Preparation Sessions and Integration Therapy for Plant Medicine, Psychedelics & Non-Ordinary States Plant medicines, psychedelics, and non-ordinary states have the potential to unlock deep healing and transformation. When facilitated within a safe, intentional, experienced, and well-guided container, these experiences can offer profound shifts in perception, emotional healing, and spiritual growth. They can provide an opportunity for self-discovery, trauma resolution, and insight into one’s life and relationships, while fostering a deeper connection to the self and to the world around us. These medicines have been used by indigenous cultures for thousands of years, often in ceremonial contexts, to heal individuals and communities, offering wisdom and insight that is not always accessible through ordinary means. ​ It's essential to recognise that these experiences require a thoughtful approach guided by skilled expertise, proven proficiency, appropriate safety, and diligent care.  They are also most effective when offered with proper preparation and integration. Preparation ensures that the individual is grounded, centered, and aligned with the intention of their journey, while integration allows for the full embodiment and understanding of the insights gained, ensuring they can be incorporated into daily life in a meaningful way. Lina has vast experience in the realm of plant medicines and non ordinary states, combined with a keen understanding of Shamanism and the Western psyche.  From nineteen ninety-five to nineteen ninety-eight, she spent three and a half years traveling through South America, immersing herself in the rich traditions and teachings of indigenous cultures. It was during this period that Lina first began her deep connection with plant medicines, gaining transformative insights that shaped both her personal journey and her approach to healing. Following this formative experience, Lina continued her exploration of plant medicine and healing traditions, studying Western and Chinese herbalism, clinical aromatherapy, the meridian system, and deepening her understanding of the therapeutic potency of plants. Since two thousand five, she has focused on working with plant medicines in a therapeutic context, helping individuals navigate their own healing processes through preparation, integration, and somatic practices. This journey has fostered a profound understanding of how these medicines can facilitate healing and self-discovery when used in a safe, intentional, and well-guided way. Preparation Sessions An Invitation to Engage in Conscious Preparation for Plant Medicine and Non-Ordinary State Experiences ​ As we continue to explore the depths of trauma healing and the potential of non-ordinary states, it’s crucial that we approach the use of plant medicines, psychedelics, and other transformative therapies with intentionality and care. It is imperative to prepare the body and mind to engage fully, without retraumatization, and in a way that fosters lasting change. When considering a journey with plant medicines or psychedelics, it is vital to approach these potent tools with respect, preparation, and an understanding of our own history—especially our family dynamics, past experiences, and the imbalances or patterns that may be carried from them.   ​ Through my preparation sessions, we will work together to gather information about your present state— mind, body, psyche, emotions —so that we can ground and stabilize your journey. I will also guide you through an exploration of your family blueprint and relational history, helping to uncover any underlying imbalances that could affect your experience.  In my work, I have witnessed how unresolved trauma can influence the way we move through life, often without our awareness, hence the importance of this exploration in preparation for any non-ordinary states work. Drawing from somatic therapy, shamanic practices, and psychotherapy, we will create a personalized intention that is connected to your deep inner landscape and aligns with your healing goals, laying the groundwork for a transformative and safe journey. This is not just about what happens in the experience itself but about how we carry ourselves towards the experience, how we carry that experience into our daily lives, and how we integrate the insights and healing in a grounded, practical way. I invite you to engage in this intentional, preparatory process—building a strong foundation for a journey that is not only safe, but one that will also lead to profound self-awareness, healing, and transformation. Integration Sessions for Plant Medicine, Psychedelics, and Non-Ordinary State Experiences The journey doesn’t end when the non-ordinary states session does.  The work of healing and transformation continues to take place in the integration process—bringing the insights, emotions, and revelations from your non-ordinary state experience into your everyday life. It's important to recognize that these experiences often stir up deep emotions, memories, and patterns that may not be fully processed in a single session. The work that unfolds during these non-ordinary journeys may take time to integrate, as it often reveals parts of ourselves that need ongoing attention and healing. During the integration sessions, we will work together to help you process and make sense of your experience. Often, these journeys (plant medicine, psychedelics, non-ordinary states) bring up deep emotional shifts, profound insights, and new perspectives that can feel overwhelming or difficult to fully grasp right away. My role in this process is to help you decode these experiences, making them practical and useful for your ongoing healing journey. We will explore how the insights and shifts from your plant medicine, psychedelic, or non-ordinary experience can be applied in your life, supporting you in making grounded, sustainable changes, and helping you to heal any residual processes that were unearthed during your non-ordinary journey / experience.  Integration often involves addressing any emotional, psychological, or somatic residue that might remain, helping you to navigate challenges, clarify your intentions, and move forward with purpose. Each person’s journey is unique, and the integration process requires patience and understanding. So keep in mind that it is not uncommon for individuals to need multiple integration sessions to fully unpack and process the insights, emotions, and shifts that occurred during and after their non-ordinary state experience. With each Integration Session, we continue to explore the material that surfaces, making space for deep healing and clarity over time. The goal is to create lasting transformation, not just in the moment, but across all aspects of your life. Through somatic practices, reflective exploration, deep emotional processing, and shamanic wisdom, we’ll work together to ensure that your experience leads to tangible, sustainable growth. ​ Integration therapy serves as a vital companion in this journey, creating a safe, grounded space to reflect on the experience, make sense of what’s been uncovered, and move toward lasting change.  By doing so, we can ensure that the wisdom gained during the non-ordinary state experience is fully embodied and incorporated into daily life, helping to sustain lasting transformation and healing.
