About this experience

This offering is designed for people navigating chronic survival states, complex trauma patterns, burnout, identity shifts, emotional disconnection, or the feeling of having spent much of life adapting rather than fully inhabiting themselves. Many of the people drawn to this work are highly sensitive, deeply self-aware, neurodivergent, analytical, or accustomed to carrying a great deal internally. Some have spent years in therapy or personal growth spaces and still feel disconnected from their body, emotions, intuition, or sense of self-trust. This work is not about fixing you. It’s about creating the conditions for reconnection. I’m a licensed psilocybin facilitator whose own healing journey with psychedelics began through working with CPTSD, trauma, neurodivergence, and reclaiming inner sovereignty after survival mode. That lived experience continues to shape the grounded, compassionate, trauma-informed care I offer today. My personal philosophy blends psychology, medicine, spirituality, symbolism, research, and a touch of absurdism. I see these not as competing frameworks, but as different languages pointing toward the same underlying mystery. My approach is very much “take what resonates, leave what doesn’t.” Together, we focus on what feels meaningful and supportive for you. My facilitation style is collaborative, adaptive, and client-centered. Rather than leading or interpreting your experience, I help create a safe and supportive container where your own inner healing intelligence can emerge. During the journey, I remain present the entire time, offering steady, attuned support while responding to what is needed in the moment. Preparation and integration are essential parts of the process. We spend time beforehand clarifying intentions, building trust, and developing tools for navigating the experience. Afterwards, we work together to help integrate insights into daily life. I’m especially mindful of sensory sensitivity and nervous system awareness. I do not use incense, sage, or strong scents in the space. Music is thoughtfully curated based on your intentions and personal story. Journey days are available through Chariot and Rose Waters Sanctuary in Portland, as well as Ripple Journeywork in Eugene. Preparation and integration sessions can take place virtually or in person for clients in the Portland and Eugene areas.
