Glenda Hoon Russell
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 Together, we will become more aware of and unlearn outdated conditioned patterns.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.
I recently received coaching from Glenda to help with a soft addiction I haven’t been able to kick. Glenda brought a beautiful friendly and open energy to our sessions, and that energy was contagious. Glenda was able to hold space for me when difficult emotions arose. She is gentle and present. Glenda helped me work through these emotions and identify some deeper issues. She was very good at seeing when I needed help to calm myself down and could gently guide me to a more at ease state. By the end of each session, I felt grounded and wasn’t left disregulated. I was very grateful for that. Thank you Glenda for your support and open heart during those moments. The experience of feeling seen, heard and understood is very powerful and Glenda does this well. She helped me to decipher some loops I’ve been stuck in recently, and enabled me to see things I was constantly returning to and helped me work on why that might be. It was an invaluable experience, I’m grateful I found my way to the understandings of myself I gained through this coaching. There were some baby steps made and some realizations that touched me deeply and have helped me change some habits which remain changed 10 weeks later. Thank you, Glenda; I appreciate your time and the energy you put into our sessions, even after a long day of work.

I worked with Glenda before and after a psilocybin ceremony. During our first prep call together, Glenda asked me what I needed from her - I gave her my answer and she provided that for me during each and every one of our sessions. She made me feel heard, supported, and safe while opening up to her about my life, and she often asked me questions that expanded my way of thinking. I felt very prepared for my ceremony, and afterward, I was looking forward to talking with her about it. She was excited for me and I could feel she only wanted the best for me. Afterwards, during our integration calls, I was impressed with the questions she asked me. I was able to dive deeper into my experience and get a better understanding of what it all meant. Every one of our hour-long calls flew by, and I felt like we made great progress together. I am thankful to have worked with Glenda, and I will definitely ask to work with her again in the future.

I recently had the opportunity to work with Glenda over the course of 6 weeks as I worked through some midlife changes. She helped me integrate some minor health issues and work through my relationship with cannabis. Glenda's coaching style is very approachable and welcoming and she exhibits patience and professionalism. I am truly grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Glenda and I highly recommend her as a coach.
