TESTIMONIALS
“The integration afterward was far more valuable and needed than I had known.”
“Missy was just who I needed as a guide for my first psilocybin journey. She helped me prepare through deep and honest conversations, helping me set intentions for the journey. She set the right tone for the journey itself, making me feel comfortable and safe. And afterward she helped me process the experience and integrate the insights I received, which was far more valuable and needed than I had known. I so appreciate her thoughtful and compassionate approach to this amazing opportunity for insight and growth.”

“I’m generally the type of person who tries things by myself. I’m not a group person, and having somebody help me is not something I normally reach out for. But I had been through a lot of life-changing experiences, and I realized something in my life was stopping me from moving forward. I was feeling stagnant at work, had a lot of anxiety around finances and work in general, and had gone through a very significant relationship where I was pushing down a lot of grief.
I did both the group microdosing and large-dose journeys. Being exposed around other people, open and vulnerable, is a hard thing, but I felt immediately safe in both settings. The journeys helped me separate things out instead of feeling overwhelmed by everything at once, and the movement work, the voice work, the music, and the singing were powerful parts of the experience. Missy was available leading up to it, immediately available there, and supportive afterward through the check-ins and group meetings. Just knowing the emotions are there, and not in a scary way, has been huge.
I feel more connected overall, more comfortable in my own skin, and I feel like I have a much more open awareness now.”

“I decided to do this [psilocybin] work because I’ve struggled with depression, chronic pain, and various challenges for a long time, and most medications had not been very helpful. I was nervous beforehand since I was traveling out of state alone and really didn’t know what to expect, but after speaking with Missy and preparing together, I felt safe and supported throughout the process.
The journey gave me more than I thought it would. The first couple days afterward I felt a ton of gratitude, and I was able to open up with my wife in ways I had not before. I’m still working through some challenges, but the experience helped me think about things differently and gave me hope.”

"I transformed my self-image from someone who did what she was told into someone who could choose her own path."

“I came to this work at a point in my life where I knew my thoughts about myself and my identity needed to shift to a different narrative than I’d always believed. I wanted greater agency, authority, decisiveness, and better boundaries, but psychedelic medicine was very new to me and, frankly, I was nervous about it.
Through a medicine journey and deeply intuitive, insightful integration work with Missy, I was able to transform my self-image from someone who did an excellent job working for other people and doing what she was told into someone who is powerful and knowledgeable enough to make decisions for herself and choose her own work. I started a business as a direct result of the self-empowerment that came from this work. I also let go of much of my people-pleasing coping mechanisms and embraced tougher boundaries that helped me protect my energy. The images of my allies are still with me every day, reminding me of who I am, how I am interconnected with the world around me, and helping reinforce the person I am becoming.

“I’m not a stranger to working with plant medicines, but had never used a facilitator until enough of my friend group had gone through sessions with Missy and were all raving about how positive the experiences were, so I decided to contact her. From the first call, through the journey, and throughout integration afterwards, she has been SO present, thoughtful, and caring. It was such a life-changing experience, and I’m so grateful Missy is sharing her gift of healing with the world.”

“Before working with Missy, I had already spent years exploring psychedelics, ayahuasca, plant medicine, shamans, and other journey facilitators, but working with Missy felt different. I came wanting support around abandonment, loss, worthiness, and the deeply ingrained belief that I was not fully wanted or worthy of being loved.
Through this deep inner work, meditation, preparation and integration afterwards, Missy helped me move beneath the story and into the younger parts of myself still carrying the pain of that separation. With her guidance, what had once felt like rejection began to reveal itself as one of the greatest expressions of love and care.
One of the most powerful parts of working with Missy is her voice. When I am deep in the darker places of the journey, her singing feels like something beautiful reaching into the depths and holding me there. Working with Missy has helped me come home to a more loving, worthy, authentic, and whole version of myself.”

“I came into this experience hoping to deepen my understanding of challenges in my relationship with my mom, uncover blind spots in how I was living and working, and reconnect with a deeper spirituality. I tend to overwork, struggle with balance and boundaries, and had been trying to reconcile the harm caused by organized religion with my own personal views of belief and faith.
In Missy's care, I felt completely safe and free from judgment, which allowed me to truly immerse myself in the experience. Through surrender, movement, breath, and skillful guidance, I experienced a deep grief and gratitude for my relationship with my mom, incredible gratitude for the life and family I have cultivated, and a communing with God that I hadn't felt in a long time. I came away with greater clarity around my priorities, self-care, and connection. More than anything, I left with a sense of coming back to myself—blissful, grateful, and in awe.

“Missy has a caring and gentle but true presence in guiding medicine journeys. She clearly loves what she does and brings her whole self to creating a safe and informed container for the work. I highly recommend working with her as you experience your healing journey.”

“Missy’s course was the perfect introduction to Mindfulness and how to begin. Learning the connection between slowing down thoughts and focused concentration was key for me. Although still a beginner, I have already seen the benefits of “stillness and just breathing”, even if it's only for a few minutes a day!”

I met Missy [in 2019] as a fellow student in The Mindfulness Meditation Teaching Certification program led by Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield. The training was exceptional and Missy was an outstanding student committed to the path of increasing awareness both for the sake of herself and others. Since then she has developed her teaching skills and embarked on a deep exploration of the healing and regenerative power of the Divine Feminine. A mother, daughter, sister and wife, she brings a full-bodied experience of what it means to be a woman, while understanding that the Divine Feminine calls out to be recognized in all genders. Missy is an enthusiastic ally and an inspired teacher for anyone who seeks to expand the limits of their self-conception and embrace their whole, wondrous self.

I came to Missy through a recommendation by my therapist to pursue a meditation practice. In the past I'd struggled to get into a rhythm with meditation and often found myself lost in how to make meditation a part of my life. Missy provided an easy and judgment free group meditation course that navigated me through the basics of meditation and helped me implement a practice in my daily routine. The course was deep, but approachable and has helped me grow my own personal meditation practice beyond what I thought was possible.

I LOVED working with Missy. Her depth of understanding of energy and emotion and how to feel them and channel them is nothing short of amazing. As a person who struggles with anxiety and is a chronic over-thinker, I spend a LOT of time and energy in my head. Missy has a full toolbox of methods to get me out of my head and into my body which is instrumental in allowing emotions to process. Not only did I leave each [coaching] session feeling better, but I also left feeling better equipped to manage my stress and anxiety moving forward.

“Missy is the most intentional and compassionate guide for meditation and inner exploration. She embodies the divine feminine, beyond any one religion, and is inclusive of all. Not only does she teach mindfully, she creates and holds a welcoming, sacred space of love and care. It's not just a meditation class, it's a soul massage.”
–Lydia B.
“Missy’s intuition and knowledge provide a path to a more rich understanding of the divine feminine … and myself. I highly recommend taking her course to continue the journey of discovery.”
