Compassionate Inquiry Practitioner w/ a specialty in Psychedelic Integration: I support people in the process of healing and reconnecting with their whole, authentic Selves, and to live and create from this alignment.
My dad was sick for a long time when I was growing up, and his process of facing and embracing death greatly shaped me and my approach to life. He showed me how to live in awe and recognition of the divine in all things, and of this precious life we are each gifted. His process also sparked my personal journey and search to understand life, death, place, belonging, home, and everything in between and beyond. In this search, I came upon extraordinary and ordinary travels, experiences and teachings, and an avalanche of learnings, turning my life into a beautiful, endless process of integration.
Sharing from my heart while making my own way back home, I translated this life experience into a mission of bringing the sacred (back) into the everyday, and honoring life by supporting myself and others in coming back home, again and again, to our whole, soulful, authentic selves, and from this place, fully expressing, creating and bringing forth the gifts we are each here to share, for the benefit of ourselves, our communities, our environments and beyond.
In addition to supporting entheogenic integration, I am an endless student, practitioner, and teacher of nondual tantra-based yoga, movement, and meditation. I see therapeutic work and entheogenic integration as inextricably intertwined and supported by explorations through the body, meditation, movement, and yogic philosophies.
My approach combines Gabor Maté's trauma-focused and somatically-rooted Compassionate Inquiry*, with Internal Family Systems (Parts work), ontological life coaching, Nondual Tantra-based yoga, movement, and meditation, and infused with endless learnings and inspiration from the great teacher that is mother nature.
My deep dive into the psychedelic space began in 2012, when a friend suggested we volunteer for a psychedelics conference in New York, called Horizons. In the years that followed, I explored in all the ways I could -- through conferences, talks, salons, harm reduction volunteering, research reviews, consultation groups, trainings, travels, gatherings with and learnings from nature-based indigenous cultures and practices. For over a decade, I have been gathering tools from all these experiences and teaching containers, which I draw upon to inform the support I offer.
I work with clients in preparing for psychedelic experiences and clarifying intentions prior, in drawing deeper understanding and insights from their experiences (not only with psychedelic medicines), in healing from possible traumas resurfaced, in inquiring into and shifting patterns and limiting beliefs, in apply learnings and insights from psychedelic experiences into daily life and shifts, in harm reduction and accountability, and ultimately, in coming more into their authenticity, and living and expressing from here.
Sessions may include meditations and grounding exercises, accompanied exploration and guidance through coaching conversations, as applicable, trauma-focused Compassionate Inquiry, IFS parts work, yoga asana and pranayama, and support in the development of relevant rituals, practices, and accountability structures.
