How This Work is Held

I believe meaningful change is rarely a single moment. Moreoften, it is the slow weaving of insight into lived life—through the body,through relationship, and over time.

Long before working with psilocybin, I learned how tosupport deep processes without medicine. Through years of grief tending,ceremonial and yogic practice, and somatic and breath-centered work, I developed ways of supporting people to remain present with intensity, emotion,and truth—listening for what is arising, orienting toward what wants care, andmoving without force.

The medicine may show what is possible; the deeper work is whatis tended and woven afterward. My role is to help create the conditions whereinsight can take root, so what is revealed becomes part of how you live,relate, and choose going forward.

Who I Am & Where I Come From

Training, Lineage & Professional Grounding
My work is informed by formal training, long-termmentorship, and sustained relational practice across psychedelic facilitation,grief work, somatic traditions, and Indigenous ceremonial lineages. Theseteachings are held with attention to context, consent, and ethicalresponsibility.
Psychedelic Facilitation & Professional Mentorship
I was trained and certified through SoundMind Institute,with ongoing professional development through mentorship with Claudia Cuentas,founder of Cora Center. As part of this work, I designed the curriculum anddelivery framework for the Art of Facilitation Mentoring Program, which Claudiabrings to life through her decades of experience as a facilitator and teacher. I now support the facilitation and delivery of the program while continuing tolearn within the mentoring relationship.

I am a licensed psilocybin facilitator in the state ofOregon, working within approved service center settings and in alignment withstate regulations and professional standards.
Corporate Life as a Teacher
Alongside my spiritual and facilitation work, I bring over27 years of experience in the corporate world (Tech sector), grounded inlearning and development, program leadership, and organizational operations.Living inside complex systems—while carrying responsibility, performanceexpectations, and the realities of earning a living—became part of thetraining, shaping my understanding of how work and identity affect the nervoussystem, values, and capacity to listen inward.

This lived experience allows me to meet people withcorporate identities in a way that is both practical and humane, supportingdepth, meaning, and inner truth without asking them to step outside the worldthey are navigating.
Indigenous Ceremonial Teachings
My relationship to Indigenous ceremonial teachings has beenshaped through over 20 years of learning in long-term relationship. My primarymentorship has been with Cherokee teacher Soaring Eagle Woman and Ken “Snowtop”Smith, alongside study with Sandy D’Entremont and Leslie Fleming, with a focuson sweat lodge traditions and ceremonial responsibility.

These teachings are held with humility, reverence, and clearboundaries. I do not claim ownership over them, nor do I offer them outsidetheir appropriate relational and cultural context. I have been adopted into theBeaver clan and honor the gift of these teachings with gratitude and care.
Grief as Teacher and Threshold
My grief work is deeply informed by training with FrancisWeller, including Entering the Healing Ground and The Five Gates of Grief, and through ongoing participation in a BIPOC grief circle rooted instudy, witnessing, and practice.

As a motherless daughter and a daughterless mother, grief isnot theoretical in my life. These lived experiences have shaped my understanding of grief not as pathology, but as a natural response to love,rupture, and belonging. In this work, grief is held as a threshold—personal,ancestral, collective, and ecological—that, when tended with care and witnessedin community, can restore depth, vitality, and connection.
Yogic, Somatic & Breath-Centered Practice
I am a certified Level 1 Kundalini Yoga teacher and havecompleted four of five Level 2 trainings. While my roots are in Kundalini Yoga,I offer these teachings through accessible language grounded in breath,embodied awareness, and nervous-system attunement.

Practices are adaptive, invitational, and focused onlistening rather than performance.
