Psychedelic experiences can open doors to parts of yourself, your history, and your imagination that may be difficult to access in everyday life. They can bring profound insight, healing, connection, and possibility. They can also be disorienting, challenging, and difficult to make sense of.
You deserve care that honors the depth of this work.
As your psychedelic doula, I walk alongside you through the experience, from the earliest conversations and preparation through the journey itself and into the ongoing process of integration. Together, we tend the conditions for you to enter this work with intention, feel held and supported as you journey, and find ways to bring what emerges into your life.
This isn't simply support for a ceremony. It's a relationship of care that holds the whole experience, honoring both the mystery of the journey and the very human process of becoming.
Psychedelic journeywork can be deeply personal. Your history, identity, relationships, body, and life circumstances all shape how you approach the experience and what may emerge.
My approach is grounded in queer-centered, consent-based care and a deep respect for your bodily and spiritual sovereignty. You are the authority on your own experience. Your beliefs, boundaries, needs, and relationship with the sacred belong to you.
Care through the journey
Preparation
Your journey begins long before we meet for ceremony. Preparation coaching gives you space to get grounded, explore your intentions, and begin building a relationship with the experience you're preparing to have.
Together, we'll explore what's bringing you to this work, what you're hoping for, and what feels important to work with before your journey. We'll talk through expectations, concerns, potential challenges, and practical considerations, including harm reduction and the setting in which you'll journey.
We'll also get to know one another and build the trust that allows you to feel supported during the experience itself.
Journey support
On the day of your journey, I'm there with you, holding the ceremonial container and attending to your needs throughout the experience.
This may mean offering grounding and reassurance, helping you feel physically comfortable, responding to what you need in the moment, or simply being a steady, caring presence. I bring a thoughtful, intuitive approach to the space while honoring your autonomy and the unfolding of your experience.
Integration
The journey doesn't end when the ceremony does. What emerges may continue to unfold over days, weeks, and months.
Integration offers space to revisit your experience, explore what feels meaningful, and begin finding ways to bring new understanding into your everyday life. This might include working with emotions, memories, insights, questions, or changes in how you relate to yourself and others.
Rather than rushing to make meaning or turn every insight into an action item, we'll pay attention to what is asking for care, what is becoming clearer, and what might be ready to take shape in your life.
Psychedelic Doula Care may be a good fit if you're:
- Preparing for a meaningful psychedelic experience and wanting dedicated support throughout the process.
- Looking for a queer practitioner who understands the importance of identity, belonging, and the ways systems and relationships shape our lives.
- Interested in a relational, consent-centered approach that honors your autonomy and individual experience.
- Seeking support that makes room for complexity, including difficult emotions, uncertainty, and unexpected experiences.
- Wanting continuity of care before, during, and after your journey.
I believe you are the expert on your own experience. My role isn't to direct your journey or determine what it should mean. It's to bring presence, care, discernment, and thoughtful support to the space around it.
My work draws on somatic practice, emotional intelligence, intuitive listening, and years of experience accompanying people through meaningful personal and professional transitions. I bring particular care to working with queer and trans people, and to the complexity of lives shaped by trauma, identity, and the expectations of the world around us.
I also take seriously the responsibility involved in psychedelic work. Preparation, screening, harm reduction, consent, and appropriate medical support are important parts of responsible care. Psychedelic doula care is not psychotherapy or medical treatment, and I work within the scope of my training and role.
Psychedelic Doula Care is offered in person in the Seattle area.
I offer this work on a sliding scale. Because each person's needs and circumstances are different, I'd rather talk with you about the structure of care and investment during an initial consultation than publish a fixed price here.
If you're looking for remote support with psychedelic preparation or integration, you can explore Psychedelic Preparation & Integration Coaching.
This care begins with a conversation. It's an opportunity to share what's bringing you to this work, ask questions, and get a sense of whether working together feels right.
If we're a good fit, we'll talk through your needs, the nature of the experience you're considering, and what preparation and support might look like.
