Preparation & Integration
Expanded State of Consciousness: when one's mind has been opened to a wider or entirely new aspect of awareness, reality and an essence within themselves that previously were not available.
This coaching is powerful on its own or in conjunction with expanded state work. If you are planning to enter an expanded state experience, intentional preparation and integration is essential in taking a profound experience to truly transformational levels.
Learning more about ourselves before this type of experience and working with the same tools during the integration process, can amplify the evolution we are seeking. These additional steps will allow us to more effectively embody the wisdom that we receive from these powerful teachers and learn to live our lives from a new frequency.
Preparation Benefits
Understand what yourself more are and what shifts you would like to see in your reality.
1
Support opening and vulnerability for healing to begin. This is the most vital element for healing to begin.
2
Deepen your understanding of the root cause of the dis-ease in your life by recognizing patterns, limiting beliefs and attachments to stories.
3
Accelerate our awareness of the root causes of our dis-ease. It is also the starting point for any journey of self discovery, with or without psychedelics.

Preparation and integration coaching is not exclusively for psychedelic experiences. It stands on its own as a powerful modality for anyone moving through significant life transitions or any experience designed to create meaningful change.
That said, if you are preparing for a psychedelic journey or intensive retreat, preparation is not optional. Simply showing up is not reverent enough for the potentiality of what can unfold. The depth of what these experiences can uncover deserves to be met with intention. Knowing yourself better before you enter, having clarity about what you're carrying and what you're seeking, has an immense impact on both the experience and the outcome.
Two to three preparation sessions are recommended, anywhere from a few weeks to a few months in advance, depending on where you are and what you're moving toward.
Integration Benefits
During an expanded state experience, especially an intensive retreat, it is easy to feel that all our questions have been answered, that the healing has completed. To this day it still happens to me, this "honeymoon phase." These incredible moments of clarity and connection feel unshakable, as if they will integrate immediately and lasting change has occurred.
While this can be true, it often takes quite a lot of intention to change our patterns and our lives once we are faced with reality again. The insights are real. But insight alone doesn't rewire the mind or retrain the nervous system. That part requires active work, and it requires time.
Because of this honeymoon phase, many people feel the integration piece can be skipped. Trust me, it cannot.
Long before I became an integration guide, sharing my passion for its necessity was a foundational piece of how I held space. Not everyone needs another person to walk with them through the process. Some can implement heightened awareness and create change on their own. And most of us need support, someone to ask the right questions, to inspire reflection, to help us stay honest when old patterns start pulling us back.
I have certainly needed this kind of support, and still do at times. There is something beautiful about sharing our truths, our vulnerabilities, our humanity with someone, especially an unbiased and honest ally who can meet you exactly as you are and support you to elicit true change.
