Nic Burnand

Hello there! I'm Nic, and I’m here to guide you on a powerful journey of healing and self-discovery through personalized psilocybin truffle sessions. With the aid of psilocybin truffles, we'll explore the inner workings of your mind in a safe and nurturing environment.

Preparation

Preparation is a crucial part of the process. During this stage, I will work closely with you to ensure that you are mentally, emotionally, and physically prepared for your session. We'll discuss your intentions, address any concerns, and create a tailored plan that suits your needs.

The Session

The session itself is where the journey begins. In a safe and comfortable space, you will consume the psilocybin truffles, and I will be there to guide you through the experience. During this time, you will delve into the depths of your consciousness, exploring different facets of your psyche, and uncovering profound insights and emotions.

Integration

After the session, it’s time to make sense of what you experienced. Integration is essential for applying the insights you gained to your daily life. We'll discuss your experience, and I’ll help you to process and understand the emotions and thoughts that arose during your journey.

Now, let’s talk about the four key elements that make this journey unique:

1. Breathwork: Through breathing exercises, you'll learn to use your breath to regulate your emotional state and connect deeper with your inner self. This is especially powerful when combined with the psychedelic experience, opening doors to healing and personal insights.

2. Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy: IFS views your psyche as composed of various “parts” or sub-personalities, each having its own dynamics. During the session, we'll employ IFS to understand and reconcile these different parts of yourself. This facilitates deep internal healing and self-understanding, particularly as these parts become more accessible during the psilocybin experience.

3. Ritual: Implementing rituals, such as lighting a candle or setting an intention, helps create a sacred space for your experience. This practice encourages you to enter the journey with an open and respectful mindset, contributing to the depth and quality of your experience.

4. Trauma Work with the Body: Recognizing that trauma often resides deeply within our bodies, this approach enables you to navigate and release traumatic energy. By combining bodywork and touch with the psychedelic journey, we create an opportunity to process and release stored trauma, leading to profound healing and transformation.

Through this thoughtful combination of preparation, the session itself, integration, and the incorporation of breathwork, IFS, ritual, and trauma-informed care, we create a comprehensive approach to your healing journey. I’m here to support you every step of the way as you explore your inner landscape and move toward positive change and self-discovery.
