Facilitators

The most important part of your journey is selecting a facilitator who will guide you through the entire process: paperwork, scheduling and most importantly setting your intention and preparing you.

Facilitators create a “safe space” to shine a light on the areas you want to explore.  All of our facilitators are trauma-informed, and have significant experience helping clients through the process.

If you see someone that you feel “resonates” with you, go with your instinct.  Let us know and we will get you in contact.  And if you want to talk to more than one facilitator, that’s perfectly acceptable.

FACILITATOR FEES, BELOW, ARE PAID TO THE FACILITATOR.

THE TOTAL COST OF SERVICE IS THE FACILITATOR FEE, ROOM FEE, AND PSILOCYBIN.  Typically the total all inclusive cost is between $1,250 and $1,500.

Meixa Marie Shore

With over two decades immersed in plant medicine ceremonies, I merge my roles as a Birth Doula, End-Of-Life Doula, Somatic Therapist and Movement Educator with a profound reverence for psilocybin’s transformative power. 

Through the labyrinth of chronic pain and childhood trauma, I was blessedly unearthed by the implosive power of psilocybin, a sacred key that unlocked the gates to deep healing and inner awakening. My path has been one of beautiful discovery, where the mystical properties of psilocybin intertwine with the somatic realms of the body, offering a holistic approach to healing and growth.

At threshold points in our life we need to be with who we have been in order to make space for who we want and need to be.  We all suffer.  We all want and need love. We all need forgiveness.  We all desire freedom. What do you really want from this voyage and from life? 

As a Mother, I infuse my practice with compassion, and a deep connection to the wisdom of the body. Love, in infinite waves guides my way.

My mission is to serve as a vessel of presence for healing, supporting others along the path of self-discovery and transformation. With an open heart and a reverence for the vastness of existence, I would be honored to be with you as you go deep and deeper in the voyage of your inner space. 

All of you are welcome here,

    I feel incredibly fortunate that I discovered psilocybin’s healing potential over 30 years ago and have continued to use this medicine for personal growth and self-awareness.

    I consider psilocybin a gift that helps us access inner healing by revealing and releasing whatever isn’t serving us and creating new pathways forward. A facilitated journey can provide a deep reset, clear out pain and confusion, and bring back hope and inspiration. I believe it allows us to connect deeply with our true selves underneath the suffering and stress and make the changes we wish to see.  I have worked with psychedelic plant medicines for most of my life and have seen how powerfully these experiences improve people’s lives. My empathetic approach, rooted in bridging indigenous traditions and psychology, allows me to create a sacred healing space where clients can explore their innermost selves.

    I am passionate about empowering individuals to unlock their innate healing potential.

    I serve my clients by meeting each person where they are at in their life and calibrating to their unique needs. I am a present, warm, loving, and experienced guide, and my role is to prepare and support my clients so they feel well-informed and excited to experience this wondrous journey. I am a founding facilitator at Satya Therapeutics and have guided over 150 clients since becoming licensed. I absolutely love this work and consider it an honor to be part of many people’s transformations and healing.

    I am a mother, flower farmer, birth doula, and a psycho-spiritual life coach. I work with individuals dealing with all forms of depression, anxiety, and trauma, including PTSD, complex trauma, treatment-resistant depression, addiction, and OCD. My passion is helping people realize that it is possible to heal and break free from whatever holds them back from living the life they want.  A guided psilocybin journey is a phenomenal experience that brings clarity and strength, and our integration afterward provides steps forward to continue healing.   

    I have a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies and am currently in graduate school at CIIS to become a licensed trauma-informed psychotherapist.

    Bern Haggard

    Hello. I have worked intentionally and extensively with Entheogens for over 25 years. During this time, I developed a deep understanding of the expanded awareness and profound healing that can occur with Psilocybin.

     

    While traveling to sacred sites in countries such as, Thailand, Peru, Mexico, Belize, and the Amazon Jungle, I participated in numerous and varied Hallucinogenic plant medicine circles and ceremonies. Of which, I studied the different modalities and effects, or what I called “getting the download”. I learned the hard way early on, the importance of journey preparation. Then, I realized the tangible benefits of consciously integrating the experience into you life.

     

    I mentored closely for multiple seasons with a Peruvian Curandera facilitating Ayahuasca group circles. It was this potent work that gave me the meaningful experience of what it takes to hold space for someone in a grounded and compassionate way while they go deep within the psychedelic realms of themself.

     

    I’m honored to use my experience and be of service as a Licensed Psilocybin Facilitator. Thank you.

     

    Facilitation Fee: $750.

    Andreas’ approach with clients is broadening awareness and enhancing mental well-being through self-knowledge and the power of an “inner “healer.”  This is achieved through thorough groundwork, and a transformative experience.

    Andreas’ intention is to facilitate your journey towards holistic growth — mind, body, and spirit.

    Michael Rhodes

    Some highlights of my life include being a part of the “Summer of Love” in San Francisco. This is where I had my first experience with psychedelics.

    I moved to Ashland where I opened the first City and State licensed Massage Studio across from the college. Then I went across the street and enrolled in the college, now Southern Oregon University. I graduated with a Masters Degree in Psychology and Education.

    My internship at the CARE Unit was a thirty-day residential treatment center and medical detox center, which became my first job in recovery. I became a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor, Master’s Level (CADC III).

    After a significant loss in my life, I went to WinterSpring Center for Grief and Loss first as a client and then as a facilitator of the Sudden Loss group. I worked at the Allied Medication Assisted Treatment Program for Opioid Addiction (2016-2020).

    I have my private practice now counseling those dealing with addiction and/or grief. Then I became an Oregon Licensed Psilocybin Facilitator in 2023 and now am very excited to be able to add this powerful tool to my work!

    Now, when I facilitate psilocybin sessions I establish a place that is safe to share and bear witness to what was shared, and as much as possible to stay out of the way of the individual’s journey. As a psilocybin facilitator, I bring over 50 years of experience working with various altered states.

    What I have learned about psilocybin facilitation is that the best way to have a productive session is preparation. We will spend as much time as needed to help you feel ready and as much time as you need to integrate your trip a day or so after the experience. We will work in person initially, and afterwards either in person or via my telehealth portal. The psilocybin session is done at one of the three service centers in Ashland, Oregon.

    Contact me today for questions and more information through Psychology Today’s Therapist Finder for Ashland, Oregon. You can also call me at (541)625-1159.

    Rebecca Mehta

    My exploration of psychedelics began in early adulthood, sparked by curiosity and a search for
    deeper meaning. It wasn’t until I reached a crucial point in my own healing journey that I
    experienced my first guided session, a transformative experience that reshaped my life.

    With compassion and care, I help clients connect with their inner wisdom and courage,
    supporting them as they prioritize their well-being. My approach is both thoughtful and
    comprehensive, involving thorough preparation, a serene and supportive environment for the
    journey, and purposeful integration afterward. I believe the psilocybin experience can be a
    pivotal step in a larger process of self-discovery and growth.

    Through my work with entheogens, I have found greater peace, strengthened my relationships,
    and learned to face life’s challenges with more acceptance and grace. Outside of my professional
    life, I am a devoted mother of two teenagers and an avid equestrian. For the past decade, I also
    served as the founder and lead teacher of a Waldorf-inspired farm school, where I nurtured a love
    for nature and learning in children.

    It would be an honor to assist you on your journey.

    With over 18 years of experience, my focus is on understanding your unique needs and creating a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore and heal. I hold a master’s degree in psychology and have spent over a decade leading therapeutic programs, helping people navigate difficult transitions and find peace. What’s most important to me is that you feel heard, understood, and supported every step of the way.

    My approach integrates interfaith mysticism, biopsychology, shamanic medicine, and energy practices, blending these to meet you where you are on your personal journey. My goal is to guide you gently, providing the tools you need to heal while respecting your pace and personal beliefs.

    Before transitioning to this work in 2017, I served as a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor in New Hampshire and ran a private practice. My work with psilocybin is rooted in a deep personal connection—I’ve had a relationship with psilocybin for over 26 years and underwent a 40-day hermitage in nature to strengthen my practice. I know the power these experiences can have, and I’m committed to creating a space where you can experience that same transformation.

    I offer a sliding contribution scale based on your needs. If you’re ready to take the next step or just want to explore what this might look like for you, I’d love to connect and see how I can support you.

    Becca Parker

    My life’s work as a medical professional has centered in holding space for people for 50 years as a healer. This includes 50 years as a Registered Nurse and home birth midwife, 28 years as a Certified Nurse Midwife, and 25 years as a Family Nurse Practitioner and Nutritionist. I have completed electives at drug and alcohol rehab centers, and worked at state psychiatric wards that have enriched my training. I have childhood experiences in the war-torn environment of substance abuse, and have years of attending Alanon meetings. Continuing education is ongoing, with studies in trauma prominent: certification pending from the Trauma Research Foundation’s Certificate Program in Traumatic Stress Studies, under the tutelage of Bessel van der Kolk, PhD, who is a national leader in trauma therapy; and in Internal Family Systems- “No Bad Parts” with Richard Schwartz, PhD, also a national leader in trauma education).

    Sustaining me through the roller coaster of life is a 55-year practice of meditation that I continue to be devoted to, in conjunction with ongoing and longstanding study & practice with skilled Intuitives & Shamans. Living in Costa Rica gave me the gift of life-changing experiences with Ayahuasca, and psilocybin mushroom journeys continued with the most powerful experiences that I’ve had the privilege to experience in my life. Even at micro-doses. And even with challenging journeys.

    All the journeys have been taken with intentional and thorough preparation and integration that goes to the heart of the lessons offered. It is this focus and intentionality I feel I would be able to assist you with, along with holding safe & sacred space for you during journeys. It is essential that you feel safe. The time we would spend together would create that. And we would take the time that’s needed.

    One focus as a psilocybin facilitator is in helping people, especially women, with long-standing trauma, who would like the added confidence of working with a skilled healer and medical professional.

    I am happy you have found me. Eureka!

    The work on a psilocybin journey can be challenging, confronting, mind bending, fun, uplifting, life- changing, life-affirming, healing, life-affirming and transformative. You have a precious opportunity to make a difference in your life, with the effects rippling out into our world, at a time when we need it more than ever. With the work done during preparation and integration of your journey, I believe your life, and our world will be better off, and indeed more wonderful as a result.

    As we begin this journey together, there are profound possibilities, as individuals and as a connected global community. One step at a time…
