How Do I Go Deeper?

Sacred medicine—encompassing plant medicines, earth medicines, psychedelics, and entheogens—serves as a sacred technology for harmonizing the spiritual and human experience. These substances invite individuals into a transformative realm where the non-ordinary and the symbolic take center stage, offering a direct encounter with one’s innate wholeness. This process engages us with the expansive, divine dimensions of existence and the hidden, shadow dimensions of the subconscious—the parts of ourselves that may have been neglected, judged, feared, or demonized.

A common misconception about working with sacred medicine is the belief that all healing and transformation transpire solely within the confines of the ceremony. While it is possible to experience miraculous healing during a single ceremony, it is rare. In most cases, true embodied transformation doesn’t occur instantly. The meaningful work begins after the ceremony ends. It’s in the compassionate, intentional steps you take to transform the insights gained from plant medicine into lasting change—cultivating new behaviors, thought patterns, a greater sense of aliveness, and healthier ways of responding to challenging people and situations.

Investment in Your True Self

As a trauma-informed integration guide, I offer a personalized, holistic approach tailored to individual needs. My work is grounded in extensive experience with non-ordinary states of consciousness, grief, and death, enriched by artistic expression, somatic training, and a trauma-sensitive framework.

I provide a clear, safe, and supportive container to share your feelings, reflections, and newfound awareness. We’ll harvest insights from your journey through deep listening and reflective tools. Together, we can navigate the complex, challenging, and beautifully transformative experiences that arise before and after the ceremony.

My support spans a wide range of areas, including working through trauma imprints and somatic integration, fostering emotional and relational maturity, navigating relational conflicts and life transitions, and developing embodied spiritual practices. I can also assist with understanding dreams and spontaneous spiritual or visionary experiences, spirit possession, subtle energy, practicing discernment, uncovering past lifetimes / multidimensional life patterns, and deepening your connection to your body and self-care. Additionally, I help you invite greater aliveness and creativity into the present moment by crafting non-psychedelic medicine-related rituals that strengthen and support your journey.

Integrate with a Plant Devotional

A plant devotional is forming a deep, intentional relationship with a specific non-psychedelic plant or a group of plants. Examples include cacao, rose, gardenia, hawthorne, or cedar. This transformative practice involves creating a sacred connection by offering time, presence, and gratitude to the plant, often in a meditative or ritualistic context. It may include drinking tea made from the plant, sitting with it in nature, learning about its properties, cultivating and tending to it with care, engaging in creative expressions, and more

Before opening the container, we work with the plant medicine consciousness to seek permission and determine if a relationship with a plant spirit is aligned at this time. If granted, we help you cultivate a personalized practice to establish the foundation for a meaningful and intimate relationship to blossom. A plant devotional serves as a potent pathway to healing, grounding, and integrating psychedelic experiences by tapping into the wisdom of the natural world. This practice fosters a deep sense of reciprocity and respect for the living earth while enhancing your awareness of the intricate connections between humans and sacred ecology. By engaging in this devotion, you strengthen your bond with the plant and enrich your understanding of the interconnected web of life.

I deeply love and profoundly respect the healing and wisdom I’ve received through Master Plant Dietas in the Shipibo-Conibo lineage. These shamanic practices are intricate, disciplined, and deeply transformative, involving a rigorous process where a planta maestra (teacher plant) or plantas que enseñan (teaching plants and trees) offers protection, guidance, and sacred knowledge to the student, known as the dietero. While a plant devotional practice should not be mistaken for a Master Plant Dieta, my devotion to plants was pivotal in preparing me to become a dietero.
