Helping You Ground Your Journey and Embody Your Insights

Preparation and Integration Support

Psychedelic experiences can offer profound insights. The work of integrating those insights into daily life often requires ongoing support. Whether you are preparing for an upcoming journey or processing an experience you have already had, having a grounded therapeutic container can make a significant difference.

Preparation work helps create nervous system stability before your experience so your system has greater capacity to process what arises. Integration work helps you make sense of what emerged and translate insights into sustainable changes in your daily life.

For some clients, psychedelic work becomes a planned part of ongoing trauma therapy. We prepare your nervous system, you engage in a medicine journey outside of our sessions, and the integration work continues within our regular therapy. The insights and shifts from your journey become material we work with somatically over time.

For others, this is standalone support. You may be working with another therapist or engaging in psychedelic work independently and seeking preparation or integration support specifically.

Both approaches are welcome here.

Do Any Of These Sound Familiar?

  • You are interested in working with plant medicine but want to build a stronger foundation in your nervous system before you begin.

  • You have had a psychedelic experience that felt significant, but you are struggling to articulate what happened or understand how to work with what emerged.

  • Insights or realizations came through during a journey, but translating them into sustainable action in your daily life has been challenging.

  • You are highly sensitive or neurodivergent and want preparation or integration support that is designed with your nervous system in mind.

If any of this resonates with you, I am here to provide support. This work is about honoring your pace and building the capacity your system needs to hold these experiences safely.

What Becomes Possible

With preparation and integration work, you may notice:

  • Greater capacity to stay grounded during your experience and settle more readily afterward

  • More clarity about what you are bringing to the journey and what you hope to explore

  • Ability to make sense of expanded states without feeling overwhelmed or lost

  • Support in translating insights into concrete changes in your relationships, work, and daily life

  • Insights that move from cognitive understanding into embodied awareness and sustainable action

  • Shifts that continue to deepen over time rather than fading after the initial experience

  • A stronger nervous system foundation that supports ongoing exploration

This work is about setting the tone for your journey. It is about building the internal capacity to meet whatever arises and metabolize it safely over time. Rather than trying to force insights into immediate action, this work honors the pace at which your nervous system holds and embodies new patterns.

How Preparation and Integration Work

This work is body-centered and designed to support your nervous system before, during, and after psychedelic experiences. Sessions are typically 50 minutes.

As a somatic therapist and TRE® provider, I help you build the nervous system capacity that supports deeper integration of expanded states. This approach is especially helpful for highly sensitive and neurodivergent nervous systems, which benefit from intentional preparation and integration support.

Preparation includes:

  • Clarifying your intentions and exploring what is drawing you to this experience. This helps create a container for your journey that is grounded in your actual needs and questions.

  • Building nervous system capacity through somatic practices and TRE® so your system has the resources to stay present while processing.

  • Developing practices for grounding and returning to your body when the experience becomes intense or overwhelming.

Integration includes:

  • Creating space to process what came through without rushing to interpret or make immediate sense of it. Some experiences need time before their meaning becomes clear.

  • Using somatic practices to help insights move from cognitive understanding into embodied awareness. This is how changes that felt possible during the journey become sustainable in daily life.

  • Exploring concrete ways to translate the experience into your relationships, work patterns, and self-care practices.

This does not require prior psychedelic experience. The same preparation and integration skills support anyone working with expanded states, including those that arise through breathwork, meditation, or deep therapeutic processes.

Deep healing is available. 

It is possible to feel more grounded and resourced as you approach your journey, or to finally make sense of an experience that has been difficult to integrate. Preparation and integration work can help you build the nervous system capacity to hold these experiences safely and translate insights into sustainable changes.

If this approach resonates with you, I would be honored to support you in this work.
