Step into your role as a sitter with us. Our January 2026 cohort is forming now.

The First Step Toward Becoming an Ethical, Trusted Sitter

You know firsthand the healing, insight, and transformation that psychedelic medicine can bring. And now, you feel the call to be of service. But you may be asking yourself:

Where do I start?
What if something goes wrong?
Am I ready for this responsibility?

Supporting someone in altered states is not to be taken lightly. These experiences can be unpredictable in nature, and maximizing your efforts in preparation is the only ethical way to approach this work.

This course was created for those who feel a deep calling to serve and who understand the importance of approaching this work with reverence and integrity.

Emerge Prepared, Confident & Ready to Serve

Being True To You has been at the forefront of psychedelic movement since 2010, pioneering psychedelic preparation and integration support long before it became a recognized need. With over 1,500 coaches trained and decades of combined experience, our team has helped shape the ethical, spiritual, and practical foundations of this work.

Our signature Psychedelic Sitters Training is born from this depth of knowledge and the direct, lived experience of supporting hundreds of individuals through psychedelic and transformational journeys.

This brand new training is deeper and more comprehensive than ever, taking you through a 15-week dive into the exact knowledge and skills you need to support clients with the highest levels of care and integrity.

Learn From Team of Experts Committed to Ethical, Compassionate Psychedelic Care

Deanne Adamson
FOUNDER & CEO

The instructors of Being True To You’s Psychedelic Sitter Training bring together over a decade of direct, hands-on experience in the psychedelic, transformational, and recovery fields. Collectively, our team has supported hundreds of individuals through psychedelic and transformational journeys, drawing on deep expertise with medicines such as ayahuasca, iboga and ibogaine, psilocybin, ketamine, MDMA, LSD, and emerging transformational experiences.

For 15 years, Being True To You has pioneered

preparation, integration, and transformational recovery support, and our instructors have each spent years immersed in this work—sitting with clients in ceremony and retreat settings; guiding individuals through crises such as addiction, trauma, and suicidality; and supporting others in peak performance, purpose-driven leadership, and spiritual growth. We’ve trained and mentored coaches, therapists, nurses, and wellness professionals worldwide, equipping them with the skills to hold space with compassion, neutrality, and professionalism.

Kelly Richards
INSTRUCTOR

What sets our instructors apart is that we have not only studied the protocols of psychedelic sitting in depth—we have lived them.

Through real-world trial and error, we’ve navigated complex legal, ethical, and moral decisions, learned to operate as a team, and refined best practices to protect autonomy, safety, and well-being. This lived experience, combined with our comprehensive training frameworks, ensures that those who train with us gain not only knowledge, but the confidence and competence to sit safely, ethically, and skillfully with others.

Zach Ketterhagen
INSTRUCTOR

We approach this work with a universal, compassionate, and ethical model that honors the dignity and sovereignty of each individual.

By blending cutting-edge knowledge with grounded practices, our instructors prepare students not only to sit for psychedelic journeys, but also to build sustainable practices and businesses in this emerging field.

Each instructor brings years of direct experience, with hundreds of psychedelic sits across diverse contexts and medicines.

Our instructors embody neutrality, professionalism, and genuine care, creating a supportive and inclusive training environment.

What Our Graduates Are Saying

Launch Your Psychedelic Career

Start your journey as a professional psychedelic sitter—a meaningful path where you help others heal, grow, and transform. With earning potential of $100k+ per year and session rates ranging from $500 to $1750 or more, this career supports both purpose and prosperity.

Upon completion, you’ll be able to seek out opportunities working alongside many different organizations, such as:

  • Retreat Companies
    Sit internationally for psychedelic retreat companies serving a vast array of medicines.
  • Psychedelic Clinics
    Seek out local Ketamine clinics that lack professionally-trained sitters and fill the gap. Do the same with other substances as they become legal.
  • Sitter Networks
    Join a network of psychedelic trip sitters where you can get consistent quality leads without doing any of the marketing or sales.
  • Medical Professionals
    Partner with medical professionals such as doctors offices, nurse practitioners, or even therapists, and become the go-to referral for their existing client base.
  • Treatment-Specific Organizations
    Be the safe landing needed for people recovering from dependency on substances, going through end-of-life care, or for our often neglected veterans and first responders.
