BRIDGING SCIENCE & 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 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 holistic spaces that support emotional and soulful growth.
At the heart of my work is the intentional and reverent use of sacred plant medicines (psychedelics), alongside somatic practices that nurture nervous system regulation, self-awareness, and authentic expression. This body-led approach helps restore a felt sense of inner safety, wholeness, and vitality.
COMMUNITAS
Over recent years, my focus has evolved from clinical psychedelic-assisted therapy to group programmes, retreats, and ceremonies. These spaces are designed to support shared healing, where collective experience becomes a powerful aspect of the therapeutic process.
Many of us move through life feeling disconnected and isolated, longing for community and meaningful connection. Since trauma often originates in relationships, it makes sense that healing also takes place within the safety of connection. In these group settings, healing becomes a shared journey - where the group itself becomes part of the medicine.
Through years of facilitating group work, I have 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. In these spaces we move toward collective healing and the remembrance of our wholeness beyond the illusion of separation.
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.
Using an integrative mind-body-spirit approach, and weaving holistic modalities, somatic practices, and ceremony, this work supports nervous system regulation, emotional and hormonal balance, and a deeper sense of connection - to self, to community, and to the Earth.
Gathering in sisterhood offers space to be seen, heard, and to reconnect with joy, vitality, and belonging.

EARTH-BASED WISDOM
I’m increasingly called to explore how we might live in gentler, more reciprocal partnership with the Earth. While Western culture often emphasises individuality, many ancestral traditions teach us that true healing happens in relationship - with yourself, others, and 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.
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.
