Introduction to Psychedelics

Autumn is the perfect season to adopt a more leisurely pace, allowing for healing of the mind, body, and spirit. It’s an opportunity to explore the various tools at your disposal as you embark on a transformative healing journey using plant medicines and entheogens.

Have you noticed that everyone around you seems to be talking about some type of microdosing? Across America, individuals are increasingly exploring plant medicines, including microdosing cannabis, mushrooms, and other substances. This month, we’d like to bring awareness to the topic, along with our programs and services to keep people safe. As Cannabis & Psychedelic Nurses, we have researched the science, supported clients in their journeys, tested many of the medicines ourselves, and aim to bring this crucial information and support to those wanting to dip their toes in these new waters.

There is a massive renaissance of psychedelic medicines due to the rampant mental health issues caused by Covid and accelerated change in our society. Plant medicines seem to be as effective as traditional pharmaceuticals, without the heavy side effects and costs. But they are not without risk, and must be done in a safe setting. Legal access to psilocybin is available in pockets of our country, and many are even growing their own or finding supplies online or through friends. Others are going to Ketamine clinics, local or international retreat settings, or trip parties in home settings.

New Programs & Services for Psychedelics to Guide Your Journey
Psychedelic means to “reveal the mind” and once you do, you create agency, or the ability to rebalance and refresh how you see the world and your place in it. This is the key to living in a dynamic world.

Psychedelic therapies are emerging healing modalities that aim to heal neurochemical signaling in the brain so that people can live a more peaceful and grounded life. We all pursue body – mind – spirit healing, and this might be the shortcut we need for integrated living.

The healthcare landscape continues to be reshaped by consumer demand for innovative, personalized care experiences that offer new solutions. Melding our Network Community, Group Therapy, One on One via Zoom, and In-Person as able at events around the world, we are here to make a difference for global healing.

A Modern Twist on Ancient Medicines
For over 30 years, MAPS – The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelics Studies has led the way, pursuing MDMA as the first FDA-approved therapy for treatment resistant PTSD. Johns Hopkins is working on Psilocybin treatments for end-of-life depression. Research centers around the world are participating and providers are eager to learn.

Our innovative and robust new program compiles the latest research and information from around the world. Despite legal roadblocks and prohibition, people find access to these powerful medicines, and we will guide and support those ready to try. Offerings include a detailed curriculum taught through an academic online program, or personal care in a 1:1 telehealth setting in the privacy of your own home.

NEW 1:1 Individual Psychedelic Coaching & Educational Services
With all of this exploration, few are getting the needed care to be truly informed about how it works, or how to integrate these experiences into daily life. Root cause healing needs to go deep. Whether we’re guiding you to engage with your psyche or nourish your neurochemistry, nursing care is a fundamental step to safety and success. We already guide people in optimizing CBD & Cannabis therapies, so adding Psychedelic Care is simply the next conversation.

Psychedelic Care is also Endocannabinoid System Care. Our expertly trained Nurses prepare you for your experiences with a ‘Pre & Post’ Plan to maximize the benefits and minimize the side effects from plant medicines.

Nurses have the educational and foundational knowledge, skills, and values central to the therapeutic use of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. Our holistic approach to care creates an environment of “empathy, trust, spiritual intelligence, patient protection, ethical integrity, and proficiency in complementary healing techniques.”
