Make deeper meaning of your psychedelic journey into non-ordinary states of consciousness
Psychedelic integration coaching in the U.S. and abroad
-
“The key to growth is the introduction of higher states of consciousness into our awareness.”
-Lao Tzu
People who seek out peak experiences either for psychedelic healing and exploration or the pursuit of greater wholeness are brave and fiercely curious souls. The willingness to travel into uncharted territory to find deeper meaning in this life opens the door to rich self-discovery and deep interconnectedness.
If that’s you — welcome. You’re my kind of human.
But excavating the inner terrain that is revealed in non-ordinary states of consciousness sometimes takes more than willingness and bravery. Because let’s be honest — the unknown can be scary. While entheogenic medicines can catalyze feelings of bliss and unity, it can be confusing to process and interpret the material that unfolds.
My psychedelic therapy training at USCF, employment with Fireside Project, and participation in the MAPS study on MDMA as treatment for PTSD have all given me multiple vantage points from which to hold space and observe the power of non-ordinary states of consciousness.
As a result of my own personally transformative experiences I know first hand, the critical role of having a skilled and attuned ally along for the journey.
That’s why, alongside my trauma therapy practice, I offer psychedelic integration coaching for clients who seek personal growth through journeys into non-ordinary states of consciousness.
Alchemy through psychedelic integration coaching
Psychedelic experiences can produce a sense of amazement, awe, and deep emotional shifts that are often so big, they can be extremely difficult to put into words.
Awareness and awakenings may arise that, in the moment — and for a brief period after — feel as if they were so profound they’ll never leave you. Maybe you discover for the first time that, in spite of having lifelong struggles with self-esteem, you actually have inherent self-love and self-compassion that you had never been able to access before. What a paradigm shift!
But how do you apply these big insights to your day-to-day life? In moments where old patterns of self-judgment or self-abandonment crop back up, will you be able to reactivate the unconditional love that you felt within the experience? Because that’s where the lasting transformation can happen.
As a psychedelic integration coach, that is exactly what I help my clients do. We work together on preparation for your journey and integration afterwards. Using open discussion, journaling exercises, and application of archetypes and metaphor to seek deeper themes, you will make meaning of your experience in a way that can shift the way you navigate your life.

Is psychedelic integration coaching for me?
There’s evidence-based research that shows these experiences can inherently have a positive impact on your life in and of themselves.
But it is widely believed and understood that when we incorporate intentional preparation and integration, it transforms the experience from an interesting and stimulating experience into a vehicle and catalyst for creating lasting change in yourself and your life.
Integration builds a bridge for you to carry the bliss and ecstasy of the experience with you into your everyday life, long term.
