What to expect on your first journey.
Plant medicine work is intimate and, for most people, unfamiliar. Here is exactly how a journey with me unfolds — so the only thing you have to bring is yourself.
Almost everyone arrives a little nervous. That's not a problem to fix — it's a sign you understand this matters. My work is to make the unfamiliar feel safe enough that something real can happen.
Three steps, never rushed.
A journey is four sessions in all — two to prepare, the day itself, and one to integrate. A small arc with a beginning, a middle, and, just as importantly, an after.
A gentle rhythm, start to finish.
We start slow. Tea, a few quiet minutes, and a chance to feel the space before anything begins. We revisit your intention together and I answer any last questions. There is no rush to begin.
Once you're ready, you take the medicine and settle in — usually lying down, with an eye covering and a curated soundscape. Most of the journey is internal and quiet. I'm beside you the whole time, attentive but unobtrusive, there the moment you need me.
Whatever arises — beauty, grief, memory, stillness — you don't have to manage it alone. If something hard comes up, we move toward it gently, together. My role is to keep you safe enough to let the experience be what it needs to be.
As the medicine fades, we ease back into the room — warmth, quiet, something to eat. We'll talk a little if you want to, or simply rest. You won't drive yourself home; we'll have arranged a ride or an overnight in advance.
A full journey day typically runs six to eight hours. We hold the whole day — there is never a clock pushing us along.

Safety is the first thing, not the last.
Every journey begins with a thorough screening — your health history, medications, and readiness all matter. If plant medicine isn't right or isn't right yet, I'll tell you directly and help you think through other paths. This work is offered under the Colorado Natural Medicine Health Act.
