Harm Reduction, Public Speaking, Workshops, and Organizational Training
Psychedelic education is entering a new era. Hospitals, nonprofits, companies, community groups, and policy leaders are seeking grounded, trustworthy guidance in a field that is expanding faster than most people can follow. My work is to offer clarity, safety, and depth. I weave science and spirit, technological innovation and ancient wisdom, trauma informed care and spiritual discernment.
Through public speaking, workshops, organizational training, integration circles, and community based learning, I help people and institutions understand psychedelics through a lens of responsibility, reverence, and relational intelligence. Education is fully legal and does not involve administering substances. It prepares individuals, teams, and communities to engage this work with informed, ethical, and intentional practice.
Rates vary based on format, location, and scope. You’re invited to reach out or book a discovery call.
A Foundation of Harm Reduction and Integrity
Harm reduction is not simply a set of protocols. It is a worldview rooted in respect, humility, trauma awareness, nervous system literacy, and cultural sensitivity. Psychedelic states can open, reorganize, or overwhelm the psyche. Many professionals including clinicians, hospital staff, nonprofits, veteran organizations, first responders, spiritual leaders, and community organizers are already supporting people navigating these experiences, often without formal training.
My work is to help them do so safely, ethically, and with relational skill.
My Approach
My approach brings the science, legality, and safety of psychedelic work into direct conversation with the inner life of each person present. I teach the latest research and policy developments alongside reflection, embodiment, and relational awareness. Every offering is customized to the needs of the community individuals, families, clinicians, leaders, veteran groups, or institutions so they can engage this field with clarity and integrity.
Lived Experience, Professional Depth, and Human Resilience
Psychedelics played a central role in healing trauma from military service, childhood wounds, and identity collapse, guiding me through hundreds of hours of supported experiences and years of integration. I have guided several hundred individuals through preparation, ceremony, and integration, allowing me to speak to substance specific nuances, emotional emergence, spiritual emergency, and long term healing trajectories.
As a Marine Corps veteran and former intelligence professional, I understand trauma, transition, and moral injury from the inside. I work closely with veteran organizations supporting those in crisis and those exploring alternative healing paths. I also support communities navigating grief, suicidality, spiritual emergency, end of life concerns, and identity based stigma. My presence is grounded, steady, and compassionate across the full spectrum of human experience.
Leadership, Innovation, Science, and Spiritual Depth
Before becoming a guide, I spent more than a decade as a mental health innovation executive and consultant across government agencies, pharmaceutical teams, wellness companies, veteran nonprofits, and early stage startups. I understand leadership psychology, organizational pressure, and the complexity of institutional change.
My teaching integrates neuroscience, trauma physiology, emotional literacy, somatic regulation, biofeedback, meditation, breathwork, parts work, and spiritual development. I also work with advanced technologies such as AI assisted integration tools and wellness devices. Having lived in ashrams and monasteries, I bring contemplative traditions that emphasize presence, compassion, and service.
This multidimensional background allows me to connect with scientists, clinicians, executives, technologists, spiritual seekers, and veteran communities with equal fluency.
Regenerative Design, Biomimicry, and Nature-Based Intelligence
My graduate work in biomimicry and regenerative development shapes how I teach. I use nature’s intelligence to illuminate human development, leadership, community building, and psychedelic integration. Nature offers a template for resilience, adaptability, and systemic thinking.
I regularly bridge biologists with executives, indigenous leaders with policymakers, researchers with spiritual practitioners. Many programs include nature immersion, walking meditation, and ecosystem based reflection for groups seeking deeper connection and embodied learning.
Journey Home Framework and Developmental Education
Journey Home synthesizes trauma recovery, contemplative practice, psychedelic insight, technological innovation, and regenerative design into a single developmental map. It helps individuals and teams understand their growth over time through reflective tools, psychographic mapping, behavioral insights, and nature inspired metaphors.
All education is rooted in this developmental orientation. I do not simply deliver information. I invite introspection, dialogue, embodiment, and relational awareness. Participants explore values, identity, responsibility, and the systems they inhabit. Every program is adapted to the needs and sensitivities of the group.

The guide can be adapted to your organization, including customized ethics sections, trauma informed practices, integration protocols, or tailored language. It also forms the basis of my upcoming guide curriculum and can be used within multi session trainings and leadership programs. Additional writings are available in the Learn section.
Booking and Inquiries
Education is a collaborative process. Many organizations, veteran programs, and healthcare teams are already supporting people who turn toward psychedelics without formal training. Education helps them respond with clarity and care.
I offer everything from brief introductory conversations to full institutional trainings. The next step is to book a discovery call. During this call, we will clarify your goals, your audience, and your needs, and I will prepare a customized proposal with recommended formats and pricing. I look forward to connecting with your community.
