Although Peer Support Specialists cannot prescribe medication like a psychiatrist, research shows that certified peer support specialists are sometimes even more helpful than traditional therapists.

 

Eddie and I work with individuals using Peer Cognitive Behavioral Coaching which teaches how to embrace uncomfortable emotions by becoming somatically aware and reframing negative thoughts about those emotions into more supportive, productive ones. Being okay with being uncomfortable is a necessary skill if we are to remain mentally, physically and spiritually balanced. It is especially important because breathwork and the therapeutic use of psilocybin heightens emotions. We humans are designed to be highly sensitive. Our emotions are healthy, natural, and worthy of our attention and appreciation. Bringing equal curiosity to both the uncomfortable emotions and the pleasant ones is a skill we can practice and gradually integrate into daily life, which leads to greater wholeness.

 

Bottom up therapy (includes the body)

We help individuals access and refine their internal skills by becoming adept at somatic awareness and emotional management. We do this by helping you access your innate capacities through specific trauma-informed breathing practices, therapeutic movements and somatic mindfulness.

 

Many of our clients have reported how much they appreciate having both a male and female dynamic available to hold space for whatever may come up during a breathwork or psilocybin experience. Most psychedelic guides work alone but we offer a male/female duo that stays with you the whole time, in each preparation session throughout your journey and several integration sessions. This secure model provides both strong and soft emotional energy allowing each client to feel nurtured while diving deeply into the expanded psychedelic mind-state. 

 

 

Eddie is certified as a Spiritual Emergence Coach and Margaret is a Mental Health Provider trained to guide individuals who feel they may have experienced a spiritually transformative event or series of events such as kundalini energy awakening, out-of-body, near death or shared death experiences. These are times of accelerated change and we can offer

• Support to find realizations that inspire growth and further exploration
• Methods to blend spiritual insights into the life you are living

 

An integration circle is a sacred and safe space to share or just listen and learn about the experiences of others.  It is a place where anonymity is protected and perspectives are honored. 

 

Whether you are just thinking of exploring an experience or have an experience to share, a community is here to support you on your journey. 

 

 

 

Margaret has been a birth doula for 14 years and that may be the perfect set of skills to hold space for an individual who is giving birth to themselves, in a way. Many people describe feeling as if they emerge new, like an infant seeing the world for the first time. If you are ready to dive deep in search of gems within, trust the wisdom of the psyche that knows exactly what to reveal and when, and are wiling to let the process change you, talk to us.

 

As an added advantage, this type of psychedelic harm-reduction, space-holding accompanied by a male and female support team is estimated to be far less expensive (and possibly more effective) than traditional mental health services. Our program includes several preparation sessions along with a day-long  session followed by the most important aspect of the whole experience, several integration sessions. The total cost of such a program is likely considerably less than a daily antidepressant and regular talk therapy with a traditional therapist.

 

We give you a hand to support your spiritual transformation.
