Psychedelic Preparation

What it is

Set intentions and work through your needs in preparation for a sacred inward journey, allowing for creation of an experience that prioritizes safety and maximizes the potential of your experience.

Why is preparation so important?

  • You’ll be able to share your hopes for this experience and we’ll hone in on your intention to strategically set the stage for your journey–what you’re hoping to learn, process, or invite into your life.

  • Naming expectations allows us to zero in on what you believe will happen and adjust expectations realistically. Accepting the aspects we can't control, such as subconscious influences or unexpected emotional states, is often part of the experience. I'll make sure you're informed and aware of your choices.

  • We’ll talk through any fears you have leading into the experience and find solutions that eliminate or reduce any factors that could interfere with you having a positive experience.

  • All these things combined increase the chances that you’ll be focused and available for the type of journey that could give perspective or allow for meaningful confrontation of memories, emotions or limiting beliefs.

Work with me to set the stage for a transformative experience

  • I know how to support you in distilling down and synthesize to get to the core of an insight or making meaning of your experience in a way that allows for what you learn to be memorable and applicable to your life.

  • It’s my philosophy that being informed is the most empowering way to enter into an experience with the unknown. I will (with love and respect) make you aware of the upsides, the downsides, and the possibilities of weirdness as best I can well before your journey so you have the truest sense.

  • We’ll dive into creative ways to enhance your surroundings by choosing elements you might like to be present to feel connected to your intention and for your own comfort and aesthetic preferences.

How it works

Let’s talk to determine if your needs and my areas of expertise are a match. From there, if we’re aligned, we’ll set up time for your preparation session and can talk through package options to co-create the right plan for you.

What to expect

One to two 60 minute conversations over Zoom or in-person to design the most personalized plan for your journey, true to your intentions, and setting the stage for the types of insights and breakthroughs you’re ready to receive.

“Having Kelly’s support before and after a psychedelic journey helped me find a deeper sense of freedom and a genuine belief in my own capacity to face difficult change. Together we designed a plan for my experience that included my intentions, the elements I wanted to incorporate, as well as discussing my fears and how to navigate them if they arose. Her thoroughness and care in preparation made me feel really safe and held.”

“Kelly makes new experiences approachable, comfortable and worthwhile. I worked with her for journey preparation and was impressed with her pre-work and genuine care and thought about my questions and concerns, as well as her patient approach leading up to and after my journey. She helped me feel very safe and went above and beyond to offer tools and ideas for protecting my mental state throughout the experience, which gave me a sense of comfort on my actual journey day. Having Kelly as a pre-journey guide makes this a next level experience, and enables you to do more than you thought with trust, knowledge and a kind heart.”
