Therapeutic Psilocybin

​

What is Psilocybin?

Psilocybin is a naturally occurring compound found in certain species of mushrooms. For thousands of years, cultures around the world have used these mushrooms in healing, spiritual, and ceremonial contexts. In a therapeutic setting, psilocybin can help temporarily soften the everyday thinking mind, allowing deeper emotional, somatic, and subconscious material to come forward in a safe and supported way.

​

​

How Psilocybin Works

Psilocybin interacts with serotonin receptors in the brain, particularly those related to mood, perception, and meaning-making. This can create an expanded state of awareness, sometimes described as increased connection, openness, or clarity. In this state, long-held patterns and beliefs can be observed with more compassion and curiosity, rather than defense or resistance.

Many people describe the experience as a reset of the inner system — not by forcing change, but by allowing the mind and body to reorganize naturally from a place of insight and presence.

​

​

Benefits of Therapeutic Psilocybin

While each person’s experience is unique, clients often report:

• A greater sense of emotional clarity and self-understanding

• Reduced internal tension and nervous system overwhelm

• Release of old patterns, narratives, or emotional blockages

• Increased connection to self, others, and life

• Renewed meaning, direction, and inner resilience

Psilocybin does not "fix" you — it supports your own inner intelligence in remembering what is already whole.

The Process

​1. Preparation

Preparation sessions are designed to establish safety, clarity, and trust. Together, we explore your intentions, history, and what feels most present in your life. You will learn what to expect during the journey and how to relate to whatever arises. This foundation ensures that you enter the experience grounded and supported.

What we cover in preparation:

• Clarifying your intention or inquiry

• Somatic and breath practices for navigating the experience

• Discussing expectations, environment, and safety

• Creating personalized support strategies

 

2. Administration (The Journey Session)

Your psilocybin session takes place in a safe, private, and supportive setting. You will be invited to lie down, relax, and move inward. The experience is guided by your inner process — not directed or interpreted. My role is to hold presence, attune to your needs, and ensure physical and emotional safety throughout.

You are in control of your pace. The session typically lasts 4–6 hours and unfolds gently and naturally.

 

3. Integration

Integration is where meaning takes shape. After the journey, we meet to process insights, emotions, and shifts that occurred. This is where the experience is translated into embodied change — in your daily life, relationships, habits, and sense of self.

Integration may include:

• Reflection and narrative exploration

• Mind-body practices

• Resourcing and grounding techniques

• Support in applying insights in practical ways

Integration is ongoing, and support continues as needed.

Coaching & Integration Support

​

Psychedelic work does not begin with the journey session, and it certainly does not end there. Real transformation happens in the preparation and the integration — how the experience reshapes awareness, behavior, and the way you relate to yourself and your life.

I offer one-on-one coaching designed to support clients before and after psychedelic experiences, whether working with me or on your own path. This process helps you cultivate clarity, emotional resilience, nervous-system grounding, and a deeper relationship with your inner intelligence.

​

Preparation Coaching

Before a psychedelic experience, we work together to clarify your intention, explore your current emotional landscape, and develop somatic skills that support safety and openness. Preparation ensures you’re not just hoping for change — you are ready to meet what arises with steadiness and trust.

Preparation May Include:

• Intention-setting and inquiry practices

• Somatic and breathwork techniques for staying grounded

• Emotional and nervous-system literacy

• Lifestyle and mindset adjustments to support the journey

​

Integration Coaching

Integration is where insight becomes embodiment. After the session, we explore what emerged, how it is living in your body, and how it can be gently woven into your daily life.

This is not analytical talk therapy — it is a grounded, relational process of allowing your system to reorganize in a way that feels authentic and sustainable.

Integration Support May Include:

• Narrative processing and meaning-making

• Somatic awareness and emotional regulation practices

• Identifying new patterns, boundaries, and relational shifts

• Support in implementing changes with clarity and ease

​

Breathwork & Somatic Practices

I am also a certified breathwork instructor and teach a variety of somatic modalities, including meditation and nervous-system orienting. These practices help reconnect the body and mind, allowing emotions and stored tension to move and resolve with greater ease.

Breathwork and somatic practices can be incorporated into your coaching sessions or offered as their own path of healing and reconnection.

Benefits of Somatic & Breathwork Practices:

• Increased emotional regulation

• Reduced anxiety and internal tension

• Greater embodiment and presence

• A deeper sense of inner connection and clarity

 

This work meets you where you are. It unfolds at the pace your system is ready for. And it is always guided by your own inner knowing.

Facilitator Consulting & Mentorship

​

For those who are currently training to become licensed psilocybin facilitators in Colorado, I offer consulting and mentorship to support your development and fulfill DORA’s practicum requirements. This includes the 40 hours of supervised experience required for state licensure.

My approach to mentorship is grounded, relational, and experience-based. Rather than teaching from theory alone, we work directly with the skills that matter most in facilitation — presence, attunement, somatic awareness, nervous-system regulation, and the ability to hold space without imposing direction or interpretation.

​

What We Can Work On Together

• Supporting clients through a therapeutic psychedelic process

• Somatic and trauma-informed facilitation techniques

• Ethical considerations and scope of practice

• Creating safe and grounded set & setting

• Developing your own authentic facilitation style

• Working with emotional openings, fear, intensity, or resistance

• Integration support and follow-through

 

Practicum & Licensing Support

As a licensed facilitator, I am able to supervise and document your required practicum hours for submission to DORA. This can include observation, co-facilitation, and reflective review depending on your needs and current level of experience.

 

Who This Is For

• Facilitators currently enrolled in a state-approved training program

• Newly licensed facilitators seeking additional guidance

• Practitioners expanding into psychedelic-assisted work

• Individuals wanting grounded mentorship rooted in lived experience

Becoming a facilitator is not just learning a protocol — it is learning to sit with another human being in their most open and honest state.

​

This work is a practice of presence. A discipline of humility. And a devotion to the inner intelligence that leads the way.
