Psilocybin produces a non-ordinary state of consciousness — one that is deeply individual and can vary significantly from person to person and session to session. Many people describe vivid imagery, heightened emotion, a dissolution of ordinary self-boundaries, and a profound sense of connection — to themselves, to others, to the natural world, and to something larger. Others experience it as quieter and more internal. Some sessions are beautiful and expansive. Some are difficult and confronting. All of it is information. Preparation sessions exist in part to orient you to the full range of what might arise.

Yes - though your awareness will be significantly altered. Psilocybin does not render you unconscious. You will typically be lying down with eyeshades and music, moving through an inner landscape. As your facilitator, I will be present throughout and you can communicate if needed. Most people find that the experience asks to be met inwardly rather than verbally - and preparation session will be a time to process these components of the experience.

Psilocybin sessions typically last four to six hours. The effects peak somewhere in the middle and gradually soften. Plan to rest for the remainder of the day following a session. You will need someone to drive you home — you will not be able to drive yourself. Most people feel grounded and themselves again by the following day, though some find they need a few days of gentleness before returning to ordinary demands.

No. You will need to arrange for someone to drive you home after every administration session. This is non-negotiable and a condition of the work. Please plan for this well in advance.

Difficult experiences during ketamine sessions are possible and are not necessarily a sign that something has gone wrong. Sometimes what arises is precisely what needs to be met. The therapist’s role is to hold the container with presence and care, help you stay oriented, and support you in moving through whatever arises rather than moving away from it. Preparation sessions exist in part to equip you for the full range of what might come so that you arrive resourced and ready.

Certain medications interact with psilocybin and require careful consideration before moving forward. Lithium and tramadol in particular can interact dangerously with psilocybin and are contraindications for this work. SSRIs and SNRIs may reduce the effects of psilocybin — something we explore carefully during preparation. MAOIs also require careful screening.

The intake process includes a full review of your current medications. Where indicated — particularly for those on psychiatric medications — we will consult with a psychiatrist as part of the preparation process to ensure this work is safe and appropriate for you. You will not be asked to navigate this alone. Your safety is the foundation of everything here.

If you are currently taking any psychiatric medication, please mention it when you reach out. It is important information and will be handled with full confidentiality.

Most people work within a range of one to three administration sessions — though this is not a fixed protocol. The number is determined together based on your intentions, your history, and how the work unfolds. Some people find that a single well-prepared and well-integrated session creates profound and lasting shift. Others are called to go deeper over multiple sessions. What matters more than the number of sessions is the quality of preparation and integration surrounding each one. We will make this determination together, with care and without rushing.

Psilocybin works differently than ketamine in its timeline. The most significant shifts often emerge not during the session itself but in the days, weeks, and months of integration that follow. Many people describe a felt sense of something having moved or opened — sometimes immediately, sometimes gradually. Patterns that have felt fixed may begin to feel more permeable. Grief that has been held may begin to flow. Identity that has felt constricted may begin to expand. Integration sessions are where these openings are tended and brought into daily life. This work asks for patience — and rewards it.

Both medicines work through non-ordinary states of consciousness to create access to healing that talk therapy alone sometimes cannot reach. Ketamine tends to produce a shorter, more dissociative experience and is often a gentler entry point — particularly for those newer to this kind of work or managing treatment-resistant depression. Psilocybin mushroom experiences are typically longer, more immersive, and often more emotionally and spiritually expansive. For some people, ketamine is the right first step — and psilocybin becomes available later. For others, psilocybin is what's calling from the start. This is one of the things we explore together in the consultation call.

No. You do not need to be a Colorado resident to receive psilocybin facilitation. Administration sessions are held at licensed healing centers in Colorado — you will need to be physically present in Colorado for the session itself, but residency is not required.

Yes. Psilocybin mushroom facilitation is legal in the state of Colorado under the Natural Medicine Health Act, passed by Colorado voters in 2022. Sessions are held at state-licensed healing centers by state-licensed facilitators. This is a legal, regulated, and carefully structured process.
