Skills and Background

At Guiding Growth, I offer a distinctive combination of practical experience, theoretical knowledge, and a deep-rooted passion for personal transformation to help you on your journey.

My Vision

I envision a world where individuals are empowered to reach their fullest potential through self-discovery, healing, and personal growth, while serving others cultivating self-respect.

My Mission

I am committed to guiding and supporting you towards holistic well-being. By integrating time-honored wisdom with contemporary approaches, including psychedelic-assisted therapy, I facilitate transformative experiences and lasting positive change. My goal is to empower you to respect yourself deeply and extend that positive impact to others through service.

Practical Experience

With over 25 years of experience in exploring altered states of consciousness, including extensive work with psychedelic substances, I bring a wealth of practical knowledge to my practice. This hands-on experience, combined with years of personal growth work, allows me to guide you with empathy, understanding, and insight.

Theoretical Background

My approach is grounded in a solid theoretical foundation:

 

  • Certified as a Health Coach
  • Trained across several psychotherapeutic techniques
  • In-depth study of psychedelic-assisted therapy protocols
  • Continuous learning in neuroscience and consciousness studies

Training in Psychedelic Therapy

 

I have completed various courses focused on psychedelic therapies, including:

  • Microdosing practices
  • Integration strategies
  • Foundations of MDMA therapy
  • Psychedelic exploration guidance
  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) with psychedelic therapy
  • Polyvagal theory applications
  • Therapeutic methods for psilocybin treatment

These courses cover both the scientific and therapeutic use of psychedelics, focusing on their potential as healing tools.

Additionally, I trained with Jonathan Robinson, an experienced MDMA guide and facilitator, through an in-depth course focused on integrating MDMA therapy with personal growth, mindfulness, and trauma healing practices.

I believe in the importance of continual learning and stay up-to-date with the latest research and best practices in my field.
