This is healing at the pace of safety.

Glenda Hoon Russell, Trauma-Informed Somatic Coach
I work with people who are navigating big life transitions—whether through psychedelics, grief, spiritual awakening, or a deep call to come home to themselves.
If you're craving grounded, somatic support on your integration journey, you're in the right place.
I am here to help you change your relationship with escaping, rediscover your needs and wants, discuss personal and sensitive topics, and make a lasting impact on your psychedelic journey. This journey may involve using psychedelics in a safe and therapeutic setting to facilitate deep introspection and personal/spiritual growth. I have guided many people through their transformation process and spiritual awakening journey through psychospiritual coaching and leading healing circles in nature.
But I wasn't always on this path; I used to live with a different operating system. I was a master chameleon and could fit in easily in every situation. I was the good girl, the churchgoer, the stoic businesswoman, the reliable drinking buddy, and the low maintenance one. When the reality was that I was drowning in depression and anxiety, used alcohol, cannabis, and workaholism to escape feeling anything, was disconnected from a higher power, was a raging people pleaser, a secret bulimic, and most importantly, I had no idea who I was.
It wasn't until I was a caregiver for my aging parents and then lost both of them that I began to question everything. It wasn't until I communed with plant medicine that my life shifted. It was when I deeply integrated the challenging lessons from the sacred ceremonies that I stepped into a new way of being. This journey of self-discovery, transformation, and personal responsibility led me to where I am today, ready to guide you on your path.
As a certified Psychospiritual and Entheogenic Integration Coach and a Nature Therapy Guide, I bring a unique blend of modalities to the table. I weave these modalities with my exposure to heart-centered communication, shamanism, radical honesty, and herbalism to support your psychedelic journey or significant life transitions.
My mission is to help you remember your true self by exploring parts work, nature therapies, inner-child work, and mindfulness practices. Together, we will become more aware of and unlearn outdated conditioned patterns. This process involves identifying and challenging beliefs and behaviors that no longer serve you while learning to accept where you are in this moment. We will use somatic techniques to deepen your relationship with your emotions to feel, release, and understand the language of your body. As we unravel old patterns, we relearn new patterns and ways of being that liberate you to connect with your truth and create long-term behaviors that align with what matters most to you.
If this resonates with you, I'd be honored to be a part of your journey.
My Approach: Body-Based, Compassion-Forward Coaching
These aren’t one-size-fits-all tools.
They’re practices we tailor together—based on what your system can hold and what you’re ready for. All of these approaches are rooted in nervous system awareness and deep respect for your lived experience.
My work draws from:
- Somatic coaching - Learn to feel and interpret your body’s signals so you can respond instead of react.
- IFS-inspired parts work - Understand and compassionately work with the inner parts of you that may be stuck in old roles.
- Nature therapy & eco-somatic practices - Reconnect with your sense of belonging through nature-based reflection and grounding.
- Psychedelic integration support - Gently weave insights from plant medicine or sacred experiences into your everyday life.
- Mindfulness & breathwork - Simple, accessible practices to help calm your mind and regulate your nervous system.
- Inner child connection - Build a nurturing relationship with the younger parts of you that learned to survive by people-pleasing, over-functioning, or numbing.
Is This Work for You?
This coaching is for you if you’re ready to shift from survival mode to deeper self-connection.
You don’t have to do it all alone anymore. Together, we’ll gently explore your patterns and create space for something new.
You might resonate if:
- You’ve outgrown the role of the helper, fixer, or peacekeeper—and want to reconnect with your own needs.
- You’re highly sensitive or emotionally intuitive, but often feel overwhelmed or shut down.
- You’ve tried talk therapy or self-help—but you’re craving something more body-based and experiential.
- You’re drawn to personal growth, psychedelic integration, or spiritual healing—but want grounded support.
- You’re ready to set boundaries, feel your emotions, and trust your inner voice—without guilt or second-guessing.
