physicians and bodyworkers. Some medications interact with psychedelics or are contraindicated, and any change to your medication must be managed by your prescriber.

This work is not appropriate for people in acute mental health crisis or with active suicidality, untreated psychosis, severe instability, or certain heart or other medical conditions. Screening determines whether you're eligible.

No. You don't need any experience with breathwork or psychedelics. Some of the people I work with have sat in ceremony many times, and others are completely new. Preparation is tailored to where you're starting.

You don't need to hold any particular beliefs either. My work draws on more than twenty years of personal embodiment practice (yoga, meditation and breathwork), my background in intuitive leadership development, trauma-informed and nervous-system-based training, and my training in the Mazatec lineage, a matriarchal tradition. I'll meet you in whatever orientation feels true to you, whether that's spiritual, psychological or practical.

Yes. My work is grounded in the nervous system. When we feel unsafe, the body shifts into protective states such as fight, flight, freeze or shutdown, and deep work can't land well from there. So we build regulation first, using breath, orientation, pacing and body awareness, so that what surfaces can be met rather than overwhelming you.

In practice, that means you set the pace and nothing is forced. Consent is revisited throughout the process, not given once and assumed. Breakthroughs are not the goal. Building lasting capacity is.

Each offering is a different doorway into the same work. Breathwork is a somatic practice that works directly with the nervous system, in group classes or private sessions. ThetaDrop is a six-week ceremonial microdosing journey held in community, weaving research, ritual, and connection. Journey Work is private, one-to-one guided ceremony with full preparation and integration. Gather holds retreats, ceremonies, and ongoing community.

Not sure where to begin? Find Your Path walks through each one, or we can sort it out together on a Connection Call.

Yes. I hold retreats, ceremonies and group journeys throughout the year, online and in person. Current offerings are listed on Gather. To hear about new dates first, join the newsletter at the bottom of any page.

Both. I see clients in person in Colorado and Hawaii, and I often travel to clients. Licensed psilocybin administration sessions take place at Reflective Healing Center, a licensed healing center in Fort Collins, Colorado. Clients from out of state travel only for that session.

Preparation and integration sessions and private coaching are usually held online. Breathwork is offered both online and in person.

Every path begins with a conversation. Book a complimentary Connection Call, a space to meet, share what is calling you, and sense together what might serve. There is no pressure and no commitment. Just a first step.
