FAQ'S
About the Program
-
How does the program work?
Working with Level Up Journeys is a supportive, guided, and deeply personalized experience.
Over 8 months, you’ll move through four pillars of transformation—Mind, Body, Heart, and Spirit—supported by bi-weekly online individual coaching, and bi-weekly online group workshops with like-minded women.
- Group online workshops are 1.5 hours long and are held on Tuesdays from 5:00 to 6:30 pm PST.
- Individual online coaching sessions are scheduled for either Mondays or Thursdays (between 2 pm & 6 pm PST).
You’ll also have the option of a guided psychedelic experience for those who are medically and emotionally prepared.
This takes place in British Columbia and is a 2-day experience that includes preparation and the medicine journey. Travel to and from BC is at your own expense.
-
How is this different from a retreat or workshop?
Many retreats provide a beautiful experience but little follow-up.
Our program is an 8-month journey—long enough to create real, lasting change. You’ll not only have your breakthroughs, but you’ll also receive the integration, coaching, and support needed to bring those breakthroughs into your daily life.
This isn’t about a single peak moment—it’s about a new way of being.

-
Who don't you work with?
If you have ever experienced or been diagnosed with schizophrenia, bi-polar or have had a psychotic incident in the past, psychedelics are not a good choice. In this case, I would recommend Ketamine therapy.
Additionally, if I feel that your level of trauma or circumstances is beyond my scope to deal with as a coach, I am happy to refer you to a psychedelic therapist who can offer greater support.
-
How much time will I need to commit?
Expect to dedicate around 3–5 hours per week, which includes coaching sessions, group calls, and personal practices. The program is designed to fit into a busy woman’s life, while still giving enough structure to create real transformation.
About Psychedelics
-
Do I have to do a medicine journey to participate?
No. While the guided psychedelic experience is a powerful catalyst for many, it’s not required to benefit from this program. Every element—coaching, neuroscience-based tools, spiritual practices, and community support—is designed to create transformation on its own.
If you’re not ready or eligible for a medicine journey, you’ll still experience meaningful breakthroughs and lasting change.

How is a psychedelic experience different than normal talk therapy?
A psychedelic experience can differ from normal talk therapy in its intensity and depth of introspection. While talk therapy often relies on verbal communication and cognitive processes, a psychedelic journey can lead to profound insights through altered states of consciousness, potentially revealing underlying patterns and emotions in a more visceral way. Additionally, the therapeutic effects of psychedelics may extend beyond the duration of the experience, promoting long-lasting changes in perception and behavior.
I frequently liken a medicine journey to the equivalent of 10 years of talk therapy, given its ability to delve into deeper, more spiritual realms beyond the confines of conscious thought.

How is a medicine journey different than doing mushrooms recreationally?
When you're just chilling and taking mushrooms for fun, it's often about having a good time, feeling the vibes, maybe seeing some cool visuals, and getting lost in the music. It's like floating down a lazy river on a sunny day, just enjoying the ride.
Embarking on a medicine journey brings a whole new level of preparation and intention-setting. Countless conversations have been had to guide you in crafting your intentions for the journey. Discussions about past traumas that might need healing have been deeply explored, and you've delved into several introspective worksheets to pave the way for inner exploration.
With a trip sitter, you can let go even more. You know someone's got your back if things get a bit intense. It's like having a safety net for your soul. Plus, having that extra support can open up new avenues of exploration. You might feel more comfortable diving deep into your psyche, knowing you're not alone in the cosmic sea.
And let's not forget the debrief. After the medicine journey, you have someone to talk to about all the mind-bending revelations you experienced. It's like unpacking your bags after a wild journey and sharing stories around the campfire. This is an integral part of the experience.
-
Why do you refer to it a 'medicine journey'?
Psychedelics are considered medicine and referred to as a "medicine journey" due to their potential therapeutic benefits in facilitating profound psychological insights and healing.
When used in a supportive and intentional setting, psychedelics such as psilocybin, and MDMA have shown promising results in treating various mental health conditions like depression, PTSD, and addiction. The term "medicine journey" emphasizes the intentional and therapeutic use of psychedelics, highlighting their capacity to promote healing, personal growth, and spiritual exploration when approached with respect and reverence.
-
I am afraid of doing a trip. Is this normal?
Feeling some fear or anxiousness going into a medicine journey is completely normal.
Usual fears associated with a psychedelic experience often include anxiety about losing control, confronting suppressed emotions, or encountering overwhelming visuals. These fears can be overcome by cultivating trust in the process, preparing with a trusted guide, and practicing mindfulness techniques to navigate challenging moments with acceptance and curiosity. -
