I am a huge advocate for the healing powers of mushrooms.

Every varietal of edible mushrooms has it's own set of incredible benefits from helping with memory to being a great source for nutrients like vitamin B, and it is an incredible meat substitute for plant-based eaters.

But there is something really special about psilocybin mushrooms and their benefits for some people who live with PTSD. I have micro-dosed mushrooms for the last 6 years to change my relationship with my mental health and with what I eat. Psilocybin isn't a fix all, or a quick fix, but it can an incredible tool that helps facilitate healing long-term along with therapy and shadow work.

I absolutely believe that I helped heal quite a bit of my trauma using this incredible fungi. (I have worked with psilocybin varietals from all over North America and each of them have their own unique personalities when it comes to healing.) Around 3 years ago I started the "Healing for Healers program" helping other empaths, psychics, and mediums as a plant medicine Coach focusing on psychedelics in relation to healing and getting a clear connection with spirit. This work has been incredibly fufilling, and has taught me so much, and I'm so grateful that oregon has legalized psilocybin assisted therapy so that we can learn even more collectively.

I have even applied to be on the Oregon Health Association's Psilocybin Advisory Board because I hope to put my input in on how we can make an ethical and equitable psilocybin industry if it develops into having recreational cultivation and sales.

As legalization around psilocybin assisted therapy starts to progress, I am excited for more research and more candid conversations around psychedelics & healing to happen.

How about you?
