Post-Ceremony Integration Support
Ceremony is a beginning...
... and you are ready to continue.
Perhaps you are looking to explore and deepen into your visionary experience, seeking meaning, or to expand your understanding.
Perhaps you have an intention or goal in mind for how you would like to enact change in your life in response to your experience.
Perhaps you're asking yourself, 'what are visionary medicines and how
can I relate to them?'
Or perhaps you have a firm relationship with this path and desire an ally with whom to deepen, strengthen, and expand the work you have already begun.
This is not a solitary journey.
Let's go together.
Some Words on Integration
So, what exactly is integration?
This question, 'what is integration?' is like asking, 'what is ceremony?'. Indeed, ceremony and integration are mutually arising processes in our lives. They are completely entwined, equally informing and deepening each other. So, your integration may take form in a multitude of ways.
The basic principle is that with integration, we honor our medicines and ourselves by grounding the teachings and experiences we received in ceremony into our daily lives and incorporating them more fully into ourselves in ways that support continuous, meaningful change.
We have many tools available to us as we decide what this will mean for us. A few basic questions may be helpful in selecting which tools to use first;
Where am I?
Take stock of where you are in relation to ceremony.
Why am I here?
With what intention did you begin this journey?
Where am I headed?
Your will shall decide your destiny.
My Philosophy
Our ability to commune with Spirit and access extraordinary states of mind with visionary medicines is a high honor and blessing. I believe it is our responsibility as students of these medicines to do our homework. Encounters with Spirit can do a lot to initiate inner change and evolution, but we are remiss to think that those changes will last unless we anchor them into our practices, into our daily lives, and deeply into our conscious ways of being.
I offer guidance and support for individuals following deep encounters with Spirit. I help journeyers make sense of their experiences and assist in the ongoing process of integrating the insights and wisdom gained from ceremony into their daily lives. My goal is to empower medicine students to embody and live out the transformative guidance they receive, fostering meaningful and lasting change.

A Sister On The Path
I graduated from Roosevelt University (Chicago, IL) in 2011 with a BA in English Literature, Philosophy, and Creative Writing. My career has included various environments within academic and creative spheres with a theme of supporting the work of artists and creatives.
I began my medicine path in 2016 in the Church of the Santo Daime where I studied for six years as a firmada and guardian. In 2017 I began sitting with rainbow altars serving sacred Amazonian plant medicines and by 2019 I was supporting ceremonial altars as guardian, assistant, and song holder. I completed my first two traditional plant dietas in 2021, first in the Ashaninka way in Brazil, then with the Shipibo in Peru. I returned to diet again with the Shipibo in 2023. I also support ceremonial Psilocybin as host, space holder, and song keeper.
I am a dedicated student of my medicine path, passionately and devotedly following the ways of the plant teachers and using the gifts I've received to help others along their path.
