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 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, compassion and trust.

At the heart of my work is the intentional and reverent use of sacred plant medicines (psychedelics), offering an opportunity to explore your inner world and reconnect with your true essence. I also focus on somatic practices to help you regulate your nervous system, deepen your self-awareness, and invite authentic expression. This body-led approach helps restore a felt sense of inner safety, wholeness, and aliveness.

In addition to in-person retreats held in Europe, I offer personalised online preparation and integration sessions to ensure that altered-state experiences are held within a supportive and safe container. Integration is a gradual process - an 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. 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.

BEYOND PERSONAL HEALING

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. By slowing down and deepening your relationship with Earth and Spirit, you step into a space of connection, collective care and right relationship.

PSYCHO-SPIRITUAL CARE

I am particularly passionate about supporting individuals navigating life-threatening illness by helping to reduce anxiety and existential distress, while offering a pathway toward peace, acceptance, and greater meaning.

Research increasingly shows that psycho-spiritual care, including psychedelic-assisted therapy, can significantly enhance well-being at the end of life. By increasing a sense of interconnectedness, supporting emotional processing, facilitating closure in relationships, and enhancing feelings of 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.
