My name is Missy, and I specialize in supporting and guiding women through their own healing journey in a holistic and empathetic way. I’m a Certified Entheogenic and Integration Coach, a Certified Psychedelic Medicine Facilitator, as well as being a licensed yoga instructor who’s certified in Trauma-Sensitive Yoga.

You may be wondering, why would I be a good coach for you to work with?  

Here’s what I would say:  it’s because I’ve endured a great deal of trauma, loss, addiction and pain in my life…which means I truly understand and have deep compassion for where you are. I know from experience it can be difficult to find the light inside — but I’ve learned how to turn our darkest and most painful experiences into the raw material to build an extraordinary and beautiful life.

I also believe that our greatest challenges can lead to a deepening of our connection to ourselves and others, if we have the right guidance and practices. That’s been my experience, and my passion today is to help others overcome their challenges and bring love, connection and meaning deep into their lives.

My life didn’t start easy, as I was given a 20% chance of survival when I was born because of several serious medical complications.  I spent my first weeks in the neo-natal ICU and had a difficult childhood, suffering through a diaphragmatic hernia, bowel obstructions, and having only one developed lung. But I was a survivor, and that’s been true my entire life.

I endured an abusive father, multiple sexual assaults, several friends lost to suicide and addiction, and growing up in a controlling and oppressive church. I was 10 when my parents divorced which nearly killed my soul. Not surprisingly, all of this trauma and pain led me into drugs and alcohol in my early teens, trying to escape what I experienced as a cruel, harsh world. I developed an eating disorder, a horribly deep depression, and reached a point where I knew that if I didn’t start making better choices, that my life was going to end.

A key turning point for me several years ago was meeting my soulmate (now my husband) who introduced me to plant medicine and psychedelics as a form of healing. As I processed so much of my past pain and trauma, I soon realized I wanted to deepen my connection to yoga and became an instructor (RYT-500). This led me to learning about trauma and the effects yoga can have on helping healing trauma, and I committed to becoming a Certified Trauma-Sensitive Yoga facilitator (TCTSY).

As I gained more experience in psychedelic medicine and learned different tools in healing trauma, I completed a psychedelic-assisted therapy facilitation course to learn customized stacking and protocols to get the best results for each individual. I also completed the Being True To You certification program as an Entheogenic and Integration Coach. Using both my personal experience and professional training, I get to live my dream of helping and guiding women through their own healing journeys.

I feel we are offered these tools in life to use them with intention, love and respect. My hope is to be able to connect with you on a deeper level and help you rediscover yourself and your gifts as we work together to heal what you’ve been holding on to for so long.

Healing and recovery takes courage and commitment, as well as having someone there to help guide and support you through the work.

I’m here to help you step into the beautiful journey and life that’s waiting for you.
