Bridging science and spirituality to support healing, wellbeing and flourishing

Offerings

  • 1:1 sessions are designed to support you at any stage - whether you are preparing for an upcoming psychedelic experience, processing a recent retreat, integrating a clinical psychedelic-assisted therapy session, or making sense of a personal exploration with plant medicines.

  • I currently offer women’s psilocybin and somatic-based retreats that support deep healing, reconnection, and embodied transformation. Mixed-gender retreats will be available again later in 2026.

    Psilocybin is a beautiful medicine to work with. It can bring clarity and connection, gently softening old patterns and opening access to deeper layers of insight and emotional truth. Research shows that it supports neuroplasticity and increases our capacity to feel, reflect, and relate in ways that are healthier and more aligned. Many people also experience a sense of deep meaning, expansion, or interconnectedness during their psilocybin journey. This mystical-type experience is closely associated with long-lasting shifts in wellbeing.

    Within the retreat setting, participants are held with expert facilitation, the group field, somatic practices, and ongoing integration practices and support. On the other side of the experience, people often describe feeling more authentic, more resilient, and more connected to themselves, to others, and to the natural world.

  • After working across both clinical psychedelic-assisted therapy and ceremonial contexts, I’ve become increasingly aware of the widening gap between these two ways of holding expanded states of consciousness. While safety and containment are essential, there is a real risk that psychedelic-assisted therapy becomes overly sanitised, losing its connection to the sacred as it is adapted to fit within a medical model. At the same time, this work is becoming increasingly vulnerable to corporatisation and commodification.

    Bridging Worlds: Where Science Meets Spirit has slowly emerged as my response to this tension.

    This six-month immersive training brings together clinical understanding, somatic and relational awareness, and ceremonial practice. It is designed for practitioners who feel called to hold this work with cultural humility, embodied presence, and deep reverence.

    You can find more details under Training.

  • I am part of the teaching faculty for several psychedelic therapy organisations, supporting therapists and clinicians through online and experiential training, as well as 1:1 mentorship. My mentoring work offers personalised guidance for those seeking to deepen their practice in this relational and transformative field.

  • I regularly speak at conferences and events exploring psychedelic-assisted therapy, somatic and relational healing, expanded-state facilitation, psycho-spiritual care, and the bridge between science and spirituality.

    Alongside this, I consult with organisations, governments, and policymakers on the ethical, safe, and effective integration of psychedelic-assisted therapy. My consultancy offers best-practice guidance, education, and training for those working in psychedelic care, integrative mental health, and psycho-spiritual contexts.

Areas of Work

Bridging Science & Spirituality

My work sits at the meeting point of science and spirituality, bringing together my background in psychiatry and psychedelic-assisted therapy with relational, somatic, and trauma-informed approaches. I am also guided by a deep respect for Earth-based traditions and ancestral ways of knowing, which remind us that we are relational beings, deeply connected to each other and the living world.

A central part of my work is supporting people before, during, and after psychedelic experiences. I believe psychedelics have the greatest potential when held within a wider framework of preparation, embodiment, community, and integration. At the heart of this is reconnection: with ourselves, with each other, and with what gives our lives meaning and purpose.

These principles also inform Bridging Worlds, a six-month training programme I co-created for practitioners working with psychedelics and altered states. The programme brings together clinical and therapeutic approaches with somatic, relational, ceremonial, and Earth-based ways of holding space. Our first cohort of 20 practitioners is currently underway, with dates for 2027 coming soon.

Community & Communitas

Over the years, my focus has gradually evolved from individual psychedelic-assisted therapy towards group programmes, retreats, and ceremony. In these communal settings, the experience becomes a shared journey, with the group itself becoming an important part of the process.

Through years of facilitating groups, I have witnessed what can happen when people come together in a space held with love: love as belonging, love as presence, and love as the willingness to walk alongside one another through the complexity and mystery of being human.

Many of us move through life feeling disconnected or alone, longing for community and meaningful connection. And because so much of our wounding happens in relationship, there is something powerful about healing in relationship too: being witnessed, supported, accepted, and reminded that we do not have to navigate everything alone.

Women’s Health & Wellbeing

A central part of my work is supporting women’s health and wellbeing across different stages of life. Through retreats and group programmes, I create spaces where women can slow down, turn inward, reconnect with their bodies, and spend time in connection with other women.

These programmes bring together somatic practices, time in nature, creativity, community, and ceremony, supporting nervous system regulation, inner exploration, and a deeper connection to ourselves, each other, and the natural world.

There is something deeply healing about gathering with other women and having the space to be seen, heard, and witnessed. A chance to slow down, reconnect with parts of ourselves that can get lost in the busyness of everyday life, and rediscover more joy, connection, and a sense of wholeness.

Psycho-Spiritual Care

I also support people living with life-threatening illness through psycho-spiritual care, creating space to explore some of the deeper questions that can arise around fear and uncertainty, meaning and mortality, and what it means to live well in the midst of it all.

Research suggests that psychedelic-assisted therapy may help ease cancer-related psychological and existential distress, while supporting connection, meaning, peace, and acceptance. Drawing on this research, I co-created and facilitate Returning to Wholeness, a group retreat for women living with and beyond cancer. Bringing together somatic practices, a psilocybin ceremony, creativity, nature, and community, the retreat offers women space to reconnect with themselves, their bodies, each other, and with meaning, joy, and possibility beyond cancer.

In 2026, we ran two funded Returning to Wholeness retreats in the Netherlands, and hope to offer the retreat again for free in 2027. For future retreat dates and updates, please visit Returning to Wholeness.
