About Me
 

 

As a life alchemy and soul guide , psychedelic facilitator, ceremonialist, Mens group facilitator, and integration support coach, my mission is to help empower individuals, and equip them with the proper tools needed to navigate their inner worlds and unlock their full potential.

 

I work with individuals to help them identify and shift limiting beliefs, patterns, and behaviors that hold them back from living their best lives. Through deep listening, intuitive guidance, and personalized coaching, I empower my clients to create meaningful change to transform their lives.

 

As a psychedelic facilitator, I hold a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore the inner landscape of their psyche through the use of plant medicines or other substances. I am trauma informed and have a depth of  understanding of harm reduction principles, both in a one on one setting and a group setting. I gently guide clients through their experiences, offering support and guidance as needed.

 

As a ceremonialist, I facilitate intentional rituals and ceremonies that honor the sacred and create a container for transformation. Drawing upon my training in shamanic practices and other spiritual traditions, I create a space for individuals to connect with their higher selves and tap into the wisdom of the universe.

 

As an integration support coach, I work with individuals to help them integrate their psychedelic experiences into their everyday lives. I offer guidance and tools to help clients process their experiences, make meaning of their insights, and integrate their newfound awareness into their daily routines.

 

As a mens group facilitator I create and hold sacred spaces that give permission to men to be their full selves in all of the ways they need to express. Men are often taught and conditioned to hold their emotions in, and stuff them away, told  to "get over it", "man up" and push through, etc.. In these spaces men are invited in to allow for all the parts of themselves to be seen, and witnessed in an a safe, brave, and empathetic space among other men couragsoluy doing the same. This type of work helps to forge the bonds of brotherhood that is sorely lacking in our modern world, particular for men in their 30's and up. Most men find it hard to make friends, they isolate, numb out, and engage in self destructive habits and that spills out onto others causing harm to people they love and others in their field. Mens group spaces are a place to learn how to be in the healthy honest masculine. 

 

Overall, my work as a life alchemy and soul guide, psychedelic facilitator, Mens group facilitator, ceremonialist, and integration support coach is centered around helping individuals connect with their true selves, unlock their full potential, and live more meaningful and fulfilling lives.

 

My style is very grounded and super specific to who I am working with. I consider myself to be a very well-rounded individual with a diverse background and a wealth of knowledge and experience. I have spent the past decade engaged in self-inquiry, discovery, and healing, in altered states and in ordinary non-altered states. 

 

I am known for my empathy and ability to connect with people on a deep level creating a sense of safety and allowing a space for vulnerable, authentic truth to be witnessed and held. I have a non-judgmental and positive attitude, and I'm an active listener who is able to fully engage with my clients. I'm resourceful and flexible, able to help my clients find the resources and support they need to achieve their goals.I draw on a variety of methods and modalities across seemingly disparate but interlinked disciplines. I can help reframe "problems" and offer helpful paths forward, shinning light on new ways to see things. I often use analogies, metaphors in order to meet each client where they're at, speaking in a language that they can understand and that makes sense to them. 

 

I have experience, training, and knowledge in a wide range of areas. My style is a fusion of ancient esoteric wisdom traditions, indigenous plant medicines practices, and modern western approaches. Some of these modalities are: Psychedelic Assisted Somatic Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, Men's Group Work  (Masculine Alchemy), Existential Philosophy, Zen and Buddhist Philosophy, Anthropology, Jungian Depth Psychology, Shadow work, Ritual, Magick, Human Design, Hermeticism, Compassionate Inquiry, Non-Violent Communication, Motivational Interviewing, Harm Reduction, Traditional Sacred Earth Medicine/Plant Medicine Use, Ceremonial Ayahuasca Use, breath work, cold exposure therapy, meditation, Qi- Gong, and  nature based and Soul centered work. These practices are just a few of the tools in my toolkit that I draw upon based on what I feel will be the most helpful to a client. Everything I offer in the interpersonal realm is connected and rooted in a grounded container that acknowledges and incorporates the interconnected nature of our constructed  environment as a key factor contributing to our overall mental, spiritual and physical health. “As above, so below, as within, so without, as the universe, so the soul…” ― Hermes Trismegistus

​

I work with clients to identify the root causes of issues that are preventing them from fully experiencing the wholeness of their lives. Although, I do not work like a traditional coach, nor am I licensed therapist, or shamanic healer, but I draw from all of these feilds.  I am goal-oriented and specifically bring attention to habit and environment change in order to clear. a path forward. I can help my clients identify specific goals and develop action plans using a variety of practices such as: Deep Life Environment Architecture Realignment,  Habit Stacking, Journaling, Parts Work, Prayer, Scripting, Visualizing, and SMART Goals to name a few. I'm skilled at creating a safe and supportive environment, and I'm able to adapt my approach to the unique needs and goals of each individual.

 

I know how to do most of these things, not just from study, but from practice. The practice started on myself. When I was 27 I had a peak LSD experience that set me on a. course of seeking. After some years of studying, and experimenting on myself (mainly with mushrooms) to help myself overcome chronic depression, I found myself at an Ayahuasca center in the Peruvian Amazon in 2016. it was there that I would have the most profound  experience of my life. When I came back, I was still in the process of spiritual emergence, and then my whole world crumbled to pieces and fell apart. I did not know what to do and I spiraled into a deep dark abyss of hopelessness, despair,  and began my dark night of the soul journey.  The message that came to me in those ayahuasca ceremonies was too difficult for me to accept. It required letting go of everything that I thought I was, my carefully constructed Identities, my habits, behaviors,  friends, everything. My mistake then, was that I fought against it and did not want to let what was not serving me anymore die and be reborn. It wasn't until January of 2018 that I went back to the Jungle and answered the call. I spent almost half the year living and working at an ayahuasca retreat center in the Peruvian Amazon. Since then I have been working in the field of psychedelics, and serving those in need as well as continuing my own healing work. I primary worked in psychedelic healing and mens group work, and would see someone one on one from time to time.  I formerly started seeing one on one coaching clients on a regular consistent basis In the fall of 2022. I have been on a journey to heal myself and through that I had been able to alchemize what I learned to offer help to others. 

 

In addition, I am also the former host of the Mikeadelic Podcast, which started in 2016 and ended in 2022. It has a 4.9 rating on Apple Podcasts and is ranked in the top 1% of all podcasts worldwide with over 470 positive reviews. I've also been featured on other podcasts and in various media platforms and publications. I've hosted live events, daylong experiences, and weekend retreats.

 

 I am dedicated to helping my clients achieve their goals and realize their full potential. I'm passionate about helping people heal and grow, and I'm skilled at creating safe, supportive, and transformative experiences for my clients. When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time in nature, camping, hiking, exploring the natural wilderness, cooking, running, reading, writing, drawing, and watching good quality movies.

 

 It fills me up to be of service. I belive that you can only take someone as far as you've gone. I have been to the depths and back. I am ready to help you on your path.
