About PsyAwaken

PsyAwaken is rooted in the belief that healing and growth truly flourish when nurtured by a caring community. We understand that:
A dedicated cohort provides a sense of belonging and mutual understanding that solitary journeys often lack. This shared experience is not just comforting; it can be a powerful catalyst for deeper insights and healing.
With the guidance of knowledgeable coaches, journeyers can navigate their experiences with greater safety and clarity. Our experts offer not just support, but a framework for understanding and integrating these integrative experiences.
Post-experience, the need for maintenance and continuous growth is essential. Our program offers an ongoing community platform, ensuring that the journey of self-discovery and healing doesn't end with the experience but continues to evolve.

My Story

My journey through life has been marked by a struggle with depression, rooted in childhood trauma. As an adult, I dabbled in yoga, meditation, and self-help, yet a shadow of skepticism lingered, leaving me to think, "Maybe, this is just who I am, forever entangled with depression."
This narrative shifted in 2021 when I ventured into the realm of psychedelics, a path previously unexplored due to its unfamiliarity. My epiphany began with a psilocybin-assisted ceremony in Canada, opening my mind in ways I had never experienced. However, the post-ceremony 'afterglow' was fleeting, lasting just three weeks or less. Seeking deeper understanding, I reached out to the ceremony's healer, who introduced me to the concept of integration, starting with journaling and meditation — with more intention, this time around.
Embracing this inner work has led to a transformation in my thought patterns. This personal evolution sparked a deep affirmation to educate and guide others about the benefits of psychedelics integration. With over 3 years of group coaching experience and as a founding product designer at The Grand, where I help diverse individuals feel less alone, I've witnessed incredible personal progressions. This experience has further fueled my drive to support others on their journeys.
With a background spanning two decades in product and design, I'm now pivoting towards a new path in psychedelic integration. As a graduate at the Vital Psychedelics Training program, I'm honing my skills to become a focused integration coach to build a community and support at PsyAwaken.
