I am an author and advocate for risk-reduced and responsible access to the transformative power of psychedelics.

My three best-selling books- Psychedelics for Everyone, Beyond the Trip, and The Veteran’s Guide to Psychedelics-explore how these powerful substances can be catalysts for healing, personal growth, and spiritual awakening.

With a Master’s degree in Psychology and Neuroscience of Mental Health from King’s College London, I bring academic rigor to my work, blending it with a heartfelt commitment to creating risk-reduced and sacred spaces for exploring entheogens. As the Executive Director of SP Community, I focus on fostering meaningful experiences that lead to profound insights and lasting change. I also collaborate with medical professionals to refine best practices in psychedelic therapy.

My path into this field was shaped by my own transformative experiences and a background in entrepreneurship. I’ve co-founded multiple impactful for-profit and not-for-profit organizations.

Through my writing, leadership, and advocacy, I strive to make these transformative tools more accessible and to educate on their potential for healing and empowerment.
