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 spirit. 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, I work to co-create spaces of safety, compassion, and presence - allowing healing and growth to unfold in their own time. At the heart of this work is the intentional use of sacred plant medicines (psychedelics) as catalysts for transformation, embodiment, and reconnection.

Because the body holds our stories - of trauma, resilience, and deep wisdom - I integrate somatic practices to support both release and nervous system recalibration. In doing so, we move toward a more connected, embodied way of being.

Alongside in-person retreats, I offer individual online preparation and integration support, ensuring that altered-state experiences are approached with intention, care, and mindful integration into daily life.

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

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 realign 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, inviting you to deepen your connection with Earth and Spirit.

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 deeper meaning.
