ABOUT ME

Hello All!

I am so happy you’re healing journey has brought you here!

My journey in the world of medicine started in 2011 with a decade of practicing as a Clinical Pharmacist in the VA Medical System. Serving the veteran population of our country was an honor, and I had an invaluable clinical and administrative experience in my time there. BUT…(there’s always a BUT)…too often our illnesses and discomforts are not fully addressed by Western-based, allopathic modalities, and patients are left feeling broken, frustrated, and like they are going crazy! Our healthcare system has not yet embraced the holistic approach of the mind-body connection or looking at disease from the perspective of the whole human who is suffering supported by advancing sciences such as psychoneuroimmunology.

My journey with psychedelic medicines started 15 years ago and has played a large role in shaping my view of myself, my body, and the world. Over the years, I have developed a personal and clinical relationship with psilocybin, LSD, MDMA, ketamine, San Pedro, and ayahuasca. These substances have helped me to realize myself and heal from depression and anxiety. They are amazing tools for bringing programs that run in the subconscious mind to the surface and providing the neuroplasticity to rewire how we think as well as how our mind and body respond to external stimuli. Since leaving the Western medicine system, I have expanded my practice by becoming a Reiki practitioner, certified cannabis pharmacist, and Shamanic apprentice training in the ceremonial use of ayahuasca, tobacco, and cacao. Dedicating myself to incorporating energy healing and plant medicines into the practice of medicine will continue to be my life’s work.

My passion, philosophy, and practice is to bring the humanity back to healthcare and bring holistic healing into the picture. The body and mind have extensive healing capacity if we take the time to listen to them and what they need. You are your own medicine, and health and healing should consider each individual as a whole being - mind, body, and spirit. My own healing journey from depression, anxiety, and insomnia has taught me that. Allopathic medicine modalities have an important role to play, but they are not the whole of healing. The world is full of healing modalities that are safe, efficacious, and fulfilling tools. I am so excited to make those modalities accessible and help incorporate them into your healing journey!
