north star

grounded consent, deep listening, and trust in the body’s intelligence. i don’t “fix” you or steer your experience. i help you feel safer, more resourced, and less alone — before, during (when appropriate), and after.

🕯️ presence over performance 🫧 gentleness over force 🧭 orientation over interpretation 🌿 integration over hot takes
my core approach: create a safe space • sitting, not guiding • talking through, not down • difficult ≠ bad.
when i may recommend other support: active mania/psychosis symptoms, recent psychotic episode, severe instability, unsafe environment, or medical risk factors needing clinical oversight.


how we integrate

integration is the slow process of letting the body/heart/mind reorganize after impact. it’s rarely “one conversation.” it’s a gentle series of returns.

slow down pace

  • nature time, hot water, quiet mornings
  • pause meditation if it amplifies too much
  • “wait and see” before major life changes

inside → out express

  • journaling prompts + freewrite (no editing)
  • expressive art (process > product)
  • movement: yoga, shaking, freeform dance
  • symbol work: altar, tarot, dream notes

nourish + protect attention nervous system

  • sleep / hydration / simple meals
  • reduce doomscrolling / news / horror
  • choose grounding inputs (music, light, company)

community + care support

  • trusted friends who can listen well
  • therapy referrals when needed (values-aligned)
  • ongoing support plan (who, when, what helps)
tiny mantra: move slowly • tell the truth • feed the body • protect the nervous system • make meaning in layers

boundaries + safety

emergency line now

i am not emergency services. if there’s danger to self/others or a medical emergency, call local emergency help. if there is any doubt about physical safety, prioritize medical attention.

how we keep a safer container agreements

  • we agree on a plan beforehand (setting, contacts, boundaries, “if things go sideways”).
  • consent first: no touch without explicit permission.
  • i reserve the right to pause/stop support if agreements aren’t being followed.
  • no coercion, no power games, no “guru” dynamics.

support phrases i actually use grounding

  • “you’re safe right now. i’m here.”
  • “we can go slowly.”
  • “let’s find one small anchor.”
  • “do you want words, or quiet?”
  • “no big decisions tonight.”

pricing ✦ sliding scale

access matters. if money is tight, we can find a rate that’s honest and sustainable.

  • prep session (60–90 min): $___ – $___ sliding scale
  • integration (60 min): $___ – $___ sliding scale
  • aftercare check-in (15–30 min): $___ – $___
  • journey support: case-by-case (length, remote vs. in-person, intensity, safety needs)
send your ranges + any exchange options (trade, bundles, community seats) and i’ll format this section super clean.

faq

is this therapy?

no. this is peer support + harm reduction + integration-informed space holding. i can help you reflect, regulate, and build a plan, but i’m not acting as a therapist here.

what kinds of experiences do you support?

preparation + integration for a wide range of altered-state work and deep emotional processing. journey support depends on fit, timing, and safety.

do you do in-person support?

sometimes for seattle-area folks and only when it’s a good fit with clear agreements. remote support is more available and can still be deeply grounding.

can i book you for a retreat or group container?

potentially—especially for harm reduction support, grounding space, and integration circles. send dates, location, approximate size, and what you’re building.

what’s your stance on psychedelic capitalism + community care?

pro-access, pro-community, anti-extraction. i like slow, relational models (sliding scale, shared resources, skill shares) rather than boutique “wellness luxury.”


contact

to work together, you’ll need a library card (anyone can get one). then send a short note with what you’re looking for, your timeline, and whether you prefer remote or in-person.

optional: add your email, signal handle, or a tiny form embed here. (keep it low-friction.)
