Client Reflections

If you’re curious what it’s like to engage in this kind of work with me, here's what a few of my clients had to say about our time together.

Sam

"My experience with David as my guide was a gift. I felt safe and comfortable. He is thorough, yet it just feels effortless from him; which is such a reassuring energy to bring to what would otherwise feel like such a heavy experience.

The journeys I have taken subsequently have carried the best elements of my journey with David at my side."

Sheila Thiele
Therapist, MA Clinical Psychology
Connected Therapy

David was instrumental in my healing journey. He helped me integrate my journey experience as well as process residual trauma.

I work as a licensed therapist, and I am constantly impressed by David’s knowledge, intuition, and deep understanding of the psyche, IFS, and journey integration.

James

"David guided me through my life-changing experience. I gained a tremendous amount of understanding as a result of his knowledge and experience.

David ensured that I was comfortable and safe and monitored me throughout my journey. That kept me at ease and allowed me to focus on what I was learning. I highly recommend this experienced guide."

Olivia

"You can trust David to be with you every step of the way. As a woman looking to undergo this experience, it was important for me to be in safe hands. David came to me highly recommended for his sensitivity, empathy, and care throughout the process."

Jason

"This microdosing journey has been such an extraordinary one. I’ve never experienced a bliss like this. I look at things different now. I look at my son and can be present, and the mundane things in life seem to have more purpose.

This journey has been so rewarding and David is such a wonderful person to have in your corner with this experience."

Saif

"For the first time in a long while, it feels like I finally have control over my emotions...David also helped me recognize parts of myself I didn’t know existed."

Kim

"David has been instrumental in helping me connect the dots in my life and has made me feel comfortable sharing my story and the challenges I've overcome.

Thank you, David, for bringing clarity and balance into my life! Your empathy, passion, and understanding mean the world to me."

Carol

"I can't thank David enough for all the help and support he's provided me. For the first time in a long while, it feels like I finally have control over my emotions. He created a safe and judgment-free space where I always felt very comfortable to speak in.

David also helped me recognize parts of myself I didn’t know existed. Whatever you’re going through, I’m certain David can help."

Inquiry-Based Intention Setting

Before a plant medicine journey, setting a clear intention in the weeks and days beforehand helps orient and anchor the experience. Over 2–3 one-hour sessions, we’ll explore the terrain of your inner life using a process rooted in somatic awareness and compassionate self-inquiry. Together, we’ll craft a journey intention centered on what you most want to understand, transform, or invite into your life. Each session offers:

  • Guided inquiry across four or five core lenses: Body, Mind, Community, Spirit and Nature
  • Thoughtful ntention refinement through compassionate inquiry and conversation
  • A full summary of insights, intention, and personalized practices to carry with you into the journey space

Preparing Your Inner System for the Journey

When we enter altered states, we don’t travel alone—a whole inner system comes with us. Sometimes, parts of us that are anxious, protective, or wounded by the past can shape the experience in ways we didn’t expect. If they’re caught off guard or in control, even a well-intentioned journey can become confusing or overwhelming.

In these 2–3 preparatory sessions, we’ll gently explore your internal landscape. Using simple Internal Family Systems informed approaches, we’ll get to know the voices and feelings that might show up during your experience—and you'll learn how to meet them with curiosity, compassion, and Self-leadership while feeling more grounded and Self-supported during your intentional journey.

Preparation, Integration & Plant Medicine Support in Colorado

Based in Denver, Colorado, I’ve spent over a decade helping people safely explore non-ordinary states of consciousness for the first time.

Together we can:

  • Explore safe microdosing protocols with initial and ongoing consultations. I help you choose strains, assess safety, and tailor effective approaches that evolve with your needs month over month.
  • Learn how to cultivate your own medicine in one-on-one or small group sessions. I teach you how to source strains, inoculate grow bags or tubs, optimize your grow environment, and properly harvest and preserve mushrooms for future micro or macro use.
  • Explore the transformative potential of plant medicine with personalized guidance
  • I’m not a therapist or guide. I don’t ‘facilitate’ anything. That part is yours — the insight, the healing, the transformation.

    Through thoughtful preparation and intention setting, I support you in clarifying what you want to bring into your life

    Think of me as a park ranger — someone who knows the terrain, who helps you orient to where you are, and reconnect with your own intuitive compass. On your terms. At your pace.
