What is
SPMI Therapy?
A Somatic Plant Medicine Integration (SPMI) Therapy session can be an effective way to deeply root your plant medicine experience. Often, about 4-6 weeks post-ceremony, individuals might experience a return to their “normal” state or feel the post-ceremony “buzz” fading away. SPMI therapy serves as a powerful tool to reignite that connection without the necessity of attending another plant or spirit medicine ceremony.

How do the sessions work?
These sessions operate within a trauma-informed framework, beginning with a grounding meditation, followed by an internal somatic journey. During this journey, we recall the sensations experienced during the positive aspects of our recent ceremony.
We employ visualization techniques to draw forth these feelings and anchor them into our current reality. Not only does this visualization allow us to revisit the positive messages and feelings experienced, but it also provides insights on how to embody these messages and honour these experiences moving forward.
