Psychedelic-Informed Support
While many of my clients have no interest in psychedelic work, one of the hallmarks of my practice is my understanding of how these modalities may support individuals facing serious illness, end-of-life concerns, grief, and bereavement.
I do not provide psychedelic substances, medical advice, or psychedelic therapy. My role is that of a wayfinder—helping individuals explore educational resources, identify appropriate practitioners where legally available, and, when desired, offering non-clinical preparation, accompaniment, and integration support.
My Journey
My services draw on, weave together, and are strengthened by a lifetime of seemingly disparate experiences. Along the way I have worked in media, marketing, publishing, film production, bodywork, creative writing, and healthcare. Each chapter taught me something different about listening, problem-solving, storytelling, holding space for healing, and what it means to accompany another human being through change.
My offerings are rooted in the belief of the continuation of consciousness: before, during, and after our physical existence.
Over the years I have explored a wide range of tools and practices, receiving training and/or certifications in Reiki, Reconnective Healing, EFT, Human Design, Akashic Record reading, bereavement support, psychedelic integration, meditation, breathwork, mediumship, and end-of-life doula work. I have studied with teachers, healers, and shamans around the world.
Yet my greatest teacher has been life itself.
My beloved husband Benjamin’s terminal illness and death, the caregiving journey that preceded it, the grief that followed, and the continuing evolution of our relationship have become my living, ongoing education in what it means to surrender to life’s organic processes—and to simultaneously hold both the temporal and eternal dimensions of being human.
Through these experiences I have learned that people rarely need someone to fix their lives. More often, they need someone to lighten the load through deep listening, steady presence, thoughtful navigation of complexity, and honoring both what is known and what remains unknowable.
Listening and sharing help me remember, stay steady, and keep my heart open.
