Preparation & Integration Services
I have been a specialist in Psychedelic Integration for the past 7 years.
My work is recognized by the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) and includes supporting people before and after they use plant medicines such as psilocybin or ayahuasca, or empathogens such as MDMA as ways of experiencing deep levels of healing and personal transformation.
I provide a psychological assessment to determine if people who are considering engaging in medicine work would be a good fit for the work. Medicine work is not for everyone. It is incredibly important to educate oneself before proceeding on this particular path.
Please note, I do not facilitate the medicine work nor will I refer people to facilitators.
My Process
Preparation may include harm reduction tools, psycho-education, intention setting, developing supportive practices, and strengthening one’s internal and external resources. Integration, which occurs post journey, involves working with the insights or qualities of experience gleaned from the journey and exploring ways to incorporate these learnings into one’s everyday reality. Integration may also benefit those who have had a challenging or difficult experience by safely working with and through the material elicited in the journey space.
The Benefits Of Intention
In order to get the most from a journey, there needs to be a commitment on the part of the journeyer to create space for mindful processing post journey, both at an individual level as well as in the context of a therapeutic or supportive relationship. Working with a skilled practitioner can make a huge difference to the outcomes of the journey work. It is important to note that the medicine work in not a magic wand, it is one step in an ongoing process. Having said that, people often refer to the medicine work as years of therapy in one sitting.
My practice is currently full and I’m not currently taking on new clients at this time.
