This is a recording from October 2022, when I was enrolled in a Psychedelic Assisted Somatic Experiencing Training Program. I shared this testimony of my journey of self-discovery and healing, catalyzed by the transformative power of psychedelic medicine.
With over two decades of personal and professional experience in training, meditation, coaching, and yoga therapy, my experiences with mushrooms marked both a return to and an expansion of my path toward deeper inner healing and personal growth.
As I share this in October 2024—two years after my initial testimony—many more astonishing experiences have unfolded, both for myself and those I've guided. The transformative power of psychedelics continues to reveal new layers of healing, growth, and connection that have deepened my understanding and expanded my work in ways I couldn't have imagined. In future posts, I'll dive deeper into these journeys and the profound lessons they offer. Stay tuned for more insights, stories, and reflections on this ongoing path of discovery.
My first encounter with psychedelics in the early 2000s awakened me to the consciousness present in nature. I felt a deep connection to plants, trees, and grass, perceiving them as alive and full of personality. But it wasn’t until a significant experience in a Dallas hotel room, where I distinctly felt the separation of my physical and light bodies, that my perspective on life began to radically shift. This experience deeply influenced my professional path, guiding me into meditation, coaching, and yoga.
After a 20-year hiatus from psychedelics, I found myself called back to the medicine—this time with a focus on healing an anal fissure and gaining clarity in my relationships, especially with my wife and stepson. What followed was more than physical healing. My journey with mushrooms offered profound insights into my family dynamics, my own rigidity, and the need to release and allow. I gained a new level of empathy for my wife, understanding her difficult upbringing and the strength it took to navigate her life. This deepened our relationship in ways I hadn’t anticipated.
Through this experience, I realized that psychedelics could be a powerful tool not only for personal healing but also for cultivating compassion and stronger connections with loved ones. Now, I’m integrating these lessons into my coaching practice. My commitment is to help others unlock the potential for healing, personal growth, and transformation through the intentional use of psychedelic medicine, guiding them toward living more joyful and vital lives.
I continue to grow and explore this path, I’m excited to support others on their journeys, including my wife as she embarks on her own psychedelic experience to address challenges within our family. Together, we are navigating the transformative power of psychedelics, and I look forward to sharing these insights with others who seek healing and growth.
