My work is grounded in the belief that every person carries an inner wisdom that, when given the right conditions, naturally moves toward healing and wholeness. Psychedelic experiences can open profound windows of insight, but the deeper work often unfolds in the careful tending that follows, through reflection, integration, and compassionate presence.
For more than two decades I worked in public education as a teacher and social emotional learning facilitator, helping young people and adults listen more deeply to themselves and to one another. Today my work continues in a similar spirit through psychedelic preparation, journey guidance, and integration support for individuals and couples.
My approach is contemplative, relational, and grounded in the understanding that transformation happens most fully in spaces of trust and honest reflection. The work I offer draws from the principles of Courage & Renewal®, embodied practices, dialogue, and spiritual care.
As Parker J. Palmer writes, “The soul speaks its truth only under quiet, inviting, and trustworthy conditions.” Creating those conditions is at the heart of my practice.
My intention is not to direct another person’s path, but to walk alongside them as they listen for their own inner teacher. Through preparation, journey support, and integration, I help people translate moments of insight into meaningful and sustainable changes in their lives.
