Private Retreats
If you change your mind,
you can change your life.
Entheogens
catalyze possibility.
Research shows that psychedelics support neuro-plasticity in the brain – making it easier to form new patterns.
The psychedelic renaissance is here – and it’s not going away.
Far more than a passing trend, psilocybin is a natural medicine and powerful healing agent that has been healing humans for thousands of years.
Considered one of the most ancient medicines in existence, psychedelic mushrooms are rich in healing benefits. This has long been known to indigenous people and those with intact medicine lineages.
Now, modern science is catching up to what ancient cultures have known all along.
The container Kat created and held was easily one of the best I have experienced. I felt honored, respected, and witnessed in a way that helped me process and recontextualize the hurt and confusion that I was struggling with. I feel much more engaged and excited for what life has in store for me now that I have been able to close that painful chapter in my life.

Kat is an energy conduit. An empath. Warm and welcoming. She holds your hand as you dip your toe into the spiritual world and serves as your guide as you plumb its depths. She will listen and help you find meaning that serves your journey. I always begin our sessions in an anxious state and end in a peaceful one. And I exhale.

Holistic Support.
Your Private Journey Package
I am a trained psychedelic guide as well as an initiated shamanic practitioner who has worked with psychedelics ceremonially for over a decade.
My approach combines both Western clinical practices to ensure your safety and wellbeing in addition to shamanic nature-based rituals and ceremonial medicine practices to create a holistic and spiritual experience that addresses both the seen and unseen aspects of healing.
I believe both the clinical and sacred models are necessary to empower significant and sustained change.
Private retreats are curated to your personal needs and goals while taking into consideration your unique background, lifestyle, social identity, and healing situation.
My intention as a psychedelic guide is to build a safe space and informed relationship with you through dedicated intake conversations, clear consent protocols, and trauma-informed facilitation and space holding. It is a privilege to be a supportive ally for you on your journey and offer you a safe space to do your healing.
All private retreats include the following to ensure that you are supported at every step of the process.
-
This is the first step of your journey.
Your confidential intake form provides me with a comprehensive overview of your current goals and needs, background and medical history, previous experience with entheogens, trauma history, and other important information that help us both determine whether this experience is a good fit for you and whether I am the right guide to support you.
-
Once your intake form has been completed and we’ve already had an intro call to confirm whether this package is the right step for you, you will pay your deposit and book your retreat date.
At that point, we will schedule your intake calls. Your intake calls are where we dive deeper into the fine details and essential considerations of your journey.
In your two (2) 60-min intake calls we will discuss the nature of your needs, goals, and challenges as well as determine consent agreements, talk through personal boundaries and protocol, and define your intentions.
-
The spiritual diagnostic is an optional 60-90min virtual ancestral healing session that investigates the conditions that created your current situation.
This powerful reading can illuminate deeply engrained and unconscious stories and beliefs, as well as inherited ancestral patterns that might be influencing your healing (or creating challenges that are ready to be addressed). Bringing forward and illuminating these aspects before your journey can support you in clarifying any confusion or stuckness and creating more ease in your healing process.
-
Your private retreat is a comprehensive and fully supported experience at a private home in a gorgeous wilderness setting an hour south of Washington, D.C.
I will be your dedicated guide throughout the duration of your journey. Your journey includes supportive rituals to prepare your body and spirit and a nourishing meal to ground your body afterwards.
Depending on your desires and needs, your journey might also include time outside or a gentle hike.
-
As a certified guide, I am trained and equipped to provide trauma-informed care that considers every aspect of your experience.
Proper integration is essential to integrating your experience and ensuring that you metabolize and apply the lessons and insights you received to enable meaningful change and transformation long-term.
In your two (2) 60-minute integration calls, I support you in exploring what came up in your journey and integrating the meaning and impact of your learnings to enable significant and sustaining change.
Kat has a gift for facilitating self-revelation.
She created a unique experience that was the perfect combination of ritual, adventure, and inquiry. I feel confident that she would create a powerful journey for any person that feels called to work with her.

My Approach.
I believe in the individual’s
innate healing intelligence.
My experiences are designed to support your body’s innate healing intelligence in doing what it does best.
This means that I take into consideration your needs, boundaries, previous experiences, trauma, and mental health history when curating your personal journey and dose.
I don’t believe that everyone is suited for “big” experiences, nor do we require extreme sensation in order to heal.
It is easy and unfortunately quite common in our culture to abuse medicine, and doing so can create more trauma and suffering on top of what we are already working with. As someone who felt I needed “big” experiences in order to heal, I’ve learned a lot about the power of gentleness – massaging and opening the areas of stuckness vs forcing my body towards extremes.
It is easier to ingest more medicine than it is to turn down the dial on your journey.
With that in mind, I work closely with you to create the conditions most conducive to your healing journey, recognizing that how we meet our pain is one of the most essential keys to true healing.
