Testimonials

Working with Jake was truly wonderful. He helped me understand how important my prep period was and offered suggestions for podcasts, books and lifestyle choices that contributed to my experience in a big way. Our prep phone calls provided clarity, built rapport, and helped me feel prepared for what would be a magnificent journey experience.

The day of the journey, Jake created a perfect environment to help me feel safe, supported and to give it the ceremonial importance that my journey needed. I was humbled by his sensitive and genuine attention and care that he gave to me throughout the entire process.

My journey was amazing. It was one of the most spiritual and enlightening experiences that I have had in my lifetime. Jake was aware and considerate in providing the support and guidance that contributed beautifully to my journey experience. From the music, to his healing presence, to his shamanic guidance, he gently “carried” me throughout the beautiful journey that I was gifted to have.

I can’t wait to continue to work with Jake in the future and will ever be so grateful to be introduced to the incredible world of psychedelic journeys!

For the past few years I have been excited about the potential of psilocybin therapy, but an intense fear of what might happen or what might go wrong has always held me back. That is, until I met Jake.

He was able to meet me where I was and mitigate my fears going into the ceremony both by calmly and knowledgeably answering all of my questions and concerns and by providing me with incredibly helpful tips to ensure that I was going into the trip as prepared as possible. He was wonderful in helping me build the courage leading up to the ceremony, and was as, if not more, wonderful during the ceremony itself. He has a wonderful ability to make you feel that he is there for you without imposing himself on the experience. He intuitively knows when to give you space and when to provide guidance.

I am immeasurably grateful to have met Jake and to have received his stewardship through what is the single most positively influential experience of my life.

I’ve dealt with anxiety and depression for as long as I can remember, but after leaving an abusive marriage I needed a radical change and I had seen positive benefits with a few of my girlfriends. I had experimented with psychedelics in college, but never with therapeutic intent and never with the emotional baggage I felt I was carrying.

Going in, I was really quite hesitant about working with a man, but my initial conversation with Jake alleviated those concerns. He was so kind, gentle, patient, and made me feel seen and safe. He held my hand, figuratively and emotionally, through the entire process and really helped me to interpret the journey with wisdom beyond his years. I feel so much lighter, unburdened of a lot of the emotional baggage I had been carrying, and more in touch with ‘me’ than I have ever been. I am eternally grateful to Jake for guiding me on my journey back to ‘me’.

I am a 65 year old man who has been getting more and more intrigued about trying mushrooms after watching the documentary “Fantastic Fungi” featuring Paul Stamets and others. I watched that video several times and bought some books on the subject.

I have to tell you I was a little nervous calling Jake for an introduction with him, since he’s half my age, but he immediately put me at ease. He was so good at listening to my feelings and concerns, and in giving suggestions and advice. The day of the ceremony was wonderful. I had never felt so safe during my ceremony, as Jake was with me the whole time and wrote a great set of notes while I’ll occasionally talked to him about what I was seeing or feeling during my experience.
If you are thinking about doing the experience, don’t wait as it has definitely changed how I look at life and relationships!

I've struggled with anxiety and depression for many years. Longer than I ever could have imagined. And not for the lack of trying, as I have seen psychiatrists, psychologists, as well as been on multiple antidepressants. My depression stems from traumatic experiences in my personal life, all matters that have been beyond my control. It has left me feeling as though I am not in control of my own life, my own destiny. As a result, I had forgotten how to be a friend to myself, and rather shifted all my focus to the sources of my pain. Reaching a breaking point, and not receiving the help I needed from my aforementioned treatments, I was introduced to psychedelic medicine.

When I tell you I am the last person you’d expect to take this route, you can unquestionably believe it. But I was referred to Jake, and I am forever grateful for it. It wasn’t only that Jake took the time to learn what I was hoping to gain from this experience, but he was the kind of calming and capable presence you could only wish to have by your side. His 3 stages of the process (prep, ceremony, & integration) each left me feeling safe, understood, and most importantly, on the path to a healthier life.

The result of my journey is that I’ve gained control over the kind of life I want to live and feel I deserve to live, more so than ever before. I’ve learned there is nothing wrong in placing more focus on yourself, which by consequence can enrich your life and those who matter most to you. While Jake may have just simply been doing his job, and exceptionally I may add, he will always hold a special place in my heart for helping me get my life back on track.
