About Me
State-licensed psilocybin facilitator & retreat host helping high achievers slow down, heal deeply, and reconnect with purpose.
I am committed to helping others connect with their own self-healing capabilities, creating deeper connection to self and source. Prior to training as a Psilocybin Facilitator, I enjoyed a successful, international corporate career working primarily in Human Resources and Information Technology, supporting global change programs. I soon realized how difficult change is for most people and enjoyed supporting others through their own life transitions, big and small.
My own experiences with psilocybin created a paradigm shift in how I saw myself, how I saw the world and how I related with others, resulting in positive changes to my life overall. I felt called to pivot and make one of the biggest changes in my career, becoming a licensed psilocybin facilitator and retreat operator through Tree of Life Facilitation Services and Purple City Retreats. I am excited and humbled to serve others as they embark on their own healing journeys toward improved mental health, wellness, and relationships.
My Approach
My facilitation style is client-centered and client-led. I believe that the answers we often seek in life are already within us. I believe strongly in the power of prayer, stillness, and meeting yourself where you are with kindness, grace, and patience. Our mental health is a journey, not a destination. My hope for each client I work with is that they are able to find the tools they need to manage their own mental health long after the medicine has worn off and our work together is complete. My role is to make sure each client I work with feels safe, held, & comfortable enough that they can go deep within themselves in order to do this very vulnerable and important work.
Who I Work With
I primarily support adults navigating life transitions, individuals recovering from depression, anxiety, or burnout, and those seeking spiritual clarity. I welcome clients of all backgrounds and am especially attuned to working with veterans, first-time psychedelic users, and those seeking faith expansion.
What to Expect
Through Purple City Retreats, I offer 3 night retreat packages which include overnight accommodation in a luxury yurt, private access to on-site spa amenities, two preparation sessions, roundtrip journey day transportation, the medicine session, and integration. Sessions are designed to be personalized, with plenty of space for your intentions, questions, and reflection. I typically work with individuals, couples, and small groups, depending on your preferences and needs.
