My passion is working with people; to help them realize their unique potential and empower them to take action that profoundly contributes to their lives and the lives of others. Currently, I serve as the co-founder and director of The Sentinel Retreat & Wellness Centre in the West Kootenays of British Columbia, Canada, which offers cutting-edge, transformative practices to realize the full potential of humanity.
I have gained extensive experience over the last 20 years in ceremonial circles and treatment settings. I bring a depth of knowledge, innate intuition and wisdom into my work as an integration coach, where I help people interpret peak and cathartic experiences to bring clarity and integrate what they learned. I appreciate plant medicines and psychedelics' vital role in releasing trauma.
By combining my coaching skills and training together with life experience, I provide a safe container, whether working with people individually or in groups. I feel most gratified to witness the transformational shifts people can manifest from their psychedelic experiences.
I have over two decades of experience in the field of harm reduction and drug policy reform. I have had the pleasure of working with a wide and diverse network of colleagues and associates who value my knowledge and wisdom. I am the co-founder of the Psychedelic Association of Canada, a national organization that educates and advocates for access to all psychedelics as a basic human right.
I have had the wonderful opportunity to represent the psychedelics community as a featured guest on the first Goop Lab Netflix series on psychedelics and also as part of the Psychedelic Association internationally with a group that will make a declaration to the U.N. and release a multi-faceted campaign to call for universal access to psilocybin.
Navigating your thoughts, feelings, and emotions can be confusing when engaging in the psycho-active process. Know that your journey has started once you have committed to taking this route.
I have witnessed many people manifest their transformative experiences, and while each journey is a unique process for the individual, there are commonalities. Together we explore what arises, set a powerful intention for your preparation and put safe processes in place so you can integrate your gifts into reality.
The integral components for transformation are powerful preparation and integration, which supports your desired intention to manifest into the world. I combine the ceremonial and clinical world to formulate cutting-edge outcomes for your well-being.
