Psilocybin Facilitator
Michelle is a dynamic and empathetic psilocybin facilitator dedicated to helping individuals "get unstuck" and renew their lives through guided psychedelic journeys. Michelle spent 18 enlightening years working abroad, which afforded her a diverse, global perspective, and honed her change management skills. In 2014, she relocated to Portland, a move that initiated a period of intense personal and professional change. Her own healing experiences with psilocybin during these transitions inspired a profound career shift from corporate life to psilocybin facilitation.
Michelle was intrigued by this potent plant, and when Oregon recognized its benefits, she intensified her research. Witnessing its success in aiding terminal cancer patients and alleviating depression tugged at her heartstrings, especially due to her own family's struggles. She realized the potential to help others by offering light and gift through psychedelics during their challenging moments.
Today, Michelle offers a unique approach to healing, grounded in her "AAA of healing" framework—Awareness, Accountability, and Acceptance. She creates a safe, non-judgmental, peaceful space for clients, focusing on surrender, forgiveness, and self-love. This empowers clients in seeing a path forward by finding capacity for a deeper connection to spirit, people, and nature, and developing sustainable stillness practices for continued growth and healing post-journey.
Michelle's clientele ranges from professionals to parents, often new to psychedelics, seeking to overcome personal challenges. She prioritizes relationship-building and thorough preparation for each session, encouraging clients to embrace surrender, trust in themselves, and to experience what beauty lies on the other side. Her sessions have resulted in transformative outcomes, such as significant pain reduction, shifts in relationship perspective, smoking cessation, and emotional breakthroughs involving forgiveness and the release of past traumas.
What sets Michelle apart is her faith-based approach, a rarity in psychedelic facilitation. She aims to redefine perceptions of faith and psychedelics, blending her diverse life experiences with deep spiritual empathy. Her mission extends beyond individual healing; she is passionate about educating the public on psychedelics and shifting cultural narratives around plant medicines. Michelle encourages her clients to share their healing stories, hoping to inspire broader acceptance and curiosity about psilocybin's potential.
Through her practice, Michelle stands as a beacon of hope and growth, merging her faith, patience, authenticity, joy, and wisdom to create meaningful change in the lives of her clients.
