BRIDGING SCIENCE AND SPIRITUALITY

With a background in psychiatry, psychedelic-assisted therapy, and group retreat facilitation, my work honours the full spectrum of human experience - mind, body, heart, and soul. By weaving modern psychotherapeutic approaches with the wisdom of ancient traditions, I help support individuals seeking greater emotional, psychological, and spiritual wellbeing.

MY APPROACH

Grounded in relational, somatic, and trauma-informed care, my approach centres on creating spaces of safety and compassion, allowing healing and growth to unfold in their own time.

At the heart of my work is the intentional and respectful use of sacred plant medicines (psychedelics) to support deep inner work and guide you gently back to your true essence. I also work with somatic practices to support nervous system regulation, deepen self-awareness, and invite authentic expression. This body-led, bottom-up approach helps restore a felt sense of safety, wholeness, and aliveness.

In addition to in-person retreats held in Europe, I offer personalised online preparation and integration support, ensuring that altered-state experiences are approached with care, intention, and reverence. Integration is a gradual, ongoing journey of insight, meaning-making, and embodied transformation.

COMMUNITAS

Over recent years my focus has evolved from clinical psychedelic-assisted therapy to group programmes, retreats, and ceremonies, where I have witnessed the profound healing that emerges through shared experiences and collective support. In these spaces healing often becomes a shared journey - where the group itself becomes part of the medicine.

The more time I spend in group settings, the more I can see how this work flourishes when held in a container of love - love as truth and presence; love as deep belonging; love as the courage to walk alongside each other in the complex mystery of being human; love as a universal force calling us home to ourselves and one another.

BEYOND PERSONAL HEALING

While Western culture often emphasises individuality, many ancestral traditions teach us that true healing happens in relationship - with ourselves, with others, and with the natural world. The group retreats I facilitate honour this wisdom, creating sanctuaries where you can pause, reconnect, and attune with the deeper rhythms of life.

Set in beautiful natural environments, these retreats weave together embodiment practices, somatic therapy, trauma release (TRE), nature connection, ritual, and ceremony. By slowing down and deepening your relationship with Earth and Spirit, you can step into a space of collective care and right relationship with all of life.

PSYCHO-SPIRITUAL CARE

I’m especially passionate about supporting those navigating life-threatening illness, helping ease anxiety and existential distress while offering a potential pathway to peace, acceptance, and greater meaning.
