Psychedelic Guidance & Integration Coaching

Explore psychedelics with holistic support.

Psychedelics can be powerful tools for discovery, healing, and growth—but navigating these experiences can feel overwhelming, especially without proper support. That's where we come in.

We offer confidential and holistic guidance and support for anyone seeking to or already exploring psychedelics intentionally. Whether you're looking to prepare for a healing journey, make sense of an experience, or explore microdosing, our multidisciplinary team of experts is here to provide support every step of the way.

While our services are not therapy and we are not therapists—we offer compassionate, informed, and professional guidance rooted in a combination of our academic research, personal practice with meditation, yoga, philosophy, shamanic lineage and exploration of psychedelics. Our goal is to help you navigate psychedelics, gain the insights you seek and properly integrate them into your life.

Psychedelic Integration

How we can support you:

  • Microdosing guidance: Learn to microdose safely and mindfully.

  • Preparation and integration coaching: Get personalized support to prepare for your upcoming journey or to integrate lessons, visions, insights, and emotions after your psychedelic experience.

  • Navigating a spiritual emergency: If you're feeling overwhelmed after a challenging or powerful spiritual experience, we’re here to help you stay grounded, find meaning, and move forward with compassion, resilience and courage.

  • Getting started: Not sure if psychedelics, a specific ceremony, or psychedelic therapy is right for you or your loved one? We’ll help you navigate your options with clarity and care.

  • Expert and holistic knowledge: Tap into our extensive and holistic knowledge of psychedelic science, legal frameworks, traditional and shamanic use, clinics, retreats, and qualified therapists or guides.

  • Contraindications and safety: Get help navigating potential pharmaceutical interactions or health considerations related to psychedelic use.

  • Vetting and choosing: Whether you’re considering a retreat, clinic, or specific facilitator, we can guide you to make the most informed decision for your journey.

Why work with Psygaia?

  • Deep expertise: Our team brings together insights from modern science, indigenous practices, and lived experience. We understand these journeys deeply and are committed to supporting you with integrity and compassion.

  • Holistic approach: We don’t just focus on the psychedelic experience itself—we help you connect the dots between your intentions, experience, and real-life healing and growth.

  • Personalized support: Every journey is unique, and our coaching reflects that. You’ll receive one-on-one support that’s fully tailored to your needs, aspirations, and concerns.

  • Judgment-free space: We honour your path, and we're here to listen. Whatever your questions, goals, or hesitations, you can feel confident knowing that our conversations are safe, confidential, and rooted in compassion.

Our approach is rooted in our philosophy and understanding that the psychedelic journey is multidimensional, with ripples that reach far beyond ourselves. While we guide and facilitate integration, we encourage self-responsibility, honouring your sovereignty. Our role is not to impose beliefs but to support your unique journey of discovery, growth, and healing through intentional inquiry.

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

  • The hour-long consultation with a Psygaia team member before my journey proved incredibly helpful. It left me as prepared as possible to take the leap and as a result I had the most meaningful psychedelic experience of my life. Among the most useful parts of the consultation was learning a new breathing practice that allowed me to stay grounded throughout the journey. Going forward, that practice has become a pillar of my daily life. I would definitely recommend Psygaia to anyone interested in doing transformative inner work.

  • When I first met Louis, his openness and confident vulnerability drew me in. After doing breathwork with him, I saw that guiding others was his true calling. This made me trust him completely for my psychedelic journey. Louis’s peaceful demeanor was calming, and I felt a deep sense of safety with him. As an experienced explorer, I wanted Louis to help enhance and deepen my experience in an integrative way. Our conversations during and after my journey have lightened my path, reducing shame and revealing a core value of compassion. His knowledge of Buddhism, yoga and nature-based traditions has deepened my spiritual practice, teaching me gentleness towards myself. I am deeply grateful to Louis for his guidance and support along my psychedelic journey.

    Chris - Father

  • Louis helped me process and integrate a spiritual crisis caused by psychedelics. His 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 my type of guidance.

    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.
