Psychedelic Integration:
The insights we gain through "non-ordinary" states of consciousness, whether experienced through psychedelics, meditation, Breathwork, or even dreams can be profound. They can lead us to a deeper understanding of life and ourselves.
These experiences can also be fleeting, and unless integrated, will not result in lasting change.
After an opening & expansive experience, there is a certain ‘window of opportunity' available to us, when there is more neuro-plasticity and changing our habits is a little easier. This period is a key to maximizing the potential of creating lasting change by implement new behaviors that support our new understanding.
Having relational support from an experienced guide to understand, process and assimilate our peak experiences can support us in establishing healthier lifestyle & habits. Having support that fosters accountability and provides encouragement grounds our experience.
Through my own ongoing process of healing and recovery from the effects of childhood trauma and chronic pain, I've found practices that have been immensely helpful. Journeying with plant medicine has been key in my own healing journey. It has broadened my perspective, given me access to resources within and helped me to access self-compassion & self love.
This experience, as well as my personal & professional practice with yoga, qigong, energy medicine, expressive arts and Relational Somatic Therapy provide the basis for my ability to offer you presence, support and guidance to integrate new insights and perspectives. I am passionate about sharing these practices and providing information, resources and tools to support your journey toward more wholeness and healing.
I believe in the innate goodness and wholeness that we are.
Through awareness, we can all access our inner wisdom and strengthen our inner knowing, or what Richard Schwartz calls "Self energy", what the Buddhist's call "Buddha nature", and the truth that you are, in essence, (as Advaita Vedanta states) already whole and complete.
I bring presence, compassion, and empathy, and aim to facilitate sessions with spontaneity and responsiveness
to your unique journey of healing as it unfolds.
Integration support can be utilized both pre and post journey. All sessions are individually tailored according to your needs, goals and intentions. A session and may include any of the following: writing prompts, breathwork, intention setting, mandala drawing, guided visualization, 'yoga homework', somatic exercises, RST work, trauma release exercises and more.
Please contact me with any questions, or to set up your appointment. I look forward to hearing from you.

Testimonials:
Cedar creates a safe space for the depth of healing that a medicine journey requires. Her embodied spirit and deep passion for healing are evident in the skills she has developed over years of training, personal practice and teaching.
Cedar responded to my changing needs throughout my journey. Her gentle, respectful and multi-resourced support allowed me to let go and open with trust and confidence to whatever needed to arise. With her guidance in breathwork, words of affirmation, and sensitivity to my physical needs, I felt safe, seen and completely supported. I recommend Cedar's offerings without hesitation!"
