The body has an innate ability to heal itself – we just need to enter a state of being that allows the body to do what it was designed to do.

Expanded States of Consciousness (ESC) are altered states of awareness that allow us to deepen our connection to ourselves, others, nature, and Spirit. Through practices like meditation, breathwork, psychedelics, and rituals, we can access a level of consciousness that provides profound insights, emotional healing, and a deeper understanding of our existence. Research from Indigenous science, neuroscience, and psychology show how these practices can have profound healing benefits and foster connection.

There are several reasons why people utilize ESC practices including (but not limited to):

• seeking a deeper connection to self and others

• navigating life transitions

• preparing for the end-of-life

• dealing with serious illness

• making meaning of life

• connecting to ancestors 

• improving mental health and wellbeing

• or simply curiosity

While ESC practices can offer profound insights and healing, they require careful guidance and a commitment to safety. These practices should be approached with intention, respect, and the support of experienced facilitators and trained professionals to ensure a safe and effective experience. These practices are not a "magic bullet" —they are tools for deeper self-exploration, healing, growth. It is essential to engage in these practices within a structured, supportive environment, particularly for individuals with mental health conditions or trauma history, as these experiences can trigger intense emotions. 

It is also important to approach these practices ethically and with respect for the Indigenous traditions which have long used plant medicines and meditative practices for healing. I blend Indigenous Science with Evidence-based science to offer a holistic, hard reduction approach.

The 3 Phases:

Preparation: Preparing you for ESC experience to ensure the set & setting are designed to support your healing and wellbeing. Psychological and physical safety are key. 

Facilitation: Facilitating the actual ESC experience with you.

Integration: Supporting you to integrate ESC experiences into your life. This is a critical step of the work that invites reflection and meaning-making from the experience. With training in multiple integration techniques, we will work together to support continued healing from your ESC experiences.

1. Meditation

2. Drum Journeying

3. Deepening Ancestral connection & healing

I support people with Preparation & Integration of the following experiences:

1. Breathwork Techniques (ie, Holotropic Breathwork and Wim Hof)
