What will working with you entail for me?

Reasons for working with me include:

• Preparation for the use of entheogenic medicines via education and safety and efficacy assessment of medications and diagnoses as well as creation of medication management plan for any interacting medications. Co-create a holistic healthcare plan for you that revolves around your goals and values in life

• Gaining clarity and ownership on pieces of your healthcare plan that you are feeling uncertain about now via education on medications, diagnoses, and alternative options for treatment approaches that you may incorporate or discuss with your provider(s)

• Addressing anxiety, pain, mood, sleep, or overall wellness via reframing of medications lists, discussing deprescribing plans, incorporation of alternative therapies, and potential use of plant based medications.

It will be up to you to act on any recommendations provided. By taking initiative and ownership of your healing, you get to create a path that is fulfilling and effective for you. I am here to help you step onto that path.

What are psychedelics?

By definition, a psychedelic is “psychoactive substances that produce changes in perception, mood and cognitive processes.” These substances typically include psilocybin, LSD, MDMA, mescaline, DMT, ayahuasca, ibogaine, and ketamine.

Are all psychedelics still illegal in the US?

All psychedelics listed above are still categorized as class 1 substances, meaning there is no legal use for them, under federal law. That said, several cities around the country as well as the states of Oregon and Colorado have decriminalized some or all of these substances. Many are also legal and widely accessible in other countries. Understanding your local laws is important. There are also protections for the religious use of psychedelics as sacrament under the Religious Freedoms Act. Nothing on this website or in my practice recommends or condones illegal activity.

How much do you charge?

My typical prices are $77 for a medication risk assessment and $222/hr session for coaching and consultation. If a coaching series is purchased up front, then the package can be purchased at a discounted rate. I view money as energy exchange and not a barrier to care, so all rates are flexible by donation.
