Sacred Medicine Support Specialist

Plant Medicine Guide & Integration Specialist

Plant medicine is not a tool—it is a living ally, a lineage, a sacred conversation. For nearly a decade, I have dedicated myself to walking the path of right relation with these medicines, undergoing extended dietas and ceremonies that required respect, discipline, and surrender.

I offer grounded, heartfelt support to those navigating plant medicine journeys and master plant dietas. I help you prepare, hold space during ceremony, and weave the often subtle teachings from other worlds into your daily life with care and intention.

My work is informed by a deep understanding of the spiritual, energetic, and ancestral dimensions of plant medicine, combined with a commitment to practical healing and integration.

What I Offer

Ceremony Preparation Coaching

Preparation is everything. I help you understand what you’re stepping into, set clear intentions, and create the mental, emotional, and spiritual space needed to receive the medicine’s teachings.

Integration Support

The real work begins after ceremony. I offer compassionate guidance to help you make sense of your experiences, translate visions into actionable change, and maintain your connection to the medicine’s teachings in daily life.

My Approach

While the terms “psychedelics” and “plant medicine” are sometimes used interchangeably, I draw a profound distinction between the two that shapes how I engage with these medicines and how I support others.

Psychedelics often refer to substances—synthetic or natural—that induce altered states of consciousness characterized by expanded perception, visionary experiences, and shifts in cognition. The focus can be on the mind’s exploration, sometimes with a clinical or recreational frame.

Plant medicine, by contrast, is a living, relational practice. It involves deep, ancestral intelligence embedded in the plants themselves, carrying not only psychoactive properties but a spirit, a consciousness, and a sacred lineage. Engaging with plant medicine is not simply about the experience of altered perception; it is a spiritual commitment to ceremony, reciprocity, and healing. The medicine is a teacher, healer, and ally in an ongoing dialogue—not a tool for mere expansion or escape—in our deep ceremony of listening.

Plant medicine traditions emphasize integration, community, ritual, and a holistic approach to healing that encompasses body, mind, spirit, and environment. The medicine works through subtle energetic and spiritual pathways, working with not just the brain but the whole being and all our relations.

In this light, my work is rooted in the living wisdom of plant medicine, honoring its sacred context and transformative power beyond the pharmacological effects typically associated with psychedelics. It is a path of respect, relationship, and indigenous sovereignty.
