Welcome! My coaching style is to create a container in which all aspects of your psychedelic journey can safely surface and be seen and explored with reverence and curiosity. As we hold space for all of it with radical presence, there will be a deep honoring of the journey you are on, with an understanding that you are the expert in your own becoming.

I like to say that my heart started beating again the day that I entered recovery. Yes, there was a change needed in my life, but I believe the magic of that moment was stepping into the unknown. A letting go. Trusting in something I did not fully understand and desiring something more in my life. A remembering that there is so much more than where I was currently at. Like all experiences, that journey has evolved and grown, but that decision opened me up to all possibilities of life, to curiosity, mystery, and child-like awe and wonder. My journey with psychedelics has been the same surrender, the same freefall where I follow my intuition without having the path completely laid out before me. These two experiences have changed me as I trust my intuition and my inner knowing.

In one of my first psychedelic experiences, I felt fully seen in the most beautiful way as the wildflower that I am. We are all wildflowers uniquely alive in this moment, each bringing a color, depth, and beauty that only we can bring. We are also each other’s, witnessing and honoring our unique stories as we learn from one another. I believe that trusting that each person we encounter knows what is best for their life is the best gift we can give to one another, and my desire is for you to feel seen and trusted in our coaching sessions.

As you embark on your journeys, I would love to walk with you as a coach and fellow traveler, to co-create that space with you, to witness the terrain that is all of who you are. I will follow your lead, moving in the natural rhythms that flow from what our conversations bring to the surface or find in the depths with curiosity, vulnerability, reverence, and empathy. I would be honored to walk side by side with you as we unpack the fullness of your inner journey, trusting your inner knowing of the next step forward.
