Healing Mind Facilitation

Read about Jennifer’s experience with Susanne’s facilitation and integration below:

Before my psilocybin journey, I suffered with an overwhelming sadness that stemmed from adverse childhood experiences, military service, and mental illness. In January of 2024, I flew to Portland from Nebraska with hopes of finding relief for my symptoms.

I found Susanne on a list of facilitators; she had a background in the mental health field which was important to me.  Our first meeting was informational, and Susanne assured me that she was available to answer any questions I may have before making my decision. In a second meeting, Susanne was patient and kind with the questions I asked (again). At that time, I decided I was ready to commit to the psilocybin journey.

During my preparation session, I was clear about what I wanted to gain from the journey, and Susanne was responsive to my needs and preferences. I was able to let go of my worries and be vulnerable during the journey, and Susanne was there every step of the way to make sure I felt safe and secure. She was patient and kind with my questions and requests, and I felt comfortable enough to ask her to hold my hand or my foot, or “burrito” me in a weighted blanket. The journey helped me release the overwhelming sadness I had been carrying for so long. It was intense, but I was able to handle it, and the lightness I feel now makes it all worth it. I plan to continue doing psilocybin therapy with Susanne on a yearly basis to keep making connections and finding clarity and closure on past events.
