Finlayson Finlayson, MA, LPC

I took my first tab of LSD when I was 18 years old. It created the opening for me to have a spiritual awakening that changed my life completely. I was lucky because I was only 18 and my brain was still forming so it was ripe with neuroplasticity and it was easy to change. But most of us are trying these things later in life when our neural pathways are more solidified and it is more difficult to change. From there, I dove headfirst into learning, studying and researching all I could find on the meaning of life. I studied Buddhism, Shamanism, Taoism, eastern philosophy and continued working with entheogens to have real, embodied experiences of what I was reading about. I began seeking out various healing modalities and working with various masters. My priorities have always been peace, happiness and freedom and my passion has always been helping people break down the barriers that stand in the way of them living from their own truth. I am from Baltimore, MD. I come from an uneducated, small-minded family which helped push me out into the world. I have traveled to 29 countries on my own and have lived internationally for six years of my life. I have been a digital nomad since 2021. I am starting to look at where I might launch a healing center in US the coming years where it is deeply needed but the legal landscape is tricky. I have my Bachelors in Journalism from the University of Maryland and my masters in counseling from Southwestern College in Santa Fe, NM. I have been a licensed clinical therapist since 2014 and I have over 25 years of experience working in the underground with entheogenic master teacher plants. I am now a certified psilocybin guide after studying with the Bodhi Academy which offers the most up to date, rigorous training on the market. I am part medicine woman, part therapist and part harm reduction specialist. This is a very potent combination which sets the stage for you to have an awesome medicine experience.
