ABOUT ME
Hello All! I am so happy your healing journey has brought you here!
A little bit about me…
My Journey
My journey in the world of medicine started in 2011 as a Clinical Pharmacist in the VA Medical System. At the time, I was a wife and home owner in the mountain town of Park City, UT. I was a highly functioning professional, and for a while, I was happy. After 10 years of working in the healthcare system and living a life where I was one person at work and another at home, all the while dreaming of something different, I found myself suffering from depression, anxiety, and healthcare worker burnout. Where had I gone wrong? What was my purpose? Why was I so miserable?
The truth is I had not gone wrong at all. My life went through some very challenging changes when I got to that point. I got divorced, quit my job, and moved out of my home. I spent years on myself - Spending time with myself, learning new skills, questioning my beliefs, expanding my consciousness, and creating a life that aligns with how I want to show up in this world. Every moment of it has been for a purpose - to bring me here. We all go through metamorphosis. We all have to face our upbringings, our shadows, and our traumas at some point, and in doing so, we learn the skills we need to fulfill our purpose in this life.
My Training and Perspective
My journey with psychedelic medicines started 15 years ago and has played a large role in shaping my view of myself, my body, and the world. Over the years, I have developed a personal and clinical relationship with psilocybin, LSD, MDMA, ketamine, San Pedro, 5MeO-DMT, and ayahuasca. These substances have helped me to realize myself and heal from depression, anxiety, and burnout. They are amazing tools for bringing subconscious limiting beliefs to the surface and providing the neuroplasticity to rewire how we think as well as how our nervous systems respond to external stimuli.
Since leaving the Western medicine system, I have expanded my practice by becoming a somatic breathwork practitioner, Reiki practitioner, certified cannabis pharmacist, and Shamanic apprenticeship in the ceremonial use of ayahuasca, tobacco, and cacao. Dedicating myself to incorporating energy healing, somatic work, and plant medicines into the practice of medicine will continue to be my life’s work.
My philosophy is that we are all our own best healers, and my passion and practice is to create a container in which you can realize your self-sovereignty too! The body and mind have extensive healing capacity if we take the time to listen to them and what they need. You are your own medicine, and health and healing should consider each individual as a whole being - mind, body, and spirit. My own healing journey from depression, anxiety, and burnout has taught me that. Allopathic medicine modalities have an important role to play, but they are not the whole of healing. The world is full of healing modalities that are safe, efficacious, and fulfilling tools. I am so excited to make those modalities accessible and help incorporate them into your healing journey!
