What I provide.
Upfront pricing.
An adaptable container to your specification.
Respect for limited time and energy.
You get:
An initial 15-minute consult. This is free, and can be conducted over Zoom or in-person. Choosing a sitter requires careful thought; most people can tell right away if the fit is a good one or not. I deeply respect your time and energy, as well as my own, as not to squander it.
A thorough consult before your intended consumption date. This is roughly 1 1/2 to two hours long. This is conducted in-person only, at my office in Longmont, Colorado. During this time I perform an intake: do a brief physical assessment and discuss your goals, along with how to prepare, what you wish to see happen, and nail down a date/time/set/setting for your session. We also discuss any outstanding medical issues, how to work collaboratively with your other health team members (such as if you’re on hospice), look at your current medications and alert us of any "red flags", and go over any other logistical challenges. Important note on substances except cannabis: I will not advise you on how to procure whatever psychedelic substance you’re looking to take, as a lot of these medicines remain illegal at a federal level. Colorado is fortunate in that a small but growing number of these have been decriminalized or outright legal for consumption, but please keep in mind it is currently incumbent on you to source your own psychedelics.
If your substance of choice is cannabis = a dispensary visit. This will take roughly an hour. Here we meet at our agreed-upon dispensary and procure the medicine in a form of your choosing.
Sitting with you on your consumption date ("day-of" session). We talk about how long you want me to be here on this day during our thorough consult, as the time length can vary based on the substance you ingest along with what you might want to do during the trip (as explained in the next drop down menu). Typically, my cannabis sits are around two to four hours long. MDMA three to six hours. Psilocybin four to six hours. LSD for up to ten hours. Psychedelics like salvia can be an hour. Other substances are handled on a case-by-case basis. Note that these are just general guidelines I’ve found; your individual needs will naturally vary and I endeavor to be as transparent as possible with estimates. Regardless of the length of time we're aiming for in our thorough consult, rest assured I do not leave you in your journey until you feel like you don’t need me anymore.
A post-integration session. Typically occurs within the week after your session. Usually this looks like a restaurant lunch or coffee, but can be something like an informal tea* at a beautiful location of my choosing.
What is provided during the "day-of"?
The day of your trip is here, and it's the best part for both of us. In addition to medical expertise, I pride myself on making beautiful containers of these life-changing events. Some things I have been asked to do during the hours we agreed upon are below:
A post-experience homemade soup or (very) light dinner, which can be vegan, vegetarian, Kosher, or dieta-friendly.
Outdoors-facilitated/weather-permitting: picnic spreads*, walking around parks or other beautiful areas, light hiking on level ground, etc.
A pre- and/or post-container spiritual ritual. I will pray with you, read poetry or verses,do a tarot spread or thanksgiving, light candles to burn or set intentions, bless the experience space with holy smoke, and generally enthusiastically participate in any event of your imagination that you feel gets you - as Rumi says - “in the same room as God”.
Creation of a “living altar” during sits.
Hosting a dialogue focusing on matters of the heart. This option is especially recommended for those taking MDMA.
An energy-work session. I am a Level Four certificated Healing Touch Practitioner. Healing Touch is similar to reiki in structure but was adapted for hospital and outpatient settings, in addition to pulling from many distinct energy work lineages such as those of indigenous North Americans.
Conducting a cacao circle* with ceremonial-grade Guatemalan cacao. You only pay extra for the cacao itself. I am in the process of obtaining certification to better facilitate these ceremonies.
Between 10p and 6a are considered “night trips”*, and are an additional $10/hr. Sometimes the answers you get change depending on the time of day you ask the questions, and I would encourage you to consider this option for certain substances and/or themes you may want to explore.
(* may incur an additional fee)
If you have an idea that isn't on this list, let's talk about it. I am honored to share in your beliefs and co-create your container to the extent that you'll allow me to.
Note: it bears repeating here that it is currently incumbent on you to source your own psychedelics. I do not provide them the day-of.
What is special about repeat sits?
Sitting with me again comes with benefits. It's my way of thanking you as the fruit of us having built trust together.
We will not have to do another intake as they are valid for one year OR until a material change in your physical health, whichever one occurs first. In other words, with an up-to-date intake, you are free to schedule a sit with me anytime both you and I are available. This is an economical way to not only avail yourself of my services, but to encourage building a stable relationship with the psychedelic(s) of your choosing.
Your intake for the year(s) following your initial year will be dropped to $250, if you show me receipt of a $50 donation to maps.org that occurred within the year.
Your post-integration session can be waived assuming I have sat with you for that specific substance before. Most people don't choose this because closing the loop on the experience with another is fulfilling, but the option is available exclusively to my repeat sits.
Your post-integration session can be purchased a la carte if you're a repeat sit, exclusively. The way this usually looks is like this: you've taken the substance before with me sitting for you and wish to do it again, but alone, however you still want to close the loop by talking to someone else afterwards. It's a way to hold yourself accountable and uncover details about your journey you may have missed.
