Guidance & Support

How can we help?

We provide confidential support and holistic guidance to anyone using psychedelics. We are not therapists and this is not therapy.

However, if you need:

  • Support and guidance with microdosing psychedelics

  • Support and guidance preparing for or integrating a psychedelic experience

  • Support and guidance navigating a spiritual emergency occasioned by psychedelics

  • Answers about whether psychedelics, medicine ceremony, or psychedelic therapy is right for you or your loved one

  • Answers about psychedelic science, law, traditional or shamanic use, clinics, retreats, therapists, guides, etc

  • Assistance vetting or choosing a psychedelic retreat, clinic, guide, therapist, shaman, substance…

Our approach to supporting and guiding you is rooted in our philosophy, and an understanding that healing and growth with psychedelics is a multidimensional process that ripples into our respective communities. Although psychedelic integration can be guided, we trust that the process is led first and foremost by you. We encourage self-responsibility and honour sovereignty while sharing from our experience and wisdom. We do not impose our personal beliefs and worldviews onto you, and instead, focus on facilitating your process of self-discovery, personal and spiritual growth, and healing through intentional inquiry.

Keep in mind, we are not therapists and this is not therapy.

Sessions are charged on a sliding scale with a minimum of $60/hr.

  • Louis helped me through a spiritual crisis caused by psychedelics. Lou's support and guidance towards integration of the experience was very practical and effective in helping me come back to myself.

    Michael - Software Developer

  • Working with the Psygaia team was awesome. Louis brings a very natural and grounded approach to psychedelics. Not overly woowoo or overly scientific and dry. Rooted in nature and respect for the medicines. Exactly the type of guidance I was looking for!

    Tara - Highschool Teacher

  • Louis naturally breathes and embodies a presence of deep peace. The breathwork sessions we did together were life changing. A combination of a crystal clear intuition and skillful guidance made me feel safe and held, allowing for a frozen part of me, stuck and hidden in time to open and melt with great lightness and ease. Highly recommended.
