How do I prepare for a ceremony?

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.
