“There is only one journey. Going inside yourself.”
— Rainer Maria Rilke

The journey inward takes many forms. Sometimes we arrive there slowly, through years of meditation or therapy. Sometimes we are thrust there suddenly—through ceremony, medicine, breathwork, or spontaneous spiritual opening.

Altered states of consciousness—whether induced by psychedelics, meditation, breathwork, or ecstatic experience—can reveal truths about yourself and the nature of reality that ordinary awareness cannot access. They can dissolve the boundaries of self, offer visions of beauty or terror.

The journey doesn't end when the experience does. Without proper preparation and integration we might be left feeling isolated, destabilized afterward, or unable to translate the experience into lasting change. But tended to properly these journeys can be profoundly healing and transformative.

Preparation & Container

If you are preparing for a psychedelic journey—whether in a therapeutic, ceremonial, or personal context—the work we do beforehand matters deeply.

We clarify your intentions: What are you seeking? What questions are you bringing? What do you hope to discover—or what are you afraid of encountering? We also attend to your psychological readiness: Are there unresolved traumas that need tending first? What support structures do you have in place? How grounded are you in your body and in your life?

Preparation is about creating a strong enough container to hold whatever arises—going in with clear eyes, with respect for the process, and with awareness that these medicines are catalysts that amplify what is already present, not magic bullets.

Integration & Embodiment

The real work often begins after the experience. You may return feeling expanded yet raw, confused or overwhelmed. Or with visions and insights that feel profound but elusive and already fading. Altered states take us beyond the ordinary—but we must return.

Integration is as much about grounding as transcendence. It is the process of bringing those insights into lived reality—allowing the experience to shift you not just in the moment, but in the days, weeks, and months that follow. We explore what you encountered: What moved you, frightened you, broke you open? What powerful truths were revealed? What were the key insights and how to translate these into lasting change? 

A Note on My Role

I do not provide or facilitate psychedelic substances. This is preparation and integration therapy only.
