Privacy, Consent, & the Sacred Stewardship of Your Story
This page outlines how your story, data, and healing journey are held with care, transparency, and sacred responsibility. Whether we are preparing, journeying, or integrating, everything here is rooted in mutual trust, trauma-informed ethics, and clear consent to support your sovereignty, safety, and transformation.
Unlike most guides, I provide a comprehensive written reflection after every session and ceremony, synthesizing not only what emerged in that experience, but what may be unfolding across the arc of our entire journey together. Through these summaries—and with the support of secure AI tools—we identify long-term patterns, symbolic threads, and insights that might otherwise go unnoticed. Technology is never used to replace human connection, but to enhance our shared capacity to see more clearly. This approach allows me to be fully present with you in session, knowing I can return later to review, reflect, and refine what we’re learning together.
Over time, as our work spans dozens or even hundreds of hours, this living record becomes a refined mirror of your becoming—one that is uniquely personal, deeply precise, and designed to support your return to wholeness.
You’ll find details on the use of recordings, HIPAA-compliant technologies, and AI-assisted reflection tools, as well as your rights to access, delete, or decline anything at any time. It also includes an optional invitation to share your story anonymously through the Journey Home initiative.
🎙️ 1. Why Record
All sessions and ceremonies may be recorded and transcribed—not for formality, but in service of your growth, self-realization, and integration. The primary reason for capturing our work is to help you more fully embody the lessons and breakthroughs that emerge. Being able to revisit key moments deepens clarity, reveals recurring patterns, and helps anchor the process of change over time.
Many clients find that knowing their experience is safely recorded allows them to surrender more deeply during altered states, trusting that they won’t lose insight or clarity. While recordings also provide a gentle layer of mutual protection and transparency, their use is always governed by clear consent, ethical discretion, and secure storage.
Over time, as our work accumulates across dozens—or even hundreds—of hours, these recordings become an invaluable tool for pattern recognition and deep soul mapping. The more material we have to reflect on, the more precise and attuned we can become in identifying the unique arc of your healing, self-actualization, and return to wholeness. This allows us to see beyond isolated sessions and into the living thread of your becoming.
All recordings—whether audio, transcript, or AI summary—are made only with your explicit, informed consent. Consent is never assumed and may be given or withdrawn at any time, on a per-session or standing basis depending on your preference.
Recordings and notes are accessible only to:
You (upon request)
Me (your guide)
My direct support team (e.g., co-facilitator or admin), only if essential for your care and with your permission
Your personal health team, only with your written permission
You may request access to or deletion of any material at any time. Nothing is ever shared, sold, or used for any purpose beyond your healing without your explicit consent.
🛠️ 2. Secure Technologies I Use
To support this sacred work with clarity and care, I use HIPAA-compliant technologies:
⚖️ A Note on HIPAA ⚖️
While I am not a licensed healthcare provider—and therefore not legally subject to HIPAA law—I choose to uphold HIPAA-compliant standards as an ethical commitment to your privacy and safety. Every tool I use has been carefully selected not only for its technical security, but for its alignment with the sacred responsibility of stewarding your healing journey with discretion and care.
🔒 Homecoming
Homecoming is our primary practice management platform. It is fully HIPAA-compliant and encrypted, used to store all records, transcripts, and signed agreements. This system allows us to safely track the arc of your journey over time while protecting your privacy. Only I, and when appropriate my care team, have access. You retain the right to access or delete any records at any point.
📡 Fathom AI Notetaker
For virtual sessions, I use Fathom—a HIPAA-compliant AI assistant that records, transcribes, and summarizes our sessions in real time. This helps identify themes, action items, and integration insights across our work together. These reflections support your long-term clarity and growth. All session content is processed privately and then securely stored in Homecoming.
🎧 Plaud Voice Recorder
For in-person ceremonies—and occasionally in-person sessions—I may use Plaud, a discreet, high-quality audio recorder, to capture the emotional tone and spoken experience of your journey. This supports deep post-ceremony integration by preserving insights that may otherwise be forgotten. Recordings are accessed only by me, transcribed into a secure format, and stored in Homecoming. The original audio is permanently deleted once transferred. Plaud uses TLS encryption, AES 256-bit storage security, and is hosted on SOC 2 Type II–certified AWS infrastructure to ensure your data remains fully protected. You may request access or deletion of your materials at any time.
🧠 3. Use of AI to Support Integration
With your consent, I may use secure, private AI tools to help synthesize the key patterns emerging across our sessions and ceremonies. These tools are never connected to public networks and are used solely to reflect your story back to you with greater clarity and coherence.
The intention behind this process is not data analysis—it’s soul reflection. These tools support me in creating personalized integration follow-ups and comprehensive ceremony plans that are unique to your journey. They allow us to track subtle shifts, amplify themes you may not have noticed, and offer refined assignments and practices that meet you right where you are.
Because I use these tools to review and reflect after each session, I can be fully present with you in real time, knowing that I’ll have the ability to circle back later to catch deeper threads and weave a more complete understanding of what’s emerging. This means your post-session integration support is not just intuitive—but also precise, grounded, and cumulative.
Over time, the reflections we build together—through written follow-ups, personalized practices, and ceremonial maps—become a living archive of your healing. The more we engage, the more accurately we can:
Understand the uniqueness of your path
Identify repeating themes, symbols, and soul tensions
Reflect the spiral of growth you’re moving through
Bridge ceremony insights into daily embodiment
These tools are used only by me, only for your process, and never for anything else. Their purpose is to enhance—not replace—our human connection and sacred responsibility to the unfolding mystery of your becoming.
On occasion, you may be invited to contribute anonymously to the Journey Home initiative—a separate and entirely optional offering. If you choose to participate, any AI synthesis will be used solely in that context and only with your consent. This is always distinct from your personal integration process.
🛡️ 4. Your Rights and Data Sovereignty
You retain full sovereignty over your story and data at every stage of our work together. Your participation, your voice, and your privacy are respected as sacred. Nothing we record, store, reflect, or synthesize will ever be shared, reused, or accessed by anyone other than me—unless you provide clear, written permission.
You always have the right to:
Decide what is recorded, if anything
Choose what is stored, and for how long
Control who has access to your transcripts, recordings, or notes
Opt in or out of AI-supported reflections or broader initiatives like Journey Home
Request access to any materials, or ask for their full deletion at any time
While you always retain the right to delete any material at any time, doing so may reduce our ability to reflect on the full arc of your healing journey. This is never a condition of our work—just a transparent acknowledgment of the tradeoff. Your wholeness does not depend on what’s stored; it depends on what’s true and alive within you.
All session notes, ceremony transcripts, and integration documents are stored securely within HIPAA-compliant systems, and are reviewed only by me, unless otherwise authorized by you. These protections apply equally to written reflections, audio files, transcripts, and AI-generated summaries.
While I may sometimes sit with you as a sacred companion during experiences you have independently chosen, I do not supply, recommend, or encourage the use of any illegal substances. My role is not to direct your choices, but to walk beside you in reverence—once your path has already been chosen. This reflects my No Medicine Included (NMI) policy and ensures our work remains rooted in mutual trust, lawful discretion, and personal sovereignty.
Importantly, your healing is never conditional. You will never be asked to sacrifice your privacy or boundaries in order to receive support. You are invited to share only what feels safe and aligned. Your agency is foundational to this process—and your right to revoke consent at any time is always honored, no questions asked.
🌱 5. Journey Home Initiative (Optional Participation)
You may be invited to anonymously contribute to the Journey Home initiative—a living archive of transformation stories that help others navigating psychedelic healing. These stories may support:
Educating future guides and therapists
Inspiring seekers to feel less alone
Informing advocacy and public policy efforts
Participation is always optional. If you choose to contribute, you can:
Decide what and how much to share
Revoke your story or request deletion at any time
Remain fully anonymous throughout the process

You are never obligated to share anything. Your story belongs to you—and only you can decide how (or if) it is shared.
🌀 Final Words
This work is not transactional—it is transformational. You are not entering a program. You are entering a living container designed to help you remember who you are.
Every tool, every transcript, every reflection exists to serve your becoming. Not to define you. Not to monitor you. But to support you in crossing thresholds of healing, self-realization, and embodied wholeness.
This is not about watching you—it’s about witnessing you.
Not about collecting your story—it’s about honoring it.
Not about data—it’s about devotion.
As a guide, I do not hold your experience lightly. I hold it sacredly. With the humility and responsibility that comes with stewarding the inner worlds of another human soul. Every system I use is selected not only for its security, but for how well it aligns with my deeper values: consent, sovereignty, transparency, and care.
This path is yours. Your healing is yours. Your voice, your timing, your truth—all yours.
I am simply here to reflect what is already whole within you, and to walk beside you as you reclaim it.
It is an honor to walk with you.
