You've had your journey, now what?
Integration is where the real work to incorporate what you learned from your Psychedelic experience begins.
Post-journey, your brain retains a certain level of neuroplasticity, making it an ideal time to implement new habits and attitudes, and move on from old behaviors or thoughts that no longer serve you.
Reviewing your intentions and integrating what you experienced during your trip sets the stage for healing and lasting change.
The process of integration is ongoing, and it is not uncommon to continue to receive valuable insights and aha moments long after your Psychedelic healing journey is over
Psychedelics are emerging as a powerful catalyst for personal evolution and psychedelic healing. Many of us have become disconnected—from ourselves, from each other, and from the natural world. We’re overwhelmed, overstimulated, and often trapped in roles, careers, or relationships that no longer fit. Despite our efforts to “do the work,” we repeat the same patterns. Traditional therapy can sometimes feel like it leads nowhere. These natural plant medicines invite us back to our authentic selves, revealing who we were before expectations, conditioning, and culture shaped us. With the guidance of a trip sitter, these ancient medicines offer a profound reset—an opportunity to remember, realign, and begin again.
Psychedelics have been used throughout history to expand consciousness, accelerate personal growth, and facilitate healing and transformation. They remind us of our connection to nature, each other, and the universe. These sacred medicines open doors of perception, revealing new insights and understanding of who you truly are, and can lead to profound revelations.
Psychedelics help facilitate emotional healing and reconnection. By suppressing the brain's default mode network, rigid thought patterns can be released and reframed, facilitating healing from trauma and fostering spiritual growth. Having a knowledgeable and trauma-informed trip sitter can enhance this experience by ensuring a safe and supportive environment.
Psychedelics are being used to help address a variety of mental health issues, from treatment-resistant depression and anxiety to PTSD and OCD. By facilitating deeper levels of emotional processing and introspection, these natural plant medicines can significantly reduce or even eliminate symptoms, resulting in a more positive outlook on life. Studies have shown that a psychedelic healing journey, combined with proper integration, can also help break the cycle of addiction by addressing the root cause, and rewiring the neural pathways to eliminate cravings.
Natural plant medicines can provide new perspectives and coping mechanisms that aid in healing and recovering from trauma. Understanding your triggers and practicing mindfulness can help you regain control of your emotions and lead a more balanced life. Psychedelics help alleviate the symptoms of PTSD by allowing the body and mind to process and release the stored trauma of past experiences, especially when supported by complementary psychiatric therapy.
Psychedelics, and psilocybin in particular, can provide comfort to those facing a terminal diagnosis or receiving palliative care. This natural plant medicine can ease the stress and grief associated with the end of life experience by helping individuals accept death as a natural transition that does not need to be feared. Through psychedelic healing, their remaining time can become more calm, meaningful and stress-free.
I work exclusively with Psilocybin, also known as Magic Mushrooms, and Cannabis. While the use of Psilocybin is still technically illegal, it is becoming more mainstream, and Vancouver was one of the first Canadian cities to decriminalize this natural plant medicine. Please note that I DO NOT promote, provide, procure, or prescribe ANY medicine. It is the client's responsibility to source their own medicine, which can easily be procured in local dispensaries or online. As a Trip Sitter, I support individuals in their journey towards psychedelic healing by providing proper preparation, integration and support.
Psychedelics are a powerful tool for transformation. While t's beneficial to have done some spiritual exploration beforehand rather than using these substances as your initial entry into spirituality, being open-minded is also an important factor in determining your readiness. During our Discovery Call, we'll discuss the risks and benefits of these Natural Plant Medicines, your intent and motivation, and what's required in terms of preparation to assess your readiness. When you've decided you're ready to proceed, we will customize a personalized medicine session tailored to your unique needs, and ensure you have the proper support needed to support your experience.
If you are taking SSRIs or other anti-depressants, or have suspected or diagnosed mental health conditions like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, the use of psychedelic substances is not recommended. I encourage everyone to seek the advice of their doctor or therapist prior to considering the potential benefits of any Natural Plant Medicine and engaging in any form of Psychedelic Healing. Please note that if you decide to explore these substances, it's imperative to have a knowledgeable Trip Sitter to support you for harm-reduction purposes.
My role is to mentally, physically, and spiritually prepare you for your journey; to obtain your informed consent acknowledging your understanding of the risks and benefits of using Natural Plant Medicine like Psilocybin, as well as your agreement to follow the specified rules. I hold space for your experience in a compassionate, respectful, and non-judgmental manner. As your Trip Sitter, I provide assistance and ensure you are safe and comfortable during your journey and help support you with the successful integration of your experience afterwards. In other words, I'm with you every step of the way on this path of Psychedelic Healing!
For your safety and discretion, your journey should be held in a private home. A comfortable setting that is uncluttered, private, and free from any interruptions or distractions, such as family members, pets, or neighbors, is extremely important. A quiet, restful place close to nature is ideal, as settings that are chaotic or distracting can adversely impact your experience and should be avoided. If you don't have access to a suitable space, consider looking for an alternate location that meets these requirements. Having the proper setting for your psychedelic healing journey is just as important as having the right mindset.
Preparing for a psychedelic journey takes time and commitment. The more time you spend preparing for your psilocybin experience upfront, the better outcome you'll have. I recommend setting aside at least three days to optimize your experience. The first day should be dedicated to getting into the right mindset in preparation for your journey, while the second day is for the actual trip itself, which typically lasts 4 - 6 hours. The third day is for processing and integrating your experience while it is still fresh in your mind. If possible, taking additional time off after your journey is highly encouraged, as a more gradual transition back to reality can be jarring.
Yes, however, I recommend they don't journey at the same time as their partner. These ceremonies are intensely personal, and your partner's presence or reactions can easily detract from your own experience, which can limit the benefits of the experience for both parties.
Yes, I'm happy to collaborate with any healthcare providers who are open to the potential benefits psychedelics have to offer, and want to support their client's well-being through the use of natural plant medicines.
Psychedelics hold amazing potential for psychedelic healing, but they are not a quick fix, so it's important not to have that expectation. The success of your journey largely depends on how well you prepared for your experience beforehand and the quality of the integration work you do post-journey. A psychedelic journey is not all unicorns and rainbows; prepare to be challenged and to experience difficult moments or uncomfortable emotions. As a Trip Sitter and facilitator, I am responsible for assisting you and ensuring your safety during the ceremony. While I am not a professional psychiatrist, therapist, or counselor, I am happy to collaborate with yours should you wish to have additional support for your journey. Supportive touch and/or energy healing is available with previous consent on request—no sexual touching of any kind is permitted. I act in a harm-reduction capacity; verbal abuse, aggressive behavior towards yourself or others, or damaging the journey space will not be tolerated. I serve clients in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, Canada, but traveling to you may be an option. Should you decide to book a journey after our Discovery Call, you will be asked to complete a screening form as part of the intake process, along with a waiver prior to your journey. A non-refundable deposit of $500 is required at the time of booking, with the balance due prior to your journey. Your privacy is important—your personal information and our conversations are confidential and will not be shared with anyone.
