Journey Integration Support
I offer preparation and integration support around cannabis, psilocybin, herbs and other safe medicines of choice. And journeying via nature, visuals, meditation, sound, energy and your body. I orient alongside you and your vantage points with frameworks such as parts work, energy work, compassionate acceptance, somatic trauma therapy, breath work, ego disillusionment and/or enhancement, nature allyship, soul retrieval, dream analysis, social context, nuerodivergence and more. Check out the About Me page for information on me and my education. I love working with people who are queer, trans, nuerowild, highly sensitive, introverted, seeking developmental or attachment or generational healing, or are perpetually curious about life and the universe. I hold harm reduction, health balancing, spiritual tending space in your home, online, or outdoors. Sometimes big impact plant and mushroom allies are desirable for growth and sometimes we simply need to tune in and hear gentler plant beings and our bodies for guidance. I can help you integrate and implement your experiences.
Wether herbal or native plant sitting, aware foraging, nature walking, or a form of nature communion or journeying… I am here and happy to get creative with you and your preparation and integration process! Cultivating relationship with oneself and plants can be life enhancing in a way that ripples into multiple areas of one’s individual life and community. Journeying with plants has the potential to reminds us of our interdependence and the reverence, care, and reciprocity needed in relating to one another, the lands we live on, and the animals we live amidst. Journeying can remind us as a collective that we can create ways alternate to colonial mindsets.
On a personal level, journeying is often about releasing or reorienting to thoughts, behavior patterns, feelings, stories, experiences and lineage — ultimately, how you carry and work with energies of and about you. Let’s both embrace valuable ego identities and also ask who you are without all the social and political constructs and labels. Journey space can invite self discovery and interconnection as forms of physical and spiritual healing, remembering, and unveiling that ripple into your daily life. Remembering yourself and ways of being in relationship with other people, plants, places and animals is symbiotically empowering. Each journey integration is an invitation to live into paradigms that could be new or ancient and forgotten — tending to your worth, your work in the world, your relationships, your physical health, and care for our collectives and earth. If you would like, Learn more about me and why I do this work and how I have come to these ideas.
Personal use of medicines is legal in CO and I can gift allies and offer integration support sessions. Also, if interested check out this blog post and reach out about microdosing. I am happy to gift capsuled psilocybin and herbs alongside information so that you can get to know these mushrooms.

Journeying Logistics and Frameworks
Our time together will include at least 2 hour long preparation sessions and at least 2 to 5 hour long integration sessions. We will engage in as much preparation and integration as is best for both of us to feel confident and I will encourage you with resources of support. We can also engage a nature-communion journey, plant sit meditation, or mindful walk. We can meet on a weekly, biweekly, or monthly basis for an agreed on time period to make sure you receive the integration and implementation support you want and need.
I offer nature-communion journeys, preparation, and integration in your home, virtually, or in a safe nature space. I am open to exploring cost and work within a sliding scale of typically about $75-$175 per hour for an assumed average of either 3 or 6 hours of Journey time (depending on plant, meditation, or medicine) and at least 4 hours of Prep and Integration time together. For the longer plant journeys this is 10 hours total generally across a few weeks. Please plan to compensate me for 6 journey hours even if we actually go for a couple hours more or a couple less. I do this averaging of 6 hours of journeying so that you are not trying to think about time and money while in the middle of a deep journey. At hours 8 and beyond, which is an uncommonly long journey, I do ask for $150 an hour and we can navigate that payment in Integration afterward. Payment in full for our assumed 10 hours is great prior to our journeying however I will work with you. Please check out policies here.
I have seen people walk away with a lot less emotional and energetic weight and even joyfully leave their home or stop reaching for a substance after being unable to. I would love to offer you integration support. Hear from people who have journeyed with me.
I orient to medicines and sober journey space with frameworks such as parts work, energy work, body awareness, meditation, ego disillusionment and/or enhancement, nature allyship, soul retrieval, dream analysis, social context, nuerodivergence and more.

Psilocybin Journeys
Often, our symptoms related to (C)PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other diagnoses stem from trauma, oppression, and stuck energy. Psilocybin opens us up to repressed perspectives, sensory engagement, play, historical experiences, Source, and our full range of emotions. Psilocybin journeys give you the opportunity to transmute experiences into learning and expansion by honoring and feeling into them. Psilocybin is legal for personal use in the Denver area.
Cannabis Journeys
Cannabis is a wonderful ally for engaging one’s body sensations as messages and messengers. Movement, such as flow-state dance, small yogic adjustments, and felt-sense impulses, or attuned stillness are invited by cannabis and quite supportive to potentially releasing what no longer serves or inviting new possibilities. Cannabis can also support embracing parts of self that want to be re-integrated into your being. Cannabis is legal in Colorado.
Foundational Awarenesses
Let’s hold an openness to the idea that what shows up on the level of thinking or physicality could be a mirror of emotional, spiritual, historical, social, past life, or generational terrain. Basically, what shows up in one area is sometimes echoed in other areas of one’s life. Multiple areas of one’s life can be transformed by tuning into one area in new ways and allowing a ripple effect.
We open to guidance that is of the good of each of us and all. As aspects of nature and the universe, we open to ourselves and our internal wisdom.
Energy attached to difficult thoughts or memories can be transmuted via heat and surrender to feeling, shaking, visualizing and natural flow. In general energy can move within or out of the body and one’s system in the form of exhaling, shaking, flicking, belching, vomiting, spitting, sighing, crying, laughing, angering, and releasing tension in the fascia (via yin stretching or doing micro movements in our work together).
Energy and parts of self can move in and fill voided emotional and physical spaces for safety, healing, self-remembering or support via breathing into an area, tapping, visuals, sounds, colors, elements, guides, animal visitations, intentions, hands above, physical supports like blankets, and more.
Basically, energy in the form of thoughts, feels, and experiences can be cleansed, transmuted or moved with acceptance, compassion, understanding, stones, music, sunlight, bird wings, intention, imagination, hands, water, earth, fire, whistling, blowing, smudging, communion with body, allowing sensation-emotion-thought, and communicating with nature.
All of this is welcome and either one of us could express any of these as we work with your energy body to invite new ways of being or recall alternate healthy ways.
Again, we open to guidance that is of the good of each of us and all. As aspects of nature and the universe, we open to ourselves and our internal wisdom.
If I am not the guide for you I respect that fully — here is a list of facilitator options for you to explore.
