About this Retreat
Your Guides
My work is grounded in the understanding that real change happens in the in-between places—the transitional spaces where something old is falling away and something new is emerging. This perspective, shaped by my psychoanalytic roots and years of sitting with people in their most vulnerable and expansive moments, guides the way I hold space in retreat and integration settings. I create environments where people feel safe enough to open, supported enough to explore, and encouraged enough to trust their own inner wisdom.
As the Managing Director of Awaken Within, I bring over two decades of experience supporting people through psychological, emotional, and spiritual transformation. My path weaves together a Master’s Degree in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, advanced coaching training, NLP certification, and specialized education in psychedelic facilitation through the Synthesis Psychedelic Practitioner Core Training and the Synthesis–Beckley Practicum.
Awaken Within grew out of my lifelong commitment to guiding others through profound experiences with care, clarity, and grounded presence. Whether someone arrives at a retreat seeking healing, insight, or a renewed sense of self, my intention is always the same: to meet them with attunement, warmth, and the steady support needed to walk a meaningful path of integration and growth.
