Cannabis As Medicine
Cannabis is an ancient plant that’s been used for medicinal and spiritual purposes for thousands of years, throughout our planet. I began studying about the benefits of cannabis over 10 years ago during a health crisis and used it as part of my healing process. As I continue to learn about this powerful plant, I’m happy to share what I’ve learned, especially as it relates to healing the body, mind and spirit.
Cannabis Assisted Psychedelic Therapy (yes, psychedelic)
Cannabis sativa is a legal, safe and sacred medicinal tool which supports us in turning inward, resolving tensions stored deep within the body, tracking inner sensations, and releasing traumas from the nervous system. It has a “shapeshifting” nature and can mimic other medicines, so you are likely to experience states that are similar to several other medicines in a single session, ranging from gentle MDMA to extreme DMT states. No other medicine creates such a diverse psychedelic experience
Cannabis-Assisted Psychedelic Therapy (CAPT) is different than “getting high.” When used in an intentional container with a professionally trained psychedelic guide (me!), this modality deepens the healing and transformational process.
Clients have reported:
• Extreme body awareness and a synesthesia of somatic and visual senses
• Active and very visual imaginal experiences and a deep connection with their intuition
• A connection with the sacred, deeply meaningful and transcendent
• A feeling of being very present, lucid and with a sense of agency during the experience
• Profound new levels of nervous system regulation and trauma resolution
• Developing a sense of agency in life, and important situations, and having more choice
• Feeling a deeper connection with their sense of purpose
I trained directly with Daniel McQueen of Medicinal Mindfulness who pioneered Cannabis-Assisted Psychedelic Therapy and completed my credential in August of 2021.
A Cannabis-Assisted Psychedelic Therapy session is done in 3 parts: Preparation, Journey, and Integration. Typically, those parts are scheduled over a week's time. My fee for a CAPT session is $360.

Therapeutic Uses of Cannabis
Many of my family and friends, as well as myself, have benefited from the use of cannabis for a host of physical conditions. The reason cannabis can help with everything from skin conditions to cancer is because we have receptors throughout our bodies specifically for the cannabinoids (chemical compounds) found in the cannabis plant.
If you're curious about how cannabis can improve your health and as well as provide balance and everyday wellness, check out the website Potential for Healing. That's the site of my friend and fellow psychonaut, Ingrid Chapman. She's a certified health and cannabis coach and empowers clients to begin their healing journey with cannabis. She's also a graduate of the Medicinal Mindfulness sitter school.
