Do you provide psychedelic substances?
No. You must independently source them. Our No Medicine Included (NMI) policy ensures clear ethical boundaries. I guide you through preparation, storage, testing, and harm reduction, but do not supply or recommend direct sourcing.
What safety and ethical practices do you follow?
My work is grounded in confidential, trauma-informed support, informed consent, and harm reduction. I use HIPAA-compliant tools for secure communication and data handling, provide education around substance testing and safe storage, and help clients understand relevant legal considerations, including RFRA guidance where applicable. I also remain connected to ongoing supervision, peer consultation, and ethical networks as part of maintaining accountability in this work.
How do you approach harm reduction?
My work is grounded in harm reduction. Many adults will explore psychedelics whether or not ideal legal pathways are available, so I focus on helping people approach these experiences with greater preparation, discernment, safety, reverence, and care. That can include education, screening, substance testing and storage guidance, ceremony support, integration, and coordination with medical or mental health professionals when appropriate.
Do you sit with clients during ceremony?
Yes. When appropriate after screening and preparation, I remain physically present with clients throughout the ceremony, which often lasts nine hours or more. My role is to support the setting, pacing, safety, and relational container so clients are not navigating a vulnerable experience alone or without meaningful preparation and integration support.
What legal risks should I know?
Psychedelic laws vary by substance, jurisdiction, and context. I do not sell or distribute controlled substances, and I provide guidance on RFRA and other relevant legal considerations where appropriate. Full informed consent is essential, and I encourage clients to understand the potential legal implications, make informed decisions, and seek local legal advice when needed. In my experience, including conversations with law enforcement professionals, enforcement attention has generally focused more on trafficking, commercial distribution, and larger-scale illegal production than on individuals engaged in sincere personal healing or spiritual practice. That does not remove legal risk or guarantee how any agency may respond.
Where are you based and do you travel?
I’m based between the Phoenix region and Portland, Maine, which serve as my primary hubs, and I travel frequently throughout the United States for client work as needed. Portland has deprioritized enforcement of natural entheogens. I operate within the legal boundaries of state and federal law, and clients remain responsible for understanding the laws that apply in their own jurisdiction.
Who is a good fit for your work?
Emotionally and physically ready individuals.
Those under mental health care should coordinate with their providers.
People with serious mental or physical health conditions must be evaluated for safety.
What qualifications and experience do you have?
Ordained minister, trauma-informed guide, and integration specialist.
Trained in Indigenous ceremonial lineages (Shipibo, Mazatec, Andean, etc.).
Trained in clinical-informed preparation and integration protocols for MDMA and psilocybin, including harm reduction, somatic tracking, and trauma-aware practices.
Facilitated hundreds of ceremonies since 2022; decades of personal experience.
Active leadership in psychedelic policy and church space stewardship.
What is the Journey Home project?
A digital ecosystem and archive mapping the full arc of psychedelic integration, anonymized case studies, evolving tools, and an emerging AI reflection companion to illuminate transformation processes.
How do you protect my privacy?
All sessions may be securely recorded (with consent) for integration and reflection purposes.
Transcripts are stored in HIPAA–compliant systems (Homecoming, Fathom, Plaud).
You control what’s recorded, accessed, or deleted.
Participation in Journey Home is optional, voluntary, and anonymized.
Can I get testimonials or references?
Yes, visit the Testimonials page to hear from clients across professions and experiences. Common themes include safety, presence, integration, and profound healing.
How do I prepare for a ceremony?
Read and follow your Ceremony Readiness Guide
Slow down new inputs (media/podcasts) as the ceremony approaches.
Plan intentions, set and setting, logistics, and substance testing protocols.
Do you offer support for microdosing?
Yes, designed to support emotional balance, creativity, and resilience with low-dose protocols, tracking, and harm reduction coaching.
What happens after a ceremony?
Integration is where the real transformation unfolds. Most clients choose to continue working together for several months or years, with coaching sessions every other week to anchor insights, navigate transitions, and bring the sacred into everyday life.
Many return for multiple ceremonies over years, allowing each one to build on the last, supporting a gradual, grounded evolution from one chapter of life to another.
Integration sessions include somatic tools, structured reflection, emotional support, and spiritual practices tailored to your journey. We walk the path together, not just through peak experiences, but through the meaningful, lived embodiment of who you are becoming.
