Psychedelic Support

Emerging research in science and medicine points to the value of psychedelics as tools for exploring emotional, psychological, and spiritual challenges. Beyond their therapeutic potential, they can also support consciousness expansion, unlock creativity, and deepen self-awareness.

Psychedelics can be powerful catalysts. They may open access to vast inner worlds and awaken our innate healing intelligence. At the same time, they carry very real risks. Having skilled, grounded support is essential when choosing to engage with these substances.

This work is not about quick fixes. It’s about moving slowly, thoughtfully, and with care.

Who I Support

I work primarily with women who are curious about psychedelic education and harm reduction, or who are seeking preparation and integration support around their experiences.

Whether you are considering a future journey, have already worked with psychedelics, or are simply looking for education and resources, I offer individualized support tailored to where you are in your process.

If you’d like to explore whether this support feels right for you, I offer a free 15-minute consult. This is a chance to connect, ask questions, and see if it’s a good fit.

My Approach

My approach is thorough, trauma-informed, and grounded in a range of perspectives, including parts work, psychedelic-informed studies, body-oriented techniques, nervous system education, depth-oriented approaches, and community-centred healing. My work is rooted in a harm reduction framework, emphasizing consent, collaboration, and support over intervention or direction. I draw from an evolving body of knowledge, training, and lived experience, as well as a wide range of practical tools.

I believe in moving slowly and gently, centering the person as a whole. My work is deeply relational, rooted in the belief that it is through connection — to self, others, and community — that true healing can unfold. Psychedelics may help dissolve our defenses, but sustainable transformation happens through supportive relationships, practices, and integration over time. This is not a quick fix, but a living process. I am committed to working at a pace that feels safe, grounded, and aligned with your path.

I am committed to ongoing continuing education and am supported by a network of practitioners in the field of psychedelic-assisted therapy and beyond.
