psychedelic facilitation & integration coaching
Portland Oregon & Surrounding Areas
For me, “The Space Between” refers to the world of mystical, the sacred, transpersonal, intangible or spirit world. This is a space in which the five sensory perceptions, assessments, attachment to thoughts, things and ways of being can be hard to grasp. Similar to a dream or a distant memory. Throughout history spiritual seekers and wisdom keepers have worked in these realms. With a great deal of humility, an honest willingness to learn and go inward, and with the proper support; we too can safely navigate the space between worlds, connecting us to our highest truth, begin to build a bridge and cultivate a path toward healing, recovery, transformation and/or self-discovery.
As the many health benefits of psychedelics become increasingly mainstream, the need for education, safe, ethical and supportive practices with these powerful compounds is increasingly important. My mission is to be an ally throughout the entire process by providing holistic support before, during, and after your journey. With over a decade of experience holding space within medicine ceremonies; I offer a hands-off approach with a focus on safety and harm reduction. This allows the inner healing intelligence of these medicines to take center stage while giving you the tools and support you need to navigate your experience within a solid container for deep inner work.
Psychedelic work requires courage, strength, dedication and support. Whether you are seeking a gentle exploration of altered states of consciousness or the deep dive experience, psychedelic medicines are incredible tools which can catalyze consciousness and facilitate personal growth. Facilitation coupled with integration work provides a framework and structure to the process helping you to get the most out of your experience. If you have begun or are considering the therapeutic use of psychedelic medicine, I’d be honored to support your journey.

what does psychedelic facilitation & integration coaching look like?
Also known as “Trip Sitting or Harm Reduction”, a psychedelic facilitator’s job is to remain present and hold a space of compassion, support and non-judgement throughout the entire session. In some cases, a facilitator may gently guide the experience by adjusting the physical environment or make you aware of things that could push you off course. Overall the goal of a facilitator is to keep you focused inward and on your experience with as little interruption or interference as possible.
My approach to facilitation is to allow the intelligence within these medicines to be the primary guide of the session. To allow the medicine itself to do whatever work is needed in each moment and in concert with you, your higher self and your deepest inner truth. That is to say within the limits and boundaries of emotional and physical safety for oneself and others. If and when the experience gets more intense or difficult, additional support is available in a variety of forms which are reviewed and discussed beforehand. A note about physical touch - holding a hand or hand on shoulder is always available (if requested), however this is generally the extent of physical touch in a session.
Integration Coaching which happens both before and after your session gives you the framework and support to develop clear intentions, tools and education to navigate your experience, and an ally with whom you can process and integrate the visions, heartfelt emotions, difficult passages and mysterious nature of these experiences. Integration work is a critical component to psychedelic work and greatly supports you in getting the most out of your experience.
psychedelic integration breakdown
Psychedelic Integration can be broken down into three basic stages - Preparation, Navigation and Integration. One notable distinction that separates Preparation & Integration from Navigation is that these stages happen from within the regular waking-state consciousness, the state of consciousness we operate from every day. Whereas Navigation, “The Space Between” often happens in an elevated or possibly even transpersonal state of consciousness.
That said, in many ways the Preparation & Integration stages can be just as important as the experience itself. Although we cannot control or predict what happens during peak psychedelic experience, there are many tools and ways we can prepare that make it easier to surrender and go inward such that you get the most out of your experience.
Integration (after the experience) is where we begin to build a bridge between these worlds. Every psychedelic experience is unique and deeply personal. In a space of openness and non-judgement we will unpack and document the insights, visions, and lessons of your ecperience. The goal of integration work is to ascribe meaning to these aspects of your experience such that you can apply them into practices in your life. I like to think of integration being like bringing a little seed of the mystical realm back with you and to the world of the ordinary. Upon landing firmly with both feet on the ground you plant the seed, water it regularly and begin to watch it grow.
A note about psychedelic work - Ultimately it is all about you. Psychedelic compounds can give us access to our deepest inner truth. It is what we do with the gifts, teachings, lessons, visions, etc that determines the transformation we ultimately manifest. It’s also true that these medicines give you what you need and not necessarily what you want. It is important to let go of attachment to a particular outcome and allow what you want to be what you need.

why psychedelics?
Terence McKenna says “during a psychedelic experience a dialogue opens up between ego and the larger psyche. This allows a person an opportunity to conduct unbiased therapy with themselves. You have nothing to hide behind, no defenses, no outs, and no lies; just you them and truth. Under the medicines everything is exaggerated for easier interpretation and understanding, which helps one to better observe the perceptions, worldviews, voices, beliefs, thoughts, judgments, stories, and emotional patterns that run their daily life.”
Psychedelics and entheogens can be powerful tools for deep personal work and spiritual awakening. That said they are not cures, fixes or solutions themselves. The difficult thoughts and feelings that sometimes arise during a psychedelic journey can come from the depth of your inner being. This is a special gift and opportunity for healing and a potentially corrective experience and gives you access to parts of yourself so you can work through them, heal and transform.
They can also bring you into a state of bliss beyond imagination! Whatever the experience, these medicines offer new clarity and perspective as to the totality of reality. Both for traumatic events and how they shaped that person’s life as well as increase evolutionary momentum and highlight self-awareness.
My work with psychedelics over the last decade has played an integral role in my personal healing and transformation. It is from this place that I am being guided to support individuals who want to use these medicines to better themselves.
