Hybrid Healing for Wholeness
Hi, I’m Jess.
I am a holistic practitioner trained in Western psychology, Eastern philosophy, and cross-cultural shamanism. I work in Denver, Colorado as a provisionally licensed mental health counselor, licensed massage therapist, and yoga teacher.
My goal, as a practitioner, is to bring the unconscious forward in support of one’s individuation or wholeness process. I believe our greatest healing is made available via our descent into the darkness. For those willing to take the plunge, I offer a light along the path.
My work is influenced largely by personal healing, steeped in traditions working with psychedelic plant medicines used clinically today to treat stubborn conditions like PTSD. I am currently working toward my facilitator license in psychedelic-assisted therapy for clinicians and offer other services related to Colorado’s Natural Medicine Health Act. In addition, I am the Research Assistant at the Deva Collective, a non-profit committed to psychedelic research for Women’s Health. Our first study investigating microdosing San Pedro for perimenopause is underway.
At the beginning of my career, I was the first employee at the Arcview Group, helped pioneer Ganja Yoga's expansion, and founded the Reflections Retreat. Before my role in cannabis funding, I ran a conscious-living blog dedicated to the appreciation of live music and covered events internationally.
On Plant Medicine
I recently appeared on the Sibs Podcast for a thoughtful and grounded conversation about plant medicine, healing, and vulnerability.
We explored the foundations of plant medicine and healing, why these practices are becoming increasingly visible, and the pressures and pitfalls that come with their commercialization. The conversation also touched on the importance of embodiment, ethics, and integration, alongside a simple practice I believe can be just as transformative as plant medicine itself.
