10 years ago today, I experienced M**A for the first time.
Not at a party. Not recreationally. But held in a somatic trauma container by a colleague.
I wasn’t looking for this work; it found me. A freshly minted therapist studying somatic approaches, I’d never even encountered M**A outside of hearing about it as “that party drug.”
That single session changed the course of my career.
What began as curiosity became dedication. Within a year, I was sitting in ceremony with colleagues, keeping careful notes, learning protocols, discovering what worked. 700 sessions later, across various medicines and modalities, here we are.
This decade has taught me that psychedelic therapy isn’t about the medicine itself but about reading what each unique psyche needs. About knowing when someone needs structural support versus dissolution. About recognizing the thousand small moments where healing becomes possible.
To my teachers, my clients who’ve trusted me with their deepest work, my colleagues who’ve held space alongside me: profound gratitude.
To this medicine path that has become my life’s work: I bow.
Here’s to continuing to learn what it means to companion others through these profound territories of healing and transformation. 🙏
