Trusted Psychedelic Integration Coaching & Support
The ceremony is on the calendar. Or you are considering one. The retreat is booked, the dieta starts next month. You already know why. You can feel the patterns running through you that the old tools cannot reach, and you have decided plant medicine might be the next door.
The Work
What Psychedelic Integration Coaching Actually Does
Psychedelic integration coaching is not therapy, not ceremony facilitation, and not harm reduction during a journey. It is a coaching container for the person walking toward a psychedelic experience and for the days, weeks, and months that follow. I also serve as a facilitator at the Sierra Psychedelic Society.
Most articles on psychedelic integration coaching enter the work at one point: after the ceremony. I hold the full arc. Psychedelic preparation in the weeks before, intention and pattern work, nervous-system regulation that primes your body to receive what comes through. And the integration process after, where insights from the psychedelic session settle into daily life.
Your body is the foundation. Cognitive meaning-making and psychological flexibility land later, after your body settles.
Prep Work
Why the Prep Work Matters as Much as the Integration
Most psychedelic integration support waits until after the journey, then leads with the cognitive layer: journal it, find the meaning. The cognitive layer matters. It just lands later than people expect, because the journey opens your nervous system, and proper integration needs a body that has been prepared for what came through.
This is why the prep work matters at least as much as the integration. Before the ceremony, we name the patterns you are going in to interrupt, work with your nervous system so it has new ground to land on, set intentions that live in your body, and begin the mindfulness practices and embodiment practices that prepare you for what is coming.
We need both a body and a daily life to allow the ah-has to have a place to land in our body and our daily life.
What you clear before the ceremony is what your body will be ready to receive after. Powerful tools work better when your body is already a supportive space for them.
Cycle Breaker
Plant Medicine Integration as Cycle Breaker Work
Many people walking toward plant medicine are doing it for a deeper reason than personal growth alone. You are interrupting a generational pattern. The anxiety your mother carried. The rigidity your father lived inside. The grief your grandparents could not metabolize. You can feel it leaking forward, and you are choosing, consciously, to end it at your generation.
This is Cycle Breaker work. Plant medicine illuminates the pattern with extraordinary clarity. Profound experiences during the ceremony become positive change in everyday life only when the integration work holds. A transformative experience is the journey AND the integration that follows. Pre-ceremony preparation is where we name which pattern is up. Post-ceremony integration is where we let the new pattern take root in everyday life.
The Session
What 1:1 Coaching Looks Like, Before and After Your Ceremony
Coaching and integration sessions are 1:1 and by video or phone, a safe space for integration practices. Before the ceremony, we work with your nervous system, name the patterns you are going in to interrupt, build intention work that lives in your body, and set up the supportive environment your home will need. After the ceremony, we slow down. We let what came through land in the present moment: your body and what it is asking for, the belief that surfaced underneath, the inner-child material that arrived, the practice you take into your week. The rhythm of body, belief, and practice stays across both phases, even as new perspectives and powerful insights arrive in your own experience.
Real Client
Off alcohol and into plant medicine
One of my favorite arcs in coaching is watching someone make the lifestyle changes that move them off alcohol, or prescription pills, and into plant medicine where it is legal. Devin is one of those clients.
"I was relying on alcohol to slightly numb it. Three to four glasses of wine, a cigar when I was burned out, too much coffee, fast food. I cut out alcohol, nicotine, fast food — and eight months in, I'd never felt this intelligent and this good. Out in Boulder where mushrooms are legal, a low dose every few months creates a nice parasympathetic response — you're not in fight or flight, and you can really process stuff. All of these, including psilocybin, are tools. Working with Chandra is a tool. I've never been happier, healthier."

Common Questions
Questions, answered
Is this the same as psychedelic-assisted therapy?
No. Psychedelic-assisted therapy and psychedelic integration therapy are clinical mental health care delivered by licensed mental health professionals in regulated settings. Coaching is a non-clinical container that supports the preparation and integration work around journeys you are responsible for in your own jurisdiction.
How early before a ceremony should I start coaching?
Six to twelve weeks is ideal, especially if this is your first psychedelic experience: long enough to shift your nervous system, name the pattern you are interrupting, and let intention work settle into your body. Even one or two preparation sessions change what your body is ready to receive.
What if I already did a journey and did not prepare? Is it too late?
No. The integration process is its own arc, and people who did not prepare can still do meaningful integration work. The first big step is awareness, and you are already there.
Do you work with specific substances?
I do not give guidance on dosing, sourcing, or psychedelic use itself. Those are decisions you make with the people supporting your ceremony. I work with your body, the patterns, and the integration of your personal experience.
How long do most clients work with you?
Some come for one focused preparation arc of six to eight sessions. Others stay across a three-to-six-month cycle. Some return between their own psychedelic experiences.
Work With Me
The path forward
I work in two coaching pathways, both of which rest on the Mood Before Food methodology. Functional Embodiment is the home for plant medicine integration work: nervous-system regulation, generational pattern interruption, preparation, and integration. Food and Mood is the body-first regulation foundation for clients whose entry point is food and mood. Both heal generational patterns.
