Plant Medicine Preparation & Integration

Ceremony starts with the preparation. True healing happens when you bring the medicine home.

In recent years, research and awareness around sacred plant medicines and psychedelics have grown significantly. Yet one of the most essential aspects of this journey remains overlooked: preparation & what happens after the ceremony.

Profound experiences with plant medicines can open doors to deep insights, healing, and transformation. And at the same time, too often, after deep healing in ceremony work, we return to the world feeling untethered, disconnected from the insights we gained and the profound sense of belonging we experienced in ceremony.

It is through preparation & integration that we begin to embody these insights and bring them into our everyday lives.

The medicine may open the door, integration is how we learn to become it.

My Approach

My work is deeply informed by my personal ten-year journey of apprenticing with sacred plant medicines and learning from various lineages.

This path that continuous to evolve has so far taught me that healing and growth is multidimensional process involving the body, mind, emotions, nervous system, relationships, and spirit. The seen, the unseen, mystery and life.

I offer a holistic, somatic, and trauma-informed approach to preparation and integration, supporting people to move beyond intellectual understanding into embodied transformation.

Together, we explore how insights can translate into meaningful changes, embodiment and transformation.

This path is not meant to be walked alone.

Navigating Trauma with Care

Plant medicine experiences can bring unresolved trauma, emotional imprints, and memories to the surface. Without adequate preparation and support, these experiences can sometimes leave individuals feeling overwhelmed, dysregulated, and disoriented.

My approach emphasizes nervous system regulation, somatic awareness, emotional processing, and compassionate care, creating a supportive space to navigate what emerges at your own pace.

Everyone deserves compassionate care, thoughtful preparation, and meaningful integration support throughout their plant medicine journey.

From Insight to Embodiment

Whether you are preparing for a ceremony, navigating a challenging experience, or integrating insights from the past, I offer a grounded, nonjudgmental space that honors your unique journey.

My intention is to support you in transforming the insights gained through plant medicine into a living reality, cultivating greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, and deeper connection with yourself and the world around you.

  • “During my time working with Ana, I learned to attune to my nervous system and to shift between the states of it instead of staying frozen or dissociated. I learned to build my curiosity and awareness of the unconscious habits no longer served who I am and how I want to live. I learned to be compassionate and present with myself and sit with whatever I was experiencing, shame, anger, joy, sadness, grief. I learned to embrace my body and my voice and to cultivate and connect with my somatic wisdom” ~ Steve, Australia

  • I have been working with Ana in individual somatic therapy for almost 12 months. I have found doing somatic therapy invaluable, especially as someone who has done a lot of talk therapy. I recently completed the Nervous System Program and have seen things shift for me in significant ways.  Integrating what I have learnt in my everyday life has been a significant shift that I am so grateful for. ~ Maria, Australia

TESTIMONIALS

  • I was experiencing anxiety, poor sleep and feeling fear of the unknown. I learnt how to be with my body and enquire with compassion about painful traumas. What has been most valuable is learning to accept all my parts and learning how I can be whoever or whatever I need to be for myself. I feel empowered to manage my wellbeing through a greater awareness of what is happening for me in any given moment. And I’ve been able to use the tools that I’ve learnt with Ana to give care, compassion and understanding to myself. I’m incredibly grateful for taking this journey with Ana because it means I have a better relationship with myself. I’ve healed much of my wounds and my suffering and feel lighter and more able to live the life I want to live.

    Tony, Australia

  • It has been only 6 months since we started working together, but for me it has been the equivalent of years of therapy. Having someone like Ana, that holds your hand and guides you gently in this process makes it possible to heal and feel life is worth living. Working with her has been one of the best decisions I have taken.

    Carolina, Colombia

  • The most valuable thing I have learned is that most of the answers I’m looking for are actually already inside me and working with Ana helped me access and decode what is already there, waiting to come through. I have begun to let go of my ‘people pleaser’ and have developed my confidence to express my needs, desires and boundaries a lot more.

  • Tap into your bravery to try, to simply show up. Everything else will unravel. Ana has a deep embodied toolkit and incredibly intuitive sense of what might be appropriate to support.
