About

I am a spiritually driven explorer of the multi-dimensional self, curious about life, on a journey of love towards greater self-awareness and compassion.

I graduated in 2013 with a Master's Degree in Integral Theory (Psychology/Human Development) from John F. Kennedy University. I'm certified as a coach by Integral Coaching Canada and as a Craniosacral massage therapist with Bastyr University in Seattle. I've also received training in Shamanism from the Foundation of Shamanic Studies (Michael Harner) and Last Mask Center. I've been initiated and trained in the Andean/Inca tradition. More recently I completed an INELDA training as End-Of-Life Doula.

While both can support healing, self-discovery, and personal transformation, they offer very different experiences. A full Ibogaine journey is an immersive experience that often takes place over several days in a carefully supported setting. Many people describe it as a deep inward exploration...
