If you are interested in working with psychedelics for your positive growth, either through micro-dosing or through a psychedelic ceremony/ retreat, integration coaching will help you plan and integrate your psychedelic experience, and to create optimum wellbeing and massive change in your mindset and your life.

This coaching is grounded in the neuroscience of recent psychedelic research trials, working with the neuroplasticity derived from psychedelic experiences to create lasting positive change.

My integration coaching blends modern coaching psychology, applied positive psychology, existential coaching, shamanic plant medicine knowledge, and Eastern frameworks for navigating transpersonal experiences.

My work also explore the union of mind, body and spirit through shamanic practice, yoga and meditation and hopes to help clients release blocked energy, trauma and anxiety stored in the body, bringing forth a renewed sense of creativity and well-being.

I weave together a scientific and spiritual approach which allows my clients to feel psychologically safe and grounded whilst also exploring the transpersonal nature of their psychedelic experiences.

From my time living in Ashrams in India, to Ayahuasca Retreat Centre’s in the Costa Rican Jungle (to a Catholic Nunnery in Tenerife!), I have lots of lived experience using a multitude of ancient frameworks for creating and integrating transcendent experiences from Yoga traditions and Medicine Paths of South Americas (in particular, the Secoya Ayahuasca Tradition) and connecting with the divine.

My integration coaching also draws on both psychological and existential themes, allowing clients to create a deeper understanding of themselves and they way they think and behave in certain ways.

This gives you an ability to consciously work towards creating more helpful thoughts, beliefs and actions as well as bringing in evidence-based positive psychology interventions to improve well-being.

Depending on what you have experienced in your psychedelic journey it may be right to incorporate in our coaching aspects of Positive Psychology, Cognitive Behavioural Coaching, Polyvagal theory, Internal Family Systems and Inner-Child work, Jungian Psychology and Shadow work, Soultions-focused Coaching, Existential Coaching, Mindfulness Based Coaching and other evidence-based holistic practices for wellbeing and behavioural change such as positive psychology interventions, mindfulness practices, yoga asana (postures), nervous system regulation practices, self-compassion work, meditation, journalling prompts.

Along with the psychology-based coaching and holistic practices, I can also draw on other ceremonial, transpersonal, shamanic and esoteric practices; music, energy work, tarot and oracle card readings, mantras, pranayama, yoga nidra (a state of consciousness between waking and sleeping, induced by a guided meditation similar to hypnosis), affirmations, visualisations, spells, crystals, and manifestation practices in my sessions.

Psychedelic Research

I researched psychedelics during my masters in relation to positive psychology and coaching psychology (Masters in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology at UEL). The research I worked on suggested that psychedelics were not just good for healing sick people, and that there was a great deal of potential in the positive psychology benefits to ‘healthy normal’ people too.

Research was showing the effects of working with psychedelics and these brain changes ranged from having transcendental spiritual experiences, to increasing creativity, mindfulness, gratitude, connection to nature and life satisfaction, to changing behaviours and ways of thinking in a very short time frame. Working with psychedelics was as powerful if not more so than any other postive psychology intervention I had studied during my masters.

The neuroscience research around psychedelics such as psilocybin (magic mushrooms) and LSD shows greater connectivity of different parts of the brain that don’t usually communicate with one another, along with a decrease in functions happening in the default mode network (our everyday autopilot). On top of that, it appears to increase the neuroplasticity of the brain, allowing fixed strucures the synapses follow to become more maleable and changeable.

Why Psychedelic Integration Coaching?

I have over a decade of personal experience learning from psychedelic plant medicines, and have professionally been in service to those on the plant medicine path since 2018.

After my postgraduate study in Applied Positive Psychology & Coaching Psychology, I did additional coach training and certified in existential coaching with Yannick Jacobs. It taught me how to explore some of the big questions psychedelic journey’s raise: Who am I? What is consciousness? What is awareness? What is death and what happens when you die? What is the meaning of life? What is my purpose? What is love? What or who is God?

Together Yannick & I later worked on a white paper around coaching and psychedelics, and also collaborated on creating the second symposium ‘Beyond Healing: Coaching & Psychedelics.’

In 2020, whilst I was out living and working in a gorgeous ayahuasca retreat centre in the jungles of Costa Rica, I created and became the presenter of the Out of Our Minds Show on Wellbeing Radio to share my fascination with the power of altered states of consciousness and their potential improve our wellbeing, creativity and spiritual connection.

I went on to create Conscious Enterprise LTD. in 2020 with aims of leading high-calibre legal Plant Medicine Retreats, Online Courses and Coaching for personal growth, but the pandemic fairly closely followed by my pregnancy meant that we were only able to lead one round of our flagship Conscious Being programmes before taking a break from operations for maternity.

My first experience with psychedelics was in my teens, taking liberty caps, a strong strain of magic mushrooms that grew naturally near to where I grew up. I was a curious teenager who was exploring them recreationally with little to no guidance and I found some trips to be amazing, fun and expansive and others were scary, painful, ‘bad trips’ due to me not really understanding how to work safely with them.

After a lot of trial and error, reading and learning from more experienced guides, I began to understand psychedelics and took them in the right mindset, dosage and setting. I have been an avid psychonaut and since my early 20s, taking regular trips to Amsterdam to connect with psilocybin truffles and I began my own journey with psychology and started to explore some of the healing and psychotherapeutic effects, using micro-dosing to help alleviate symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder , and using psychedelics alongside counselling to make drastic shifts in my mindset and my life and heal PTSD.

In my mid twenties, I used psychedelics as part of exploring expanded states of consciousness and exploring the meaning of life, which also took me to India several times, in and out of Ashrams and training to teach yoga. I found many parallels between the transcendental experiences I’d had in my spiritual practices as to those I’d had with psychedelics.

In my late 20s I also became a ceremonial plant medicine enthusiast exploring the spiritual settings of working with ayahuasca, san pedro and mushrooms in Peru and Costa Rica. This work brought in the mind, body and soul into in-depth inquiry into the nature of reality and the inner workings of the mind I had been so fascinated with.

In this interview, I share reflections from the worst trip of my life, how I got into psychedelic work, how plant medicines changed my life and how I found myself in an ayahuasca retreat centre in Costa Rica in the middle of a global pandemic.

In this podcast, I went deep on how Ayahuasca became my matchmaker and through following her nudges, she led me on a wild journey from commitment-phobe in the Costa Rican jungle to having a baby with the love of my life (in the space of a year!)
