Frequently Asked Questions

What is Compassionate Inquiry?

Compassionate Inquiry is a therapeutic approach developed by Dr. Gabor Maté that gently uncovers the unconscious beliefs, emotional patterns, and survival strategies we formed in early life. Through curious, non-judgmental inquiry, we explore what's beneath your thoughts, behaviors, and symptoms—revealing the core wounds and unmet needs that drive them. In session, I hold space with presence and attunement, allowing your inner truth to emerge safely and organically. This method helps soften self-protection, build self-awareness, and open the door to deep healing and self-trust.What is Spiritual Integration and why is it important after an entheogenic or psychedelic experience?

Spiritual integration is the process of weaving insights from psychedelic or entheogenic journeys into everyday life. Without integration, even the most profound revelations can remain disembodied. My integration sessions support you in grounding your experience, making sense of what arose, and transforming it into sustainable healing and spiritual growth.

How do your sessions support psychedelic or plant medicine integration?

My sessions offer a trauma-informed, somatic, and spiritual space to digest and embody the teachings of sacred plant medicine. Through Compassionate Inquiry, breathwork, yoga, and meditation, we explore what surfaced in your journey—whether beauty, grief, or confusion—and help bring it into the heart, the body, and your lived reality.

What is “Mother Ache”?

“Mother Ache” is the tender longing, pain, or emptiness many of us carry from the loss, absence, or complexity of our maternal relationship. It is both a wound and a portal. Healing the mother ache is a sacred rite of passage—one that asks us to feel, reclaim, and reweave what was lost, and to remember the archetypal mother within.

How do you help women heal the mother wound?

I guide women through a layered process of awareness, somatic healing, ancestral remembrance, and spiritual reconnection. Sessions are customized to meet your story and nervous system, often blending Compassionate Inquiry, breathwork, yoga, and guided inner journeys. My forthcoming book Mother Ache: Reweaving Maternal Love offers a deeper map of this sacred work.

Can one session be helpful, or do I need to commit to a longer process?

One session can bring clarity, grounding, or release—but true transformation often unfolds over time. I recommend three sessions to begin, which allows us to build trust and deepen the healing. Ongoing work creates a container for sustained integration, nervous system repair, and the blossoming of sacred self-trust.

What does a typical session look like?

Each session is unique. We begin by exploring what’s present for you, then follow what arises—through dialogue, body-based inquiry, breath, and stillness. I guide gently and intuitively, meeting you where you are. Whether you're navigating grief, a spiritual opening, trauma, or soul reclamation, we go at the pace of your body and truth.

Do I need to have worked with plant medicine to benefit from this work?

Not at all. While I support many who are integrating entheogenic journeys, this work is equally for those healing relational trauma, exploring the feminine path, or longing to reconnect with their body, voice, and soul. All are welcome.

What is the cost of a session, and how do I book?

Individual sessions are $150 and typically last 90 minutes. Through August 2025, I offer a 3-session package for $299, which allows for deeper continuity and support at a reduced rate.

Sessions can be held online via Zoom or in person at my private office in North Boulder, Colorado—a peaceful, welcoming space nestled near the foothills.

If you're curious about working together, I offer a 20-minute initial consultation for $45, held over Zoom. This gives us a chance to meet, feel into the connection, and explore how I can best support your journey.
