I became a psilocybin facilitator because I know what it is to be stuck, and I know what it is to find your way back through the medicine.

My path here runs through lived adversity, intergenerational trauma, substance overuse as a teenager, a lifetime of GI issues and migraines, motherhood, divorce, and years of searching for healing that actually held. What finally cracked something open was the medicine itself, and guidance from what I call “my mushroom people”. These sacred experiences didn't just change me. They redirected my life.

For seven years I moved through this space quietly—accompanying people, learning the medicine, building an understanding of what this work actually requires. In 2023 I joined the first cohort at the Alma Institute in Oregon and became a certified psilocybin facilitator, bringing formal structure to what had already become my life's work. I also hold a health coaching certification from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (2012) and completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training with Sri Dharma Mittra in New York City (2007). I have spoken at the Psychedelic Science Conference and the Shulgin Foundation, and my work sits at the intersection of plant medicine, hormonal health, and cyclical consciousness.

People tell me I hold space in a way that is both grounded and sacred—that I'm down-to-earth and deeply intuitive, that they feel safe enough to go somewhere they couldn't have gone alone. That I notice things. That when something unexpected arises in a session, I know what to do. I don't take any of that lightly. This work asks everything of a facilitator, and I bring everything I have.

While I work with people identifying as men and women, I have a particular focus on women's hormonal health: perimenopause, menstrual cycles, the passages that Western medicine names but rarely honors. As someone moving through perimenopause myself, this is not theoretical. I came to this work through my own body, my own reckoning, my own medicine. The intersection of cyclical consciousness and psilocybin is not a niche I found—it's one I've been living.
