She/her

My journey in healthcare began in psychiatric care in my teenage years, and from that moment on, I discovered my passion for bringing laughter and compassion to those in need.
The turning point in my mission came when a loved one struggled with addiction, instilling in me a profound respect for autonomy and an equality-based approach, especially in these challenging situations. This experience spurred me to explore holistic approaches to healing, honoring the mind, body, spirit and environment as interconnected forces.

My spiritual journey unfolded gradually, guided by the transformative power of plant medicines. What began as experimenting with psychedelics, led me to profound insights about destructive patterns I wore and helped me remember childhood trauma so this experience could be embraced and healed. As I walked along this path, plant medicines became the catalysts for a deeper awakening. As my journey deepened, I realized my calling not only as a seeker but also as a guide for others. I feel heartfully connected with the psylocibin spirit, the medicine plant of preference to work with.

Stepping into the role of guiding ceremonies, I finally found purpose and courage for the long-held wish to sing. The singing of medicine songs became an integral part of the ceremonies I lead, weaving healing energy.

I discovered an ability to channel an intelligent being. This energy flowed naturally during ceremonies, offering me the ability to cleanse the energy in the space, to raise my frequency and to support others by releasing darkness.

In addition to my work in an ambulatory team for individuals experiencing their first psychosis, I offered a mindfulness group. Through mindfulness practices, I provided a compassionate, safe space for awareness and spiritual exploration, supporting participants as they navigated difficult experiences during their altered states.
