Psychedelic therapy and integration

The ceremony is only the beginning.

My integration methodology is rooted in training with ICEERS, the International Centre for Ethnobotanical Education, Research & Service – a globally recognised organisation dedicated to protecting the responsible use of indigenous plant medicines. Their work spans harm reduction, international research, community building, and advocacy for the cultures from which these medicines originate. It's the gold standard in psychedelic integration training, and it shapes every session I hold.

Plant medicine lights the path, integration shows you how to walk it

So what actually is integration? It's the bit most people skip – and it's the bit that matters most. A psychedelic experience can crack you wide open. It can show you things about yourself you've never seen, dissolve stories you've carried for decades, and reconnect you with parts of yourself you forgot existed. But without integration, those revelations stay in the ceremony or retreat. They become a nice memory instead of a new life.

There's no such thing as a bad trip.

Let's kill that phrase right now. A "bad trip" implies something went wrong – that the medicine malfunctioned, that you broke the experience somehow. But that's not what happened. What happened is the medicine did exactly what it was supposed to do: it showed you something you weren't ready to see.

The terror, the grief, the ego dissolution that felt like dying – that's not the experience going sideways. That's the experience of going deep. The psyche doesn't surface its heaviest material because it wants to punish you. It surfaces because, in that moment, you're finally resourced enough to meet it.

The problem isn't the difficult experience; it’s facing it alone, without context, without support, and without the tools to process what came up. That's where people get stuck – not because the journey harmed them, but because nobody helped them understand what it revealed.

This is precisely where integration earns its weight. A skilled integration framework doesn't just handle the blissful revelations and the cosmic downloads. It holds the shadow material too – the sessions that left you shaking, the ones you can't quite explain, the ones that cracked open something you've spent a lifetime keeping sealed. We sit with all of it. We make it workable. And more often than not, the experiences people label "bad" turn out to be the most transformative of all.

Integration is where the vision becomes the practice. It's where we take what the medicine showed you – the grief that finally surfaced, the forgiveness you weren't expecting, the terrifying clarity about what needs to change – and we ground it. We make sense of it. We build it into the way you actually live, relate, work, and love. That's not something that happens by journalling for a week and hoping for the best. It takes structure, skill, and someone who's been there.

Already had an experience that shook something loose? Good. That's the invitation. Let's do something with it.

Costs for facilitation work vary based on numbers and requirements. If you just want integration after a session with another practitioner, each session is €200.
