Welcome.
I’m Chris, a compassionate, clear-sighted facilitator, coach and guide. I’m a licensed natural medicine facilitator in Colorado, offering legal journeys, preparation, integration and coaching.
I believe we have an intrinsic will to thrive but are sometimes unable to figure out the “how” on our own. Growth and healing are hard. Psychedelics can crack open doors we thought were locked, or maybe didn’t even notice were there.
I work with people navigating:
high-functioning substance use
tech addiction
burnout
AI anxiety
major life transitions
leadership challenges
creative uncertainty
inter-generational patterns
questions of purpose
I’m a medical anthropologist by training, having studied addiction and psychoanalysis among the Indigenous Qom of Argentina. Most recently I worked for Google DeepMind adapting Gemini’s personality to cultures beyond the US.
My approach is depth-oriented and highly bespoke. I bring a calm, rooted presence to our collaboration. My own struggles fuel my empathy. Together, we explore your circumstances, co-create an approach, and chart a path forward grounded in your own experience, values and relationships.
I believe we can help you discover what it means to thrive.
If this approach resonates with you, I would love to hear what you’d like us to do together.
Individual Work
Whatever brought you - big life changes, curiosity, self-improvement or just the sense that something has to change - I’m glad you’re here.
There are three ways to work with me, depending on where you are and what kind of support you’re looking for.
Preparation + Integration
You don't need to work with me for a full journey to benefit from a thoughtful psychedelic process. I offer preparation to help you clarify your intentions, understand what you may encounter, and create the conditions for a meaningful experience, as well as integration to help you make sense of what emerges and translate it into your relationships, work, habits, and sense of self. This work can support experiences undertaken elsewhere, as well as rich or confusing experiences that have already happened and continue to ask something of you. You can choose one, the other, or both.
Guided Journeys
A full journey is a three-step process of preparation, sitting with the medicine, and integrating the experience that is designed around what you are seeking to change, heal, understand, or create. We take time to establish the right conditions beforehand, approach the journey with care and purpose, and then work together afterward to translate what emerges into meaningful changes in your life. The experience itself is only one part of the work; the deeper aim is to help what becomes possible during the journey take root in how you live.
Ongoing Integration + Coaching
Coaching is an ongoing space for turning insight into change. We work collaboratively with whatever is most alive in your life—whether that means navigating a transition, changing patterns, pursuing meaningful work, developing creativity, strengthening relationships, or becoming more fully the person you want to be. Drawing from anthropology, psychology, philosophy, and my broader experience working at the edges of human change, I help you see your circumstances from new angles and translate possibility into practice.
Group Experiences & Retreats
We are social beings, and I believe we often create, heal and grow best in relationship with others. Sometimes we need someone to create for, a relationship that gives us a reason to change, or a mirror held up with care so we can see something we couldn’t see alone. Group work brings these possibilities into a shared space for exploration, honest reflection and mutual support. I help hold that space with warmth, curiosity and purpose, so there is room to be challenged, to feel understood, and to discover what we have to offer one another.
Drawing on the Benedictine tradition, I also believe retreat is essential: we need time away from our everyday demands to return to our lives and communities renewed. What we discover together can nourish how we live, work and care for others when we return.
Logistics and Pricing
Start with a conversation
I offer a free, 25-minute consultation to hear what brings you here, answer your questions and explore whether working together feels like a good fit. You don’t need to have everything figured out before we talk.
Where we work
My home healing center is Neuroalchemy, and I have connections to healing centers in Denver, Boulder, Aspen and Colorado Springs. We’ll discuss location options as we plan your journey.
Preparation, integration and coaching are available both in person and by video.
Sessions and pricing
Individual preparation, integration and coaching sessions cost $200/hr. You can work with me on these separately, including around a journey undertaken elsewhere.
A full guided journey is usually $2,500. My current introductory rate is $1,750. This includes:
Two 60-minute preparation sessions
Your guided journey day
Two 60-minute integration sessions
The healing-center room
Couples experiences cost $3,500. They include the same number of sessions as above.
A seat in a group experience can be as low as $1,000.
We can discuss available options when we speak.
Medicine is priced separately. Its cost depends primarily on the dose and current market prices. I can give you an indication of what to expect when we speak.
Planning your journey day
Set aside the whole day, preferably a day before and a day after too. Treat the experience like a personal retreat. The journey session itself usually lasts 5–7 hours, and we’ll plan together for transportation home and time afterward to rest. Give yourself room to move through the experience without another commitment waiting on the other side.
Perspectives
Psychedelics raise as many questions as they yield answers. I’m interested in what careful research can tell us, what direct experience asks us to reconsider, what others have said before, and how all that fits together.
Here I share essays, research analysis and observations at the nexus of psychedelics and human flourishing. I bring different ways of knowing as I explain, explore, question and share.
