04 — Psychedelic Healing Work
Psychedelic Healing
Psychedelic experiences can be profound, beautiful, confusing, challenging, scary, or all of the above. Yet the experience itself is only the smallest part of the journey. The real work happens before and after diving into our mind: in the preparation that helps us enter the experience safely and intentionally, and in the integration that helps us translate insight into lasting change in our real lives.
My Approach
My approach is informed by the PsyGaia Framework, an ecological understanding of psychedelic experience developed through interdisciplinary research in systems theory, enactive cognition, and biosemiotics. Rather than viewing healing as something that happens solely within an isolated individual, the PsyGaia perspective understands wellbeing as emerging through relationship, connection, and participation in life.
Preparation
In preparation sessions, we explore intentions, expectations, fears, and the wider context of your journey. Together, we create conditions that support safety, openness, and meaningful engagement with whatever may arise. Good preparation is not about controlling the experience; it is about developing the skills and support structures that allow you to meet the experience with trust.
Integration
Integration support is grounded in the understanding that psychedelic experiences are not ends in themselves. They are tools that may open new perspectives, but their value ultimately depends on how they become woven into the fabric of everyday life. I support people in making sense of their experiences across multiple dimensions of life — including cognition, emotions, the body, relationships, values, behaviour, creativity, and connection to the wider world, a framework developed by Synthesis teacher Daan Keiman. Particular attention is given to experiences that feel confusing, overwhelming, or difficult to understand, approaching them with compassion rather than pathologization.
My aim is not to provide answers or interpretations, but to help create the conditions in which your own understanding can emerge. The measure of success is not the intensity or the pleasantness of the experience, but the degree to which its insights become embodied in daily life — expressed through greater coherence between your values and actions, deeper relationships, a stronger sense of inner peace and resilience, and an unshakable sense of belonging to this Earth.
Practicalities
We can meet at any point of your journey, and for as often as you need to. For a full cycle of psychedelic healing work together, I suggest at least three preparation and three integration sessions.
Pricing — A Note on Dana
All of my offerings are priced on the basis of dana — a principle rooted in ancient wisdom traditions that is, at its heart, beautifully simple: you give what you can, from the heart, in proportion to what the work has meant to you and what your life genuinely allows.
Dana is not a sliding scale with hidden minimums, and it is not a polite way of asking you to name a number under pressure. It is a genuine invitation to participate in a different kind of exchange — one based on trust, reciprocity, and the recognition that meaningful work should be accessible to everyone.
It works in both directions. If you have resources and can give generously, your contribution makes it possible for someone else to participate who could not otherwise do so. If you are going through a difficult season financially, you are genuinely welcome to give less — or nothing at all. Neither is more or less valued.
I offer my work this way because I believe that what we are trying to do together — find better ways of living, thinking, and relating in a time of profound change — is too important to be gated by money. And because I have found, in my own life, that moving away from purely transactional exchange and toward genuine reciprocity is itself part of the shift we are trying to make.
If you are unsure what to give, let yourself be guided by two simple questions: What can I honestly afford? And: What does this feel worth to me? Both answers matter equally.
