Psychedelic Support and Services

The use of psychedelics is a fast-emerging field within mental health, and education is an important part of helping to reduce stigma and enabling access to various natural and synthetic psychedelics.

I am able to offer psychedelic integration, safety advice, psychedelic support, education, and harm reduction. I am a certified Psychedelic Assisted Therapy Practitioner and have extensive experience with supporting people through and after powerful journeys. I have been involved in the field of psychedelics since 2014 and am well equipped to providing psychedelic support services, within full legal limitations at all times. Set and setting, safety, preparation and integration are vital aspects of ensuring that your journey is both therapeutic and beneficial.

What are Psychedelics?

The term itself comes from the Latin origin of psyche (mind/soul) and delos (make visible/manifest). Psilocybin (magic mushrooms), LSD, Mescaline and DMT are considered classic psychedelics. The term psychedelics is often used to describe empathogens such as MDMA, and dissociative anesthetics such as ketamine. Each substance can result in a unique and powerful experience for the individual, and there are many variables to ensuring that a psychedelic journey, or trip, is therapeutic and beneficial.

I am a little worried about having a ‘bad trip’

Whilst most people have heard of ‘bad trips’, it can be helpful to view this as a challenging experience. All that may arise during a psychedelic experience has purpose and meaning. With my support and guidance, it can be helpful to let go and face difficult experiences in a safe environment. By allowing yourself to move through challenging experiences, this can bring the dark to light and be a profoundly healing experience. psychological support is an essential part of a therapeutic psychedelic experience, and I will hold space for you and support you through the rough and the smooth.

History, Reverence and Remembering the Sacred Nature

Psychedelics are becoming more mainstream as stigma is breaking down and people are becoming more educated on the benefits of their use for mental health and wellbeing. This progressive approach is enabling more access and less restrictions, in some cities and states.

However, it may also be said that psychedelics are becoming over-medicalized and that their sacred nature and historic origins is being somewhat bypassed in the mix of the medical models.

I am passionate about paying reverence to the sacred nature of natural psychedelics such as psilocybin. I acknowledge psychedelics to be sacred healing tools, with deep spiritual, historic roots in a number of cultures, religions and traditions around the world. I use psychedelics with a sense of gratitude and reverence for their sacred nature.

Psychedelic use for healing is not a new or modern concept, and that we in the Western World are simply catching up to cultures that have used many of these sacred tools in ceremonial settings for thousands of years. It is a great honour that I am able to bring these powerful healing tools into my wellness practice.

‘The primary importance of psychedelic drugs, as far as I’m concerned, is that they give you access to a mode of consciousness that’s completely different from the mode of consciousness we operate in every day of our lives.’

– Aldous Huxley
