SOMATIC
PLANT MEDICINE
PREPARATION & INTEGRATION
- Curious whether plant medicine journeys align with your path and needs?
- Wondering how you can incorporate insights from ceremony and fully embody meaningful change?
- Seeking support in overcoming challenges or resistance while nurturing personal growth with plant medicine journeys?
- Interested in holistic healing methods to enhance soulful living after ceremonial experiences?
I help you align with a heartful way of BEing that nurtures you & your connection to the living Earth community.
The importance of plants as spiritual healers is honored and practiced worldwide by indigenous peoples, wise women, healers, and medicine people who live in close communion with nature. Plants are our ancient ancestors; the roots of our existence are intertwined, sharing the same DNA coding. They are the keepers of the wisdom of the earth, and their spirit flows through all of Life.
My plant medicine prep & integration sessions are designed for those committed to exploring plant medicine for a deeper understanding of oneself and one’s place within the whole.
We listen to the body’s innate intelligence to cultivate lasting, transformative ways of Being.
My approach creates an environment that nurtures healing and growth through both preparation and integration. During our sessions, you are welcomed with warmth as we center and ground ourselves in the present moment. In the preparation phase, we explore your intentions, identify resources for a meaningful ceremony, understand pre-ceremony dietary needs, address fears, and explore resistances. During integration, we reflect on key ceremonial experiences and establish practices to ease your return to daily life. We may also engage in somatic explorations to deepen our connection with bodily sensations, supporting nervous system regulation and drawing on the intelligence of the plants. Together, we harvest insights and develop practical, daily rituals to rewire neural pathways and align with your inner essence.
In subsequent sessions, we delve deeper into personalized practices, transforming challenges into growth opportunities and uncovering your true essence. We explore your body, energy, emotions, mind, intuition, and soul, setting intentions to integrate your wisdom and cultivate new perspectives on life. Through a holistic approach blending sensing, feeling, and thinking, we lay a foundation for profound personal growth.
My aspiration is to guide you in embodying your Soul’s wisdom, purpose, and unique gifts, fostering a life aligned with your authentic Being and contributing to a world rooted in harmony and compassionate presence.
Sessions are offered as a combined package to support your sacred and precious journey.
Post-ceremony integration sessions as a standalone are also valuable, even months or years after the ceremony experience.

Over the past decade I’ve been on quite a journey with Simone, from my first yoga teacher training to my first plant medicine experience. The breakthroughs under her guidance have been transformational; a return to physical health as well as renewed life purpose and forward movement. I’ve grown in ways and directions I could not have imagined.
Simone is a sensitive soul guide with unparalleled integrity; a compassionate space holder for the kind of work I believe can change humanity for the better. If you are a discerning facilitator or practitioner of personal and spiritual development words alone cannot express her grace and skill in the groundbreaking field of somatic plant medicine integration. The value of Simone’s offerings can only be fully appreciated by experience.
“We feel the touch of life, of a nonhuman awareness, upon us, but more… we
experience something unique to most humans in the West. An intelligence, just as
subtle and sophisticated as our own, but very nonhuman, reaches out and
communicates with us. Across species divide, in spite of our isolation, a different kind of
language than our own, one filled with meaning and intent, tells us something. And a
new world opens up… we experience in that moment what the ancient Greeks called
aisthesis, the touch of a nonhuman soul upon the deeps of us – and know that ours
touches them in turn.”
