Psychedelic Preparation & Integration
Turn your experience from transient to transformational with attuned presence and support.
The decision to engage with psychedelics is deeply personal. Your intentions might include improving your mental health, healing from trauma, deepening relationships, or connecting with your creativity.
Understanding your nervous system and how to access safety within is essential to reducing harm and setting yourself up for lasting and sustainable change, no matter what your motives might be. The good news is you don’t have to go at it alone.
Psychedelic Preparation and Integration supports you in clarifying intentions, building internal and external resources, and exploring meaning-making after a non-ordinary experience, without processing trauma, treating symptoms, or interpreting the experience clinically.
Psychedelic preparation focuses on building nervous system safety, emotional regulation, and embodied awareness before an experience. Think of it like preparing a garden for the spring; if we want to maximize our growth with a fruitful and abundant crop, we need to be intentional about how we get there.
Integration supports the body in metabolizing what emerged- sensations, emotions, images, and insights- so they can be gently woven into daily life. This is where we sift through, weed, and organize what has surfaced in your garden so that your experience becomes both meaningful and manageable.
Current research shows that psychedelic-assisted experiences, when approached with proper care and support, may help people heal from trauma, depression, anxiety, and other mental health challenges.
Substances such as psilocybin, MDMA, ketamine, and LSD are being studied for their ability to temporarily increase emotional openness, reduce fear-based defenses, and support new patterns of meaning-making and connection. It’s important to note that the benefits seen in research are not due to the substances alone, but to the context, support, and integration surrounding the experience.
Psychedelic preparation and integration coaching does not involve the administration, facilitation, or recommendation of psychedelic substances, nor does it replace psychotherapy or medical care. Coaching is offered for educational and supportive purposes only and is intended to help clients work safely and responsibly within the legal, medical, and personal frameworks available to them.
