Where Visionary Experiences Meet Embodied Transformation

Preparation and Integration Support for Psychedelics
and Sacred Plant Medicines

Preparation

  • The call to the hero’s journey invites you into the depths of your being, asking you to explore, surrender, and change. Whether you are preparing for a plant medicine retreat or an intentional psychedelic experience, your preparation will shape the insights and healing that could unfold and how you carry them forward after the experience.

    A well-prepared journey isn’t just about what happens in the ceremony itself; it begins long before and extends far beyond. Thoughtful preparation can help create a grounded, intentional, and supportive container for the process, allowing you to move through it with clarity and trust.

    How I Can Support You

    I guide individuals through the preparation phase by offering support in:

    Plant Medicines; Ayahuasca, Mushrooms and Wachuma.

    Mindset & Intentions – Clarifying what is calling you to this experience, identifying personal themes, and cultivating an open, receptive state of mind.

    Managing Expectations – Understanding the nature of psychedelic experiences, recognizing common emotional and psychological patterns, and preparing for the unexpected.

    Diet & Physical Preparation – Exploring traditional dieta practices, somatic exercises, and lifestyle adjustments to support your process.

    Energetic & Emotional Readiness – Developing tools for self-regulation, setting protective energetic boundaries, and creating a safe, aligned internal space.

    I have been supporting individuals in preparation and integration since 2021 and currently serve as a lead integration specialist at Apu Healing Center, a space dedicated to the responsible and sacred use of plant medicines.

    Preparation is about creating the conditions for deep healing and transformation so that when the moment arrives, you can meet your experience with presence, and openness.

    If you are ready to step into this journey with intention, I am here to support you.

  • Choosing the Right Facilitator & Setting

    Embarking on a psychedelic experience is a deeply personal decision that requires careful consideration of who you sit with, where you journey, and how you prepare. The container you choose - meaning both your facilitator and the setting plays a critical role in the depth, safety, and integrity of your experience.

    Choosing the Right Facilitator

    Not all facilitators or retreat centers operate with the same level of skill, ethics, or care. Here are some key questions to ask when vetting a facilitator:

    Choosing the Right Setting

    The environment in which you have your experience is just as important as the medicine itself. Whether you are attending a plant medicine retreat, working with a guide, or embarking on a personal journey.

    My Role: Preparation & Integration Support (Not Facilitation)

    I do not provide psychedelic substances or facilitate ceremonies. My role is to help you prepare for your journey and integrate what unfolds afterward, so you can make meaning of your experience in a way that supports long-term transformation.

    If you need guidance on how to prepare, set intentions, regulate your nervous system, or integrate your experience afterward, I am here to help.

Integration

  • The true power of a psychedelic/plant medicine experience isn’t just in the journey itself it’s in how you integrate the insights, emotions, and visions into your daily life.

    Psychedelic and Plant Medicine experiences can be expansive, challenging, and deeply transformative, but without intentional integration, their impact may fade or feel confusing. Integration is the process of weaving your experience into the fabric of your life, so the wisdom gained can lead to lasting healing, growth, and self-trust.

    Why Integration Matters

    Bridging the Experience & Everyday Life: Insights that arise in altered states can feel profound, but translating them into action takes intention and support.

    Processing Emotions & Visions: Psychedelic journeys can bring up unresolved emotions, memories, or spiritual awakenings. Integration helps you process what surfaced in a way that feels grounded and embodied.

    Avoiding Confusion or Disconnection: Sometimes, a psychedelic experience leaves more questions than answers. Integration helps make sense of what emerged so you can move forward with clarity.

    Creating Lasting Change: The goal is not just to have an experience but to live differently because of it. Integration helps you implement shifts in perspective, behavior, and relationships.

    How I Can Support You in Integration

    I offer personalized integration support for individuals who have worked with psychedelics, plant medicines, or expanded states of consciousness. My approach is trauma-informed, somatic-based, and grounded in mindfulness and transpersonal psychology.

    1:1 Integration Sessions

    Processing & Meaning-Making – Explore and unpack your experience in a safe, supportive space.

The Four Pillars of Ceremony

  • Set: The Mindset You Bring

    Your mindset shapes the way you engage with a psychedelic and plant medicine experiences. Approaching your journey with intention, openness, and curiosity can help you navigate insights, emotions, and challenges. A well-prepared mind fosters trust in the process, allowing you to surrender to what unfolds.

  • Setting: The Space That Holds You

    Where you journey matters. Whether in nature, a ceremonial space, or a therapeutic setting, your physical and energetic environment can influence the depth and safety of your experience. A calm, supportive, and trusted space allows you to feel grounded and fully present with what arises.

  • Skillset: Tools for Navigation

    Psychedelic and Plant Medicine experiences can be unpredictable. Developing self-regulation skills, such as breathwork, somatic awareness, and emotional processing, helps you stay grounded during intense moments. Strengthening your skillset before the journey allows you to engage with both expansion and challenge with confidence.

  • Support: Beyond the Ceremony

    True transformation happens after the journey in how you integrate insights into your daily life. Having support - whether from a guide, community, or integration coach, ensures that what you learned doesn’t fade but instead becomes woven into your relationships, work, and sense of self.
