I am a certified personal trainer and group fitness instructor deeply invested in helping my clients cultivate a love for moving their bodies. As a psychedelic integration coach I offer one-on-one integration sessions for people seeking personalized support on their psychedelic journeys.
Prior to becoming a trainer and coach, I was a freelance journalist for ten years. My byline has appeared in The New York Times, Forbes, Lucid News, Healing Maps, Daily Om, Vice, Leafly, The Dales Report, Calgary Herald, and The Georgia Straight (where I received national and regional awards for my work), among many others. I was also the longtime host of the podcast Ibogaine Uncovered.
I’ve written two books about cannabis and psychedelic drugs. My first book, The Little Book of Cannabis: How Marijuana Can Improve Your Life, was published by Greystone Books in 2018 on the same day cannabis was legalized in Canada. In 2019, the Canadian bestseller was named the #1-selling non-fiction cannabis book in the country. In my second book, Psyched: 7 Cutting-Edge Psychedelics Changing The World (2022), I break down the history, science, and cultural and medical uses of seven different psychedelic drugs and plant medicines, contextualized with case studies and interviews with scientists, doctors, therapists, advocates, ethnobotanists and practitioners. I also write a Substack called A to Z of Altered States.
In 2022, I received a Cosmic Sister Emerging Voices Award and was awarded Reporter of the Year at the second annual Microdose Awards. More recently I was awarded Psychedelic Journalist of the Year at the 2023 Cannadelic Awards.
I am available for personal training, group fitness classes, and one-on-one psychedelic coaching. Check out my online shop for personalized copies of my books and other resources.
