Postpartum can be beautiful, tender, disorienting, isolating, and overwhelming all at once. Your body has changed. Your relationships may feel different. Your nervous system is carrying more. Your sense of self may be shifting in ways that are hard to name. The MotherRoot Circle is a small-group psilocybin journey for women in postpartum who want to move through that transformation with support rather than alone. In a circle of 4 to 8 women, you'll move through preparation, a guided psilocybin experience, and integration alongside others navigating their own version of postpartum becoming. Two group preparation sessions help you clarify your intentions and prepare your body and mind. The administration session is held at NeuroAlchemy in Littleton, Colorado, where Mikki creates a grounded, trauma-informed container rooted in relational presence and nervous system awareness. Two group integration sessions follow, focused on translating what emerges into your actual life, relationships, motherhood, and sense of self. This is not simply a psilocybin session. It is a guided passage through matrescence. The MotherRoot Circle is for women who are ready to be supported through postpartum as a sacred threshold to honor, not a problem to fix.
The people and place behind your experience.

I am a licensed psychotherapist and addictions counselor with advanced training in EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing, and trauma-informed care. My background in clinical practice informs every aspect of my work as a natural medicine facilitator, where safety, attunement, and skilled guidance are at the heart of the experience. I am the co-founder for two licensed healing centers in Colorado and have been avidly involved in the development of Colorado's regulated natural medicine program. My facilitation style blends clinical expertise with ceremonial sanctity, honoring the sacredness of the medicine while grounding the process in evidence-based therapeutic approaches. A unique aspect of my practice is the use of olfactory pairing, which harnesses the brain's heightened neuroplasticity during psilocybin sessions. By pairing specific scents with moments of healing, clients create sensory anchors they can later return to as part of integration—deepening and extending the impact of their journey. My private practice, SisuWell, takes its name from the Finnish word Sisu, describing an embodied form of resilience, courage, and perseverance. This spirit of sisu reflects the outcomes I strive to support in clients: not only the illumination of insight, but the cultivation of enduring strength and trust in their own healing capacity and self-transformation. Bringing together neuroscience, trauma-informed psychotherapy, and reverence for the sacred, I hold space with compassion, presence, and deep respect for the mystery and medicine of transformation.

NeuroAlchemy serves individuals, couples, groups, and facilitators who are seeking a safe, ethical, and deeply human approach to natural medicine work. Our center is designed for people who are moving through major life transitions, grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, spiritual questions, relational challenges, or a longing to reconnect with themselves in a more honest and embodied way. We also serve those who feel called to explore psilocybin-assisted experiences within Colorado's regulated natural medicine framework. Whether someone is new to this work or has previous experience with altered states, NeuroAlchemy offers a thoughtful container that includes screening, preparation, supported medicine sessions, integration, and ongoing care. Our approach is grounded in clinical skill, relational presence, trauma-informed practice, and respect for the sacred nature of the work. In addition to client care, NeuroAlchemy supports natural medicine facilitators, trainees, therapists, and healing professionals who are looking for consultation, community, mentorship, and continuing education. We serve those who want to practice with more confidence, humility, ethical clarity, and depth. At its heart, NeuroAlchemy is for people who believe healing happens in relationship...with the self, with others, with the medicine, and with the larger mystery of being human.

Mikki and the team at Neuro Alchemy have created a beautiful space, and more importantly they created a safe container for my journey which allowed me to go deeper abs do more work than I'd been able to before. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Mikki made the experience wonderful. I feel she is the perfect combination of academic and also spiritual. She was always very professional and respectful and I always felt very safe.

I can’t imagine this experience without Mikki and her team (Cindi, Vince, & Avi). They are so incredibly knowledgeable and I felt their love and care in every single detail. The sense of safety they create is beyond words, and they create it for every single person based on unique individual needs. They’re amazing.

Mikki has an extraordinary depth of knowledge about the use of psychedelic mushrooms for healing, as well as a depth of caring and skill in the practice of psychedelic-assisted therapy. I couldn't recommend her more highly!
