owner, facilitator, brand designer

PsyAwaken was born out of my final project at the Vital Psychedelics Training program. Through surveys and research conducted during the program, I identified the need for a supportive, community-based approach to integration.

I also handled all the brand design work for PsyAwaken, combining my skills in product design with my passion for helping others heal and grow.

common pain points

Through my own experiences and research, I’ve identified key challenges that many people face when it comes to psychedelic integration:

1. Isolation in Self-Exploration:

Many people feel alone in their psychedelic journeys due to a lack of a supportive community that understands what they’re going through.

2. Lack of Guidance:

Without expert support, it’s easy to feel lost or overwhelmed when trying to integrate the insights from these profound experiences.

3. Cost Barrier:

The high cost of one-on-one therapy makes regular integration support inaccessible for many people.

4. Need for Continuity:

Sustaining the benefits of a psychedelic journey requires ongoing support, but it’s hard to find resources that provide continuous growth and connection.

To address these challenges, I created PsyAwaken — a unique group integration experience designed to support and empower individuals on their healing journeys. PsyAwaken’s solutions include:

1. Community Support:

By offering a group coaching model, PsyAwaken creates a supportive community where people can share their experiences, learn from each other, and feel a sense of belonging.

2. Expert-Led Integration:

Guided by knowledgeable coaches, PsyAwaken helps participants understand and integrate their experiences, making the process safer and more effective.

3. Affordable Access:

Group sessions are offered at a fraction of the cost of individual therapy, with a sliding scale to make support accessible to more people.

4. Continuous Engagement:

The 12-week program includes weekly self-paced exercises, live sessions, and ongoing access to resources and community chat, ensuring sustained growth and support.
