Psychedelic clients come for 3 reasons: Those trying to access psychedelic therapies: we can discuss the various medicines and options, both in Australia and overseas, to see which best suits your needs. We also discuss any medications you are on, and how they will interact with the different medicines available. Those about to embark on a psychedelic journey: we discuss preparation in terms of what to expect physiologically, psychologically and spiritually; models of consciousness and the shamanic worldview and how to navigate within them; tools to have on board for the journey; and what practises will be most helpful before the journey Those who have had a journey and are needing help with integration: we discuss the context of the journey (what was going on in your life before the journey) and the content of the journey to see how to make more meaning from the experience, and use the teachings and lessons obtained to improve ourselves and our life. We also explore the energy/states of the experience, and can experientially revisit those states to embody them more fully, as well as what practises might help us embody them more going forwards.
I've been interested in all things psychology, spirituality, philosophy, anthropology, and of course plant medicines, since my early teens. I have over 25 years of experience working with plant medicines, and have studied a variety of modalities including psychotherapy, energy work (reiki etc) and shamanic work Outside of work, I'm interested in martial arts, strength training, self-improvement and homesteading.
