How I work with clients
I work with clients in a highly intentional and integrative way, blending holistic nursing, coaching principles, and psychedelic-informed practices. My approach emphasizes deep listening and personal connection, where the client is seen as the expert in their own healing journey, and I serve as a guide and facilitator. I hold space for clients by creating a strong, safe container for them to explore non-ordinary states of consciousness, providing both structure and freedom within the therapeutic process. I integrate various healing modalities, including traditional and non-traditional practices, drawing from my deep understanding of spiritual care, trauma-aware practices, and holistic wellness. My work is grounded in self-awareness, reflection, and ethical integrity. I help clients clarify their intentions and support them through the preparatory stages, journey, and integration phases, always maintaining a strong focus on both the process and the outcome. I encourage ongoing self-cultivation, ensuring that we are both aligned in the healing work, while also emphasizing compassion, trust, and the importance of community support. Furthermore, my approach is client-centered, focusing on personal empowerment, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. I utilize various tools and frameworks—such as the "spectrum of balance" model, Caritas Principles, and trauma-aware care techniques—to guide your work, ensuring that each interaction is aligned with the client’s needs and their evolving process
Therapeutic Approach
As a nurse who integrates holistic nursing, psychedelic therapy, and health and wellness coaching, I’d say my approach is grounded in the belief that healing is not just about treating symptoms, but nurturing the mind, body, and spirit as interconnected aspects of a whole person. Holistic nursing emphasizes the importance of addressing physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual needs, and this aligns beautifully with my work in psychedelic therapy, where the mind-body connection can be profoundly transformed. I use evidence-based therapies alongside traditional and alternative healing practices to provide comprehensive care that helps individuals experience deep healing and self-empowerment. Psychedelic therapy, in particular, allows for profound shifts in consciousness that can catalyze healing and growth. Whether in preparation or integration, I support my clients through every step, offering guidance in how to prepare for and make sense of their journeys, both within and beyond the healing environment. The therapeutic relationship is paramount in this process, as is creating a safe, grounded space for individuals to explore their own personal growth. As a health and wellness coach, I also emphasize the importance of lifestyle changes, personal empowerment, and sustainable habits that foster long-term wellness. This means helping clients develop self-awareness, set meaningful goals, and align their actions with their values. By combining these practices, I aim to offer a holistic, compassionate approach to healing that supports individuals in becoming the best versions of themselves, mindfully navigating life’s challenges, and creating the space for deep transformation. This integrated approach allows me to support people in cultivating balance, resilience, and a deep sense of connection with themselves and others, creating the foundation for sustainable health and well-bein
Biography
Angela Ward Nurse Coach. Soul Midwife. Psychedelic therapy expert. I’m Angela Ward, a nurse, former birth doula, and the founder of Guardian at the Gateway. I’m also a survivor of PTSD who understands first-hand the healing power of psychedelic-assisted therapy. I have experienced it in my own life, witnessed it in hundreds of others, and built this business so that you (and thousands of others) can reap the benefits, too. It has become clear over the years that my calling is to support people through transformational experiences. I’ve done it as a labor and delivery nurse, birth & death doula, and now, through my work facilitating and supporting psychedelic-assisted therapy. I consider it a great honor, privilege, and responsibility to cultivate a safe and strong container for people as they travel through the unknown towards deep transformation and healing. That’s where ‘Guardian at the Gateway’ came from; what lies ‘beyond’ is full of unknowns and can be scary. Though your healing is in your hands, my team and I are here to fully support you on this journey, safely guiding and watching over you, every step of the way.
