Caleb has spent the last 13 years in acute clinical care, working within some of the country’s leading hospital systems. Concurrently, he has spent the past decade working with plant medicine retreat centers.
Drawing from his experience across both clinical and plant medicine settings, Caleb has utilized holistic coaching, Internal Family Systems, and goal-directed change to develop preparation and integration models for people both inside and outside of medicine journeys, supporting meaningful transitions and lasting change.
Working across these two worlds has shown Caleb that some of the most important work in healing and evolution happens through a holistic lens. He believes that psilocybin can offer a paradigm shift—one that can support people in moving toward a fuller, healthier, and more integrated life.
Caleb’s focus is working with people who are ready for change: people who want to do the work, not simply have the experience, and who are willing to meet real change with real effort.

A lifetime of relentless inner deep dives into her own psyche and soul ignited Janet’s passion to
serve other seekers. This path of soulful growth and evolution led to over 15 years within the
mental health field. And after finally experiencing her first psilocybin journey, Janet knew she
had to help people experience their own healing journeys.
As an African American, Janet’s personal psilocybin journeys led to healing a lifelong core
wound deeply rooted in generational trauma she didn’t even know she had. And a recent
journey re-connected her with African ancestors, feeling their welcoming presence encouraging
her to forge this healing path.
Perhaps you’re feeling stuck in life, tired of the same old dead-end cycles? Or you’re ready to
explore ignored, abandoned parts of you…the deepest parts of your soul? Psilocybin disrupts
those outworn cycles, allowing new ways of thinking and behaving. And with that opening,
Janet helps clients connect more deeply with their own inner wisdom.
Intuitive, empathetic listening/witnessing allow Janet to authentically connect with a wide
diversity of races, colors, genders, and cultures. As a facilitator, Janet is honored to hold sacred
space to experience your own deep healing, allowing the freedom to BE the powerful, uniquely
gifted being you truly are.

Dr. Ali is a psilocybin facilitator, naturopathic physician, herbalist, wife, mother, and perennial student of the living world. For more than twenty-five years, she has accompanied people through seasons of healing, transformation, and becoming—holding space for the profound transitions and initiations that shape a human life.
Her work is rooted in the understanding that much of our suffering arises from disconnection—from ourselves, from community, from meaning, and from the living world itself. She approaches psychedelic work as an invitation into deeper relationship with ourselves and with Life around us, experiences that foster new perspectives, illuminate parts of ourselves, and reconnect us to the larger story in which our lives are embedded.
Ali enjoys working with people from all walks of life and has experience supporting medical professionals, first responders, and firefighters. She also feels a special affinity for those navigating “threshold” moments—parenthood, the menopausal transition, career changes, grief, empty nesting, aging, and existential and end-of-life concerns.
She believes healing unfolds in the presence of safety, trust, and genuine human connection. Clients describe her presence as calm, grounding, and compassionate. Rooted in reverence for the natural world, Ali’s work is inspired by aninvitation to remember our belonging—to ourselves, to one another, and to the larger web of life that sustains us.

Clement Wilson, LCSW (he/him) is a clinical social worker, individual and group psilocybin facilitator, and integrative therapist. Guided by love, creativity, and a deep trust in each person’s innate capacity for healing, his approach is relational, body-based, and grounded in the belief that growth unfolds through our interconnected relationships with self, others, nature, and the stories and lineages we carry. As a queer and transgender man, he brings a lived understanding of liminality, fluid identity, and the journey from disconnection toward greater connection with the body and self. He welcomes complexity, resists binary thinking, and embraces expansive ways of being.
Clement holds deep reverence for psilocybin mushrooms as living teachers with ancient ties to Earth-based and Indigenous traditions, and approaches this work with humility, reciprocity, and a commitment to honoring the sacred legacy of the medicine and the communities that have long stewarded it. His areas of focus include working with those experiencing complex or persistent depression, developmental trauma, anxiety, burnout, spiritual and existential exploration, major life transitions, queer and trans identity development, and challenging relational dynamics, including over-responsibility, difficulty expressing needs, and feeling disconnected from one’s inner voice.

Missy was thrust into meditation in 2009 when chronic pain gifted her the opportunity to look more deeply at life in an existential way. What felt like a betrayal of the body ultimately led to the discovery that our bodies are not in the way, they are the way.
What followed was a deeper unraveling as old beliefs and identities fell away, allowing for a new way of being to emerge. This process of dying and becoming is the transition Missy supports her clients through today: learning to hear their own voice and trust what is emerging.
Her work holds the seeming opposites of being human: movement and stillness, holding on and letting go, grief and joy, death and birth. She believes insight is only the beginning, and that transformation happens as we cultivate the capacities and skills that allow us to live from this new way of being. And while this work can take us into deep places, it doesn’t always have to be heavy. Gentleness, curiosity, and play are essential parts of discovering what else is possible.

Laurent is an Oregon-licensed psilocybin facilitator, who served his community as a firefighter/paramedic with Portland Fire; Rescue for 30 years. For two decades, he was also a member of PF&R’s peer support team, offering guidance and care to colleagues navigating personal and professional challenges.
Laurent’s own healing journey with psilocybin has been life changing. After many years of carrying the emotional weight of emergency service work and also contending with sometimes debilitating mental health challenges, psilocybin allowed him to access a level of peace, healing, and joy that once felt out of reach. That experience deepened his commitment to supporting others in finding their own pathways to restoration and wholeness.
Laurent is also a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, bringing both heart and skill to his work. He draws on somatic techniques to help clients prepare for their sessions and to gently integrate insights afterward—bridging mind, body, and nervous system in the process.
Laurent’s background blends academic rigor with decades of real-world experience. He holds a B.A. from Cornell University, completed his paramedic certification at the State University of New York, and earned his Psilocybin Facilitator Certification through InnerTrek.

Amanda is a mother, nature-lover, dreamer, grief tender, death doula, and massage therapist with over 22 years of immersion in the healing arts.
Her path into this work was shaped through profound loss, trauma, and a near-death experience that unraveled the life she once knew and initiated her into a deep apprenticeship with grief and a long journey of healing.
Psilocybin helped Amanda reconnect with joy, vibrancy, meaning, and parts of herself that grief had buried.
Years of personal work with psilocybin, guidance from wise mentors, and training through InnerTrek as part of the first cohort of licensed facilitators in Oregon offered varied perspectives and training balanced in both science and the sacred.
Her approach is rooted in holistic, nature-based, somatic practices and introspective exploration. Amanda offers clients her grounded presence, compassion, and gentle curiosity to thoughtfully tend to their experience with nurturing, open-minded support so they can feel safe, seen, and cared for while journeying through their inner landscape.

Amanda brings over 30 years of personal exploration in expanded states of consciousness, blending her background in Anthropology with a heart-centered approach and deep respect for the ancient wisdom held within Indigenous ceremonial medicine traditions. She completed her facilitation training with InnerTrek in 2023.
Her practice is rooted in the science of neuroplasticity and the belief that growth, learning, and lasting change are possible at every stage of life. Her experience bridges wellness modalities, the arts, and the corporate world. Along with her facilitation license, Amanda is trained in Somatic Experiencing (SE), aromatherapy, and Usui Reiki. She draws upon these modalities to help regulate the nervous system and create a safe space where the body can gently process and release trauma, moving beyond survival mode toward greater resilience and ease.
For Amanda, plant medicine has been a vital gateway to wellness, insight, and restoration. Her most challenging seasons have also been her greatest teachers—from caring for a parent with Alzheimer's disease in hospice and supporting her partner through cancer treatment, to navigating the transformative path of motherhood.
Together, these lived experiences inspire an attuned and intuitive facilitation style, grounded in warmth and humor. Amanda believes healing is not about fixing what is broken, but about reclaiming your innate wholeness. Whether you are navigating burnout, processing grief or trauma, coping with anxiety or depression, or simply seeking a deeper connection, she meets you exactly where you are. Together, you will build a relationship rooted in trust, compassion, and curiosity—creating a safe space to explore your inner landscape and reconnect with your most authentic self.
Outside of her practice, Amanda can be found spending time with her family and two dogs, reading, beachcombing, paddleboarding, or making art.
