Expanded States & Integration

From mystical insight to embodied living.
Many people touch profound states—through ceremony, meditation, dreams, breathwork, or spontaneous openings. My role is to help you translate those experiences into daily life with care. I blend Internal Family Systems (Level 3), Somatic Coaching, Effortless Mindfulness, and Shamanic Parts Work™ to support meaning-making, nervous-system steadiness, and ethical spiritual hygiene.

What this work is

This is integration and support—not facilitation. Together we bridge non-ordinary reality with ordinary life: relationships, leadership, creativity, boundaries, and devotion. We go slow, protect consent, and honor your inner authority.

Who this is for

  • “I had a powerful journey and feel tender or ungrounded.”

  • “I met a guide and want to relate safely.”

  • “Something feels foreign in me and won’t shift.”

  • “Dreams/visitations keep returning.”

  • “I want to honor an experience without bypassing my body.”

  • “I need language, ethics, and pacing.”

What we can explore

  • Psychedelic integration (afterglow, confusion, insights → actions)

  • Shamanic journeying, dreamwork, liminal experiences

  • Unattached Burdens (intrusive energies) & energetic boundaries

  • Guides/Allies: discernment, consent, right-relationship

  • Parts activation, protectors, and exiles revealed in altered states

  • Spiritual emergency vs. emergence; resourcing and containment

  • Ritual closure, grief, vows, and re-entry

The arc of our work

Phase 1 — Stabilize & Resource

Somatic settling, consent, scope, and goals. We build enough safety to be curious.

Phase 2 — Discern & Map

IFS mapping to distinguish your own parts from unattached burdens; gentle tests for true Guides; clear boundaries in plain, practical language.

Phase 3 — Integrate & Live

Release or renegotiate what’s not you; formalize relationship with allies; anchor practices and commitments in body, relationships, creativity, and service.

Unattached Burdens & Guides

Unattached Burdens (intrusive energies): In IFS, some phenomena don’t originate from your own parts. Signs may include “this feels other,” sticky loops, or sudden shifts unlike your typical patterns. We proceed gently: stabilize, test for belonging, invite non-coercive release, and restore boundaries—always consent-based.

Guides & Allies: Benevolent intelligences sometimes appear. We practice discernment (coherence, kindness, non-urgency), create clear agreements (consent, timing, purpose), and translate guidance into embodied, ethical action.

Why together? Expanded states often surface both intrusions and support. We help your system distinguish, relate wisely, and choose freedom with integrity.

Modalities I draw on

  • Internal Family Systems (Level 3) — precise, compassionate inner mapping.

  • Somatic Coaching — titration, orienting, nervous-system literacy.

  • Shamanic Parts Work™ — relational work with the imaginal, rooted in respect.

  • Effortless Mindfulness — direct glimpses of Self energy (awake, embodied, kind).

  • Dreamwork & Ritual — integrating the symbolic into everyday choices.

Why this works (the science)

We pair felt safety with precise “mismatch” experiences so your nervous system can update old emotional learnings (memory reconsolidation). Interpersonal neurobiology guides how body, emotion, and meaning integrate—so insights from non-ordinary states become lasting, embodied change in ordinary life.

FAQs

  • No. I offer integration and education only and do not provide, supply, or refer for illegal substances.

  • This is coaching/education. If you need clinical care, I’ll suggest appropriate resources.

  • No. We work with your direct experience in client-led language.

  • Both, as available.

  • We go slow, resource first, test gently, and prioritize choice and consent.

  • A single session for acute integration; 6 for deeper patterns.

  • Respectful, non-dogmatic, lineage-honoring.

Ethics & cultural respect

Consent, humility, non-appropriation, do-no-harm, and client sovereignty guide this work. Integration is not a substitute for medical or psychiatric care. I honor the lineages that inform my practice and work within a clear scope.
