FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How will you ensure my safety in a psychedelic- or empathogen-assisted journey?
Your safety is my top priority. I take time to fully understand your personal history, mental and emotional health, and any concerns you may have before the journey begins. We will also have a thorough discussion about your medical history, including any medications you’re currently taking, to ensure there are no contraindications with the medicine we’ll be working with.
If you choose a synthetic psychedelic or empathogen medicine, we will have it lab-tested to ensure it is uncontaminated and safe for consumption.
During the journey itself, I provide a calm, grounded presence, and I’m available to guide you through challenging emotions or sensations that may arise. I offer gentle reminders, breathing techniques, and somatic grounding exercises to help you stay connected to your body and the present moment.
I also incorporate trauma-informed care, which means I understand how to recognize and support you through any trauma responses that may arise. I will guide you through the process with integrity, respect, and compassion, ensuring your physical, emotional, and mental well-being is always protected.
I also place a strong emphasis on aftercare, providing integration sessions to help you process the experience and apply the insights gained into your life.
What’s the difference between a psychedelic and empathogen medicine?
Psychedelic medicines, like Psilocybin (magic mushrooms) or LSD, tend to create mind-expanding experiences, often giving people deep insights, vivid visuals, and a sense of connection to something bigger than themselves. They’re known for helping you explore your inner world, shift perspectives, and open your heart to new possibilities.
Empathogen medicines, like MDMA or 3MMC, primarily work by fostering a deep sense of emotional openness, compassion, and connection, helping you access and heal emotions in a safe and supported way.
While both can work through the mind and heart, psychedelics are often more focused on expanding awareness and consciousness, while empathogens tend to centre more on healing emotional wounds and building trust in relationships.
Could I have a ‘bad trip’?
What people usually think of as a ‘bad trip’ often happens when they take a medicine they don’t fully understand, in the wrong environment, or at a dose that’s too high. Our work together is very different. You’ve made an intentional decision to do this, and we’ll be working with a carefully chosen dose in a safe, supportive setting.
While the experience can be intense and sometimes uncomfortable, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s bad. Often, it’s the difficult emotions or challenging moments that lead to the most meaningful insights and growth. If you’re open to it, those hard feelings can be powerful teachers.
If things get tough, I’ll be right there with you. I’ve guided many people through similar experiences and have been through my own challenging journeys. We’ll navigate it together, and you’ll come out on the other side feeling more grounded and clearer.
Will this change my personality? Or will I still be the same person?
You will still be you. If anything, you might feel like a more complete, authentic version of yourself. Sometimes, through life experiences or trauma, we lose touch with who we truly are. A psychedelic- or empathogen-assisted journey can help reconnect you with those parts of yourself that may have been tucked away, bringing them back into alignment so you feel more integrated and whole.
