Psychedelic Integration Coaching

If you’ve arrived here, chances are you’re holding something tender. Psychedelic Integration Coaching is not about “fixing” you. It’s about holding space for what’s already unfolding inside you, especially when the path through feels overwhelming, unsteady, or even painful. I’m passionate about working with individuals who have chosen plant medicine as part of their healing path, whether you are preparing to sit or are wanting support integrating a journey, I’d love to start the conversation.

At it’s core, Trauma-Informed Psychedelic Integration Coaching is about supporting you before and/or after a psychedelic experience from a trauma-informed lens. For some, regulating tools may be needed before it is considered safe to sit with a medicine such as Ayahuasca. If that’s you, we will start here - learning somatic and grounding tools that will help you prepare for this type of deep work.

For others, you may have already had an experience that brought up repressed memories, reactivated old traumas, or left you feeling emotionally disoriented or unsettled. For others still, you may have felt yourself dissolve into something larger, only to come back feeling smaller, more fragile, or even lost.

All of this is okay.

This integrative approach to healing from trauma exists for moments before, during, and after. It’s about slowing down, honoring what happened, and giving you the support to move through with grounding, self-compassion, and clarity.

Because no two journeys are alike, we will work together to build a customized psychedelic roadmap based on your emotional, physiological, and spiritual needs.

This might include:

  • Preparation sessions before a future ceremony

  • Integration sessions after a recent experience

  • Ongoing psychedelic integrative support

  • Somatic practices

  • Mindfulness and stillness practices

  • Boundary-setting tools

This is not a one-sized fits all approach. Rather, it is rooted in you, your story, your needs, and your capacity at any given moment.

Psychedelic Integration is the process of making sense of your experience, not just intellectually, but somatically, emotionally, and spiritually. You might have seen or felt things that changed you, or you may feel shifts as you re-enter “the real world.” You might be trying to figure out what it all means, or how to live differently now. Integration isn’t about squeezing your experience into a box. It’s about letting it teach you, safely and slowly.

Through our work, we may explore:

  • Somatic and other grounding tools

  • What surfaced during your journey

  • How it connects to your life history

  • The emotions that remain, unresolved

  • What wisdom, if any, is trying to come through

  • How to rebuild stability and connection with yourself

  • How to ground the experience into your life

  • What changes you feel called to make

  • What emotional or behavioral patterns have surfaced

  • How to rebuild a new relationship with your intuition and inner wisdom

As psychedelics become more mainstream, we’re seeing more people step into these experiences without adequate preparation or integration. That’s where harm can happen, not from the medicine itself, but from the emotional fallout that follows. This is why harm reduction matters. I work with clients before and after psychedelic work to keep the process grounded, consent-based, and emotionally safe. If you’ve felt shaken, destabilized, or unmoored after a journey, you’re not alone. And you’re not doing it wrong. Support is not weakness; it’s wisdom.

What Client’s Are Saying…

  • Susie never makes me feel weird for any feelings I share. She normalizes and validates my experiences and has given me so many tools to use to help me manage and regulate my emotions and responses. I feel like we are building each week vs. re-starting every session.

  • I haven't met with Susie in a few months yet she has reached out to check in with me. This is so appreciated! Just knowing she has checked in has been huge for me. It's very comforting to know someone is concerned about me.

  • I started practicing box breathing at night, and I am now able to really quiet my mind and get to sleep. This practice is now part of my evening routine, and I even look forward to it. I started turning the TV off while I’m breathing because I feel like it really helps me get even more present and relaxed

    - Ray

  • Susie is a driven, hardworking individual who leads with compassion, empathy and determination. Her genuine desire to be the best version of herself is admirable and inspiring and she has honed the skills of both giving and receiving feedback. Susie is a strong communicator and an excellent listener. I recall many times having had mindful, goal-oriented conversations with Susie that resulted in personal connection and professional growth. Susie is the person you want on your team, every time, without question
