BRIDGING SCIENCE & SPIRITUALITY

Drawing on my background in psychiatry, psychedelic-assisted therapy, and group psilocybin retreat facilitation, my work honours the full spectrum of human experience - mind, body, heart, and soul. By integrating modern psychotherapeutic approaches with the wisdom of ancient traditions, I support individuals in their journey toward greater emotional, psychological, and spiritual wellbeing.

MY APPROACH

Grounded in relational, somatic, and trauma-informed care, my approach centres on creating collaborative, compassionate, and safe spaces to support healing, growth, and transformation.

At the heart of my work is the intentional and reverent use of sacred plant medicines (psychedelics), woven with body-based practices that cultivate nervous system regulation, embodied safety, and authentic expression.

COMMUNITAS

In recent years my focus has evolved from clinical psychedelic-assisted therapy to group programmes, retreats, and ceremonies. In these communal settings, the experience becomes a shared journey where the group itself is an essential part of the healing process.

Through years of facilitating group work, I’ve witnessed how this approach flourishes when held in a container of love - love as belonging; love as presence; love as the courage to walk alongside one another in the complex mystery of being human.

Many of us move through life feeling disconnected and isolated, longing for community and meaningful connection. Since trauma often originates in relationship, it makes sense that healing requires a relational container - one where it feels safe to be witnessed and held.

WOMEN’S HEALTH & WELLBEING

A central part of my work is supporting women’s health and wellbeing across all stages of life. Through retreats and group programmes, I hold spaces where women can slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with the natural intelligence of their bodies.

Each group programme weaves together holistic modalities, somatic practices, and ceremony to support nervous system regulation, emotional and hormonal balance, and a deeper sense of connection - to self, to community, and to the Earth.

Gathering in community - in sisterhood - creates space to be seen, heard, and held. It invites a return to joy, vitality, and the deep belonging so many of us long for.

EARTH-BASED WISDOM

My work is guided by reverence for Earth-based traditions and the wisdom held in ancestral ways of knowing. While Western culture often emphasises separation and individualism, many ancestral traditions remind us that true healing happens in relationship; with ourselves, each other, and the living world. The group retreats I facilitate honour this relational way of being, creating sanctuaries where you can pause, reconnect, and attune to the deeper rhythms of life.

PSYCHO-SPIRITUAL CARE

As part of my work, I’m passionate about supporting individuals navigating life-threatening illness, offering a compassionate approach that helps reduce anxiety and existential distress.

Research increasingly shows that psycho-spiritual care, including psychedelic-assisted therapy, can significantly enhance wellbeing at the end of life. By increasing a sense of interconnectedness, supporting emotional processing, facilitating closure in relationships, and enhancing feelings of peace, gratitude, and acceptance, these experiences can reduce existential anxiety and make the dying process feel less daunting and more aligned with the natural cycle of life.
