Psychedelic Assisted Therapy

A passion of mine, that overlaps well with midwifery, is psychedelic assisted therapy. I feel blessed to have years of personal experience with some of these sacred medicines and feel that it is part of my path to support others in their explorations of themselves and the world with these tools. There is so much deep healing available to us in expanded states of consciousness. (Birth is an expanded state of consciousness too, as is pregnancy and postpartum). Similar to birth, I feel strongly about good preparation (prenatal care) and integration (post partum care). With psychedelic midwifery, I bring the same holistic framework and many of the same tools I have developed over the years with birth, along with some new ones.

My training for psychedelic midwifery includes: apprenticing with a mentor in one on one sessions the last handful of years, completion of a year long psychedelic guide training program with the Hanuman cohort in the East Bay, Integrative Somatic Trauma Healing Certification, Relational Somatic Healing training and my own personal work with the medicines and ritual space in general, over the years. Turns out going to births was excellent training as well! The body continues to lead the way for me. It is infinite in its wisdom and knowing. We can follow it together.

I currently offer preparation, guided sessions and integration counseling. Typically, we would work together over the course of months, to establish trust, build skills for journeying, explore material that you make conscious through your process and bring the transformation with you into your daily life. I’m happy to support you and help you deepen into your experience. I am honored to midwife you through your personal healing and I believe what we do ripples out to the collective.
