Hi, I’m Angela.

My path hasn’t been linear… it’s been layered, raw, and deeply human. For many years, I lived in ways that looked “successful” on the outside but left me feeling disconnected and quietly unfulfilled. Like many, I spent a long time seeking validation, chasing what I thought would bring happiness, and ignoring the quiet voice within that knew something wasn’t right.

That began to shift in 2005, when I attended a 10-day Vipassana meditation retreat and committed to a personal yoga practice. For the first time, I started listening to my body — and I began to remember who I really was.

But it wasn’t until I started working intentionally with psychedelics and other entheogens that the deeper layers of healing began to unfold. These experiences allowed me to face long-held trauma, dissolve old identities, and reconnect with the truth I had buried under years of conditioning.

My first psychedelic journey cracked something open in me. I saw the life I was living and the parts of myself I had left behind. They helped me meet old trauma, soften my grip on who I thought I had to be, and come back to the parts of me I’d lost along the way.

Over the years, I’ve trained in yoga, somatic therapy, nonviolent communication, and transformational coaching. But more than that, I’ve lived this work. I’ve sat in the discomfort and learned how to hold myself. And now, I hold space for others doing the same.

My approach is trauma-informed, intuitive, and deeply human. I work with clients who are ready to meet themselves more honestly, whether through microdosing, integrating a high-dose psychedelic journey, or transformational coaching. This work is about returning to yourself, again and again, with compassion and truth.

If you feel the pull to explore this path, I’d be honored to walk alongside you!
