Holding Mystery Without Abandoning Rigor

I have enormous respect for the mystery of Natural Medicine experiences.
People may encounter something psychological, spiritual, mystical, symbolic, relational, neurological, or something they simply don’t have words for. I don’t think we need to prematurely decide which explanation is the “right” one.

We can remain curious.
We can also remain rigorous.
Wonder and science can be friends.

…how much capacity for connection, resilience, and aliveness we carry.”

Who Can Request a Session? Do I need a diagnosis?

One thing that surprises people: Colorado’s regulated Natural Medicine program does not require a diagnosis, a referral, or a prescription. Unlike traditional psychiatric treatment, you don’t need to be sick to access this work. Every participant still goes through a full health and safety screening — but the reason you’re seeking a Natural Medicine Experience doesn’t have to be a diagnosed mental health condition.
