Psychedelics are Powerful Allies for Healing
Personal Evolution
Psychedelics are emerging as a powerful catalyst for personal evolution. So many of us have become disconnected—from ourselves, from each other, and from the natural world. We’re overwhelmed, overstimulated, and often trapped in roles, careers, or relationships that no longer fit. We repeat the same patterns despite all our efforts to “do the work,” and traditional therapy can sometimes feel like it leads nowhere. Psychedelics invite us back to our authentic self, revealing who we were before expectations, conditioning, and culture shaped us. These ancient medicines offer a profound reset—an opportunity to remember, realign, and begin again.
Self-Discovery
Psychedelics have been used throughout history to expand consciousness, accelerate personal growth and facilitate healing and transformation. They remind us of our connection to nature, each other and the universe. These sacred medicines open doors of perception revealing new insights and understanding of who you truly are.
Emotional Healing
Psychedelics promote emotional healing and reconnection. By suppressing the brain's default mode network, rigid thought patterns can be released and reframed, facilitating healing from trauma and spiritual growth.
Treating Anxiety, Depression and Addiction
Psilocybin is being used to help address a variety of mental health issues from treatment resistant depression and anxiety to PTSD and OCD. By facilitating deeper levels of emotional processing and introspection, symptoms can be significantly reduced or eliminated, resulting in a more positive outlook on life. Studies have shown that a psychedelic journey combined with proper integration can also help break the cycle of addiction by addressing the root cause which eliminates cravings.
Releasing Trauma
Psychedelics can provide new perspectives and coping mechanisms that help you heal and recover from trauma. Understanding your triggers and practicing mindfulness can help you regain control of your emotions and lead a more balanced life. Psilocybin helps alleviate the symptoms of PTSD by allowing the body and mind to process and release the stored trauma of past experiences,
End of Life Distress
Psychedelics can provide comfort to those who are dealing with a terminal diagnosis or are in palliative care Psilocybin can help ease the stress and grief surrounding the end of life experience by helping individuals to accept death as a natural transition that does not need to be feared, making their remaining time more meaningful and stress free.
Psychedelic FAQ's
What Medicine Do You Support?
I work exclusively with Psilocybin (aka Magic Mushrooms) and Cannabis. While Psilocybin is still technically illegal, its use is becoming more mainstream, and Vancouver was one of the first Canadian cities to decriminalize its use. Please note I DO NOT promote, provide, procure or prescribe ANY medicine. It is up to the client to source their own medicine, which can readily be procured in local dispensaries or online.
Are Psychedelics Right for Me?
Psychedelics are a powerful tool for transformation, so it's helpful to have done some spiritual exploration first, as opposed to using Psychedelics as your first foray into spirituality. During our Discovery Call we'll discuss the risks and benefits of this medicine, your intent and motivation and what's required preparation-wise to assess your readiness. When you're ready to proceed, we will customize a personalized medicine session tailored to your unique needs.
Who Shouldn't Use Psychedelics?
If you are taking SSRI's or other anti-depressants, or have suspected or diagnosed mental health conditions like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, the use of Psychedelics is not recommended. I encourage everyone to seek the advice of their doctor or therapist prior to considering using any Psychedelic substances.
What Psychedelic Support Do You Provide?
My role is to mentally, physically and spiritually prepare you for your journey; obtain your informed consent acknowledging your understanding of the risks and benefits and your agreement to follow the rules as specified; to hold space for your experience in a compassionate, respectful and non-judgmental manner; to provide assistance and ensure you are safe and comfortable during your journey, and to help support you with the successful integration of your experience afterwards. In other words, I'm with you every step of the way!
Where Does the Journey Take Place?
For your safety and discretion your journey should be held in a private home. A comfortable setting that is uncluttered, private and free from any interruptions or distractions such as family members, pets, or neighbors is extremely important. A quiet, restful place close to nature is ideal, Settings that could trigger you can adversely impact your experience and should be avoided. If you don't have access to a suitable location, consider booking a rental property that meets those requirements as having the proper setting for your journey is just as important as having the right mindset.
Can You Describe the Process?
Preparing for a Psychedelic journey takes time and commitment. The more time you spend preparing for your experience upfront, the better outcome you'll have. I recommend setting aside at least three days to optimize your experience - the first day should be dedicated to getting into the right mindset in preparation for your journey, the second day is for the actual journey itself which typically lasts 4 - 6 hours, and the third day is for processing and integrating your experience while it is still fresh in your mind. If it's possible to take additional time off after your journey, I highly encourage you to do so, as a more gradual transition back to the "real world" is preferable after such an intense experience.
Do You Work with Couples?
Yes, however, I recommend they don't journey at the same time as their partner as these ceremonies are intensely personal, and their partner's presence or reactions can easily detract from their own experience, which can limit the benefits for both parties.
Do You Work with Therapists/Counselors?
Yes, I'm happy to collaborate with care providers who are interested in supporting their client's well-being through the use of natural plant medicines.
What Else Should I Know?
Psychedelics have amazing potential, but they are not a quick fix, so it's important not to have that expectation. The success of your journey largely depends on how well you prepared for your journey and the quality of the integration work you do post-journey.
A Psychedelic journey is not all unicorns and rainbows. Prepare to be challenged, experience difficult moments or uncomfortable emotions.
As a Facilitator and Trip Sitter I am responsible for assisting you and ensuring your safety during the ceremony. I am not a professional psychiatrist, therapist or counselor, but I am happy to collaborate with yours should you wish to have additional support for your journey.
Supportive touch and/or energy healing is available with previous consent on request - no sexual touching of any kind is permitted.
I act in a harm-reduction capacity. Verbal abuse, aggressive behavior towards yourself or others or damaging the journey space will not be tolerated.
I serve clients in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, Canada, however travelling to you may be an option.
Should you decide to book a journey after our Discovery Call, you will be asked to complete a screening form as part of the intake process, as well as a waiver prior to your journey.
A non-refundable deposit of $500 is required at the time of booking, with the balance due prior to your journey.
Your privacy is important - your personal information and our conversations are confidential and will not be shared with anyone.
I'm Interested - What's Next?
Let's chat! Book a free Discovery Call with me to determine if you're a good candidate for a Psychedelic journey, and to see if we're a good fit for each other. Establishing trust and rapport with your guide prior to your ceremony is an important element of a successful experience, Having a strong connection will help you feel more secure and comfortable during your journey, and will result in a better outcome.
Hi, I'm Bonita!
About Me
I'm a Psychedelic advocate, educator and guide who believes everyone deserves a safe, informed and accessible pathway to working with natural plant medicines.
I started exploring Psychedelics after watching Dosed, a documentary about how Psychedelics were able to help people come to terms with their mortality after receiving a terminal diagnosis and minimize their end of life distress. Seeing the transformation from fear of death to acceptance and peace was profoundly moving and lead me to explore the various other benefits this medicine has to offer. After two years of study and preparation, i had my first Psilocybin journey, which was truly transformative. That experience lead me to expand my healing practice to include the use of sacred plant medicines, due to their efficacy and potential to effect lasting healing and transformation. I have found that using Energy Healing in conjunction with Sacred Plant Medicines adds another level of support for a truly powerful, transcendent and transformative healing experience for my clients.
Our Mission
At Psychedoula, our mission is to prepare, educate, and support individuals who feel called to explore psychedelics for personal growth, healing, and transformation. Each journey is held with deep care, professionalism, and respect. We are committed to creating a safe, compassionate space where exploration, insight, and healing can unfold.
Psychedelic Education
I am a certified Psychedelic Trip Sitter, and Facilitator of Sacred Plant Medicine journeys. I have also studied numerous energy and frequency healing modalities and am a Level III Therapeutic Touch Practitioner and Reiki Master. I also utilize breathwork, IFS and other coaching methods and strategies specific to psychedelic integration.
I am a member of MAPS, and the Psychedelic Association of Canada, and am a strong advocate of legalizing Psychedelics to heal ourselves, humanity and the planet during this time of transformation. I'm passionate about helping people using natural healing methods. and believe that everyone has an inherent ability to heal themselves. I believe natural plant medicines are a spiritual tool that should be readily accessible to everyone, especially given the current mental health crisis we find ourselves in. Unfortunately because Psychedelics are still currently illegal in many areas, people who don't have the resources to travel to a retreat or the patience to wait until this medicine is legally accessible are choosing to use Psychedelics on their own instead. The importance of having a qualified guide to help navigate this medicine cannot be overstated, as this is powerful medicine and is not the type of experience that should be done alone. That's why I created Psychedoula - to provide the education, harm reduction strategies and integration support to ensure your experience is safe and meaningful,
My Ideal Client
Is spiritually aware, and open minded. They have done the work, but feel "stuck" in their personal evolution. They don't need a Shaman or a shrink, and are looking for someone to help them experience psychedelics in a safe, meaningful and supportive manner.
