Stress, anxiety, worry, anger, or despair, commonly impact our psychological well-being. Although triggered by external events, these emotions often persist through younger parts of ourselves, that have internalized limiting beliefs or behaviours. This makes us vulnerable to life's fluxes. The key to healing is bringing self-awareness to these wounded psychic parts, witnessing their stories and helping them release the burdens they carry. The goal of this engagement is to: 

• Learn techniques to ground oneself in presence and self-awareness

• Explore the internal ecosystem and identify parts that need help and attention 

• Identify the sources of the psychological burdens that parts hold and help unburden their negative emotions, and beliefs

• Foster a balanced relationship between all psychic parts to promote a more harmonious and stable internal ecosystem

Psychedelics have immense therapeutic potential for mental health and well-being. However, for them to be truly effective, it is important to adequately prepare oneself beforehand and to consciously integrate the experience afterwards. Without this inner work, the benefits of the medicine may be elusive or fleeting. The goal of this engagement is to:

• Help clarify your intentions for taking psychedelics 

• Identify and prepare for potential challenges you may face during your psychedelic journey

• Authentically engage with psychological content that emerges to integrate it into daily life

Note: I do not provide psychedelic medicines to clients. This service is offered to anyone who plans to take them on their own, outside of sessions. 

Cannabis can help lower blood pressure, reduce anxiety and even fight cancer. However, excessive and prolonged use can lead to dependency in some. Cannabis addiction, in comparison to other substances, does not cause a clearly identifiable "rock bottom", as many users continue to outwardly function normally. Identifying cannabis dependency, therefore, comes down to the user themself. Long time users of cannabis who wish to stop, may find it difficult to do so. The goal of this engagement, therefore, is to: 

• Provide a radically compassionate and non-pathologizing space, fully embracing parts needing cannabis

• Engage in an internal inquiry, and identify triggers that lead to use

• Develop somatic awareness of the various stages of craving and use

• Recalibrate one's relationship with the plant, redefine acceptable boundaries of use and reimagine it's place in one's life
