Plant Medicine-Assisted Psychotherapy
Plant medicine has been around for thousands of years! In fact, Mother Earth gives us everything we need to heal our bodies, minds, and Spirits. For many years now, psychedelics (Bufo, Ayahuasca, Psilocybin, Ibogaine, LSD, MDMA, Ketamine, etc.), and other plant/animal medicines (kambo, rape´, chinese herbs, cannabis, etc.) are being used in combination with psychotherapy to help individuals heal on every level - physically, emotionally, spiritually. Currently, many of these sacred medicines are legal in only a few states which forces people to use them alone without guidance, without safety, without adequate knowledge, and without a sacred protective space. Hopefully, one day soon, the world will awaken and listen to the numerous research studies that have been and are currently being conducted and de-criminalize these sacred life-saving medicines. In order to maintain my license and abide by the law, I do not administer/sell/distribute any medicine (plant medicine or big pharma). I do, however, specialize in helping you prepare psychologically and spiritually for your own plant-medicine ceremony/journey, that you would experience preferably with a Shaman or other plant-medicine practitioner. I will help you explore the various medicines, guide you as the medicine chooses you, explore the pros/cons, share research articles, and connect you with other online resources. After your ceremony is completed, integration of your experience is absolutely essential, and I will continue to be your guide throughout the entire integration process. |
