Generation Re:Gen

I believe we become the person who would have saved our younger self, and in this I have found beautiful purpose.

Studies show us direct mentorship, listening, and support from an admirable and mature support person can significantly shift mental health in teens and young adults that have experimented with psychedelics and substances. Between 13 and 20, the pre frontal cortex is growing, which shows up as reasoning being often fear based. Thought process is guided by the amygdala, the fear center in the brain. The brain is a powerhouse for taking risks at this time, and takes into consideration how choices will look to anyone they admire. As parents, we wish our own advice would be received, but the time has come for teens to naturally seek autonomy. Development requires youth to look outside of the home for new perspectives to continue the process of defining their unique individuality.

I don’t see this as anything but misguided possibility.

It invites us to dream bigger, to stretch beyond our current circumstances, and to embrace the unknown with open hearts and fierce purpose.

Interviews with top founders, CEOs, and experts in the psychedelic field reveal a shared story: many began their leadership paths young, often lacking direction after their first psychedelic experience. It’s both motivating and frustrating to recognize that the war on drugs targeted certain groups to control and intimidate, yet many still follow that path. Adults are still shamed for pursuing healing through non ordinary states, and the narrative has led us to ignore the youth who choose these transformative experiences, instead of supporting them through all of their choices.

I mentor from decades of personal experience with psychedelics, overcoming addiction with substances, a well-rounded, extensive professional training background, and almost 20 years of being a parent myself. This unique combination allows me to navigate this incredible developmental stage effectively and with integrity, empowering individuals to take calculated risks while never losing sight of their authentic sense of Self.

Carl Jung says that “Life really does start at 40; anything before is just research.”

I am here to shine light on their current, and future research timeline.

What you can expect in a mentoring program.

• A 3-12 month mentorship program for teens and young adults who deserve, like every other human being, to have a shame-free container to express anything that arose after non-ordinary states of consciousness has expanded awareness. Guidance is through a process of reflection, integration, coaching, support, education, and beautiful reminders on how to allow joy into each day. The results by the close of the mentorship are -

• Coping skills for nervous system regulation.

• Fresh awareness of the many parts of the Self.

• A solid sense of direction for the next 12 month cycle of their maturing.

• A certificate of graduation to include in volunteer and work searches.

• Respect for entheogens as we learn from indigenous practices.

• A clear understanding of laws regarding psychedelics.

• Continuing access to 1:1 personal development with me.

Programs run for 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months. This is deep exploration. Get access to daily text or email inquiry if you need immediate support, weekly growth tasks, monthly vision and reflection sessions, quarterly prep for the next stage, a coming-of-age ceremony that honors the grief of stepping out of childhood, and much more.

When we reach the halfway point into our mentoring relationship, we discuss what the next chapter is going to look like. This is different for everyone, but can look like searching for purpose-driven work that aligns with current values, preparing for a trip to see another part of the world, locating internships, lining up courses that will further current passions, etc.

Without this judgement-free container, and without the involvement of a responsible, unbiased mentor, we can see that many teens wind up spending years—sometimes even decades—becoming truly lost, addicted, burdened by depression, overwhelmed with shame, estranged from their true selves, and feeling distant from friends and family. It’s disheartening to realize they may struggle through precious years of their lives in addictive coping patterns, or risk the burden of debilitating debt pursuing college degrees they may not benefit from, all because they believe that's the only way they will be accepted or deemed acceptable by society. This is where we learn to stand in our truth.

I look forward to chatting with you about your needs, or your child’s needs. We can start with a 15 minute consult and go from there.

Programs start at $1200 with sliding scale available.

* I do not use psychedelic substances in my mentorship program! This program does not replace the work that a therapist would do, and I will happily refer out clients that present with growth and healing needs that are outside of my scope of practice.

*Many psychedelics are scheduled substances still in many areas of the world. While this limits the ability to legally work with these medicines, it does not limit our ability to seek support, integration, and education.

*Our youth are not getting the integration support they need when they exercise their cognitive liberty and experiment. I do not offer opinions on “what age is appropriate” for experiencing non-ordinary states of consciousness. My offering is to mentor youth through an integration process that allows them to appropriately grieve their childhood and blossom into the next chapter of their lives without mental health and addiction challenges, and I specialize in psychedelic-informed education This work hits close to home for me, because this is the program I would’ve benefitted from in my youth.
