Before moving to the Netherlands, I never would have expected that my experience with psychedelics and Authentic Relating practices (including Circling) would culminate into deeply fulfilling work. Showing up to support people’s self exploration and growth with all of myself, authentically, inspires me to vulnerability and empathy. Moving forward I’m dedicated to helping people experience more of themselves. In this, psychedelics are just one of many gateways to an integral experience of life.

After teaching for years, I burnt out. Since then my life has been very rich. The main things holding me back from being happy, feeling connected and expressing myself fully were lack of self-compassion and trust in life. I was able to shift that by integrating what I had learned through e.g. Circling and embodiment. I continue to be touched by people’s courageous exploration of these practices. These days, I mainly guide people intending to use psychedelic experiences for their stage development.
