On Choosing A Psychedelic Facilitator

I remember once, years ago, I attended a San Pedro ceremony facilitated by two women who were very experienced medicine guides. During the ceremony, I experienced something that reminded me of my childhood, and was suddenly brought back to a time and place in my life that was very disorienting, lonely, and scary. All I…

The Energy Behind Feeling Stuck

Do you ever have a feeling of being stuck? Like maybe something in your life just isn’t evolving – maybe it’s your marriage, or your career, or your friendships – or something else.  Everything is meant to evolve. That’s the nature of energy; it wants to move, to flow, to change. In the ancient wisdom…

Just Be With It

Once upon a time, I found myself in a pretty dark place. As I spiraled into my own darkness, I tried to get a handle on it. I used all my tools. Some worked for a few minutes, and some didn’t work at all. Then, brilliantly, one of my teachers said to me: “just be…

The Cancer of Yang: Reclaiming the Feminine

On Fight, Flight, Freeze and Possibility

Have you ever been outside and scared some poor, unsuspecting animal with your movements? Sometimes the animal will run away in terror, and sometimes it will do something else—sometimes it will go into what’s called a freeze response. When an animal freezes, it becomes incredibly still.

Trauma and Psychedelic Healing

About 12 years ago now, I trained as a psychic. (Yes! You can train as a psychic). After my training completed, I opened up a private practice offering people psychic readings.

Remembering

On the home page of my website it says, in huge letters: This Is An Exceptional Time To Be Alive. Kind of an audacious thing to say, I know. I want to acknowledge that this is also an extremely challenging, sad and scary time to be alive, too.  Then why on earth would I put…

Virgo Shadow Work

If you’re familiar with astrology, then you know what I mean when I say that I have a lot of virgo in my chart. If you aren’t familiar with astrology, then I’ll just tell you that virgo is one of the 12 signs of the zodiac. It speaks to a kind of energy that likes…

Space

When I moved into my new office (almost 8 months ago at the time of this writing), I noticed that my sessions seemed to improve. They went deeper somehow. At first I just thought it was a coincidence. I thought that perhaps my skills as a healer had improved around the time of the move.…
