Erica K's Testimonial

My parents divorced when I was very young, and although my mother remarried an amazing man who raised me and eventually adopted me as an adult, the affects of my early childhood trauma carried over into my adult life and relationships. I became a doctor, mother, pilates instructor. I drove myself hard and was always striving to be "better". I worked on, and eventually overcame, my perfectionist tendencies and abandonment issues through years of therapy doing inner child work, EFT, and cognitive behavioral therapy. I do yoga and exercise regularly and have tried a million types of meditation.

I had reached a pretty good place overall, but was still unable to clearly see myself. I lacked confidence and although self-aware I was not self-assured. I just pretended I had the confidence that I wanted the world to see. Working with Ashley enabled me to break down that final barrier and reach a level of self love that I had never even imagined existed. Using psilocybin in a safe and regulated setting provided me with a space to heal core psychic wounds that occurred when I was pre-verbal. Ashley provided a safe and beautiful space for my journey both physically and emotionally. She and I met prior to the therapeutic journey so that she could understand my reasons for this intervention and so that we could start to trust each other. Her questions and counseling in the sessions before helped to guide my expectations and feel safe during the experience.

On the day of the journey her professionalism was extraordinary and her presence throughout the several hours of curated acoustics was part of my healing. Reaching out for human contact and receiving loving touch helped to heal me in ways I could not have envisioned. The therapeutic sessions for integration both immediately after and over the next few days were grounding and the neuro re-wiring over the following weeks was beyond expectation. I am a better, calmer, more integrated version of myself. I see myself in the "first person present tense" for the first time in 50 years. I am so grateful for the experience and could not have imagined a better guide, facilitator and soul sister in this journey.
