Our Team of Licensed Facilitators

  • Co-owner of Vital Reset, and 2023 graduate of Synaptic Institute, Heidi transformed her own life through psilocybin experiences. Drawing from her personal triumph over treatment-resistant depression, she compassionately guides others toward their own healing.

    Heidi knows psilocybin mushrooms as gentle guides. The mushrooms can help you move past rigid patterns to unlock your inner flexibility and resilience.

    Heidi creates a safe, legal, comfortable space for clients. She serves as more than a facilitator, she is a steadfast companion, offering empathetic support on your journey toward self-healing.

  • I am a Licensed Psilocybin Facilitator and graduate of the Alma Training Institute. With a background in healthcare administration, my approach is holistic, person-centered, and focused on bridging the gap between modern research and traditional uses of Psilocybin. My role as a facilitator is to create a legal, safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space that empowers each individual.

    My relationship with Psilocybin has been fundamental in my healing journey and deepened my understanding of myself and the world around me. I view Psilocybin not as a quick fix or cure-all but as one part of a larger, complex, deeply personal story.

    I work with anyone drawn to this journey, bringing an understanding that each person’s experience is unique and deserves individualized attention. I believe healing comes in many forms, and we each have what we need within us to make meaningful change.

    -BA in Social Sciences with Emphasis in Psychology from Portland State University

    -Twenty-five years of experience with psychedelics

    I am a licensed Psilocybin Facilitator, Preparation, and Integration Coach. I have 25 years of experience with psychedelics and helping people navigate their expanded consciousness while making sense of their experiences afterwards. By doing deep therapeutic healing work over the last 10 years I have personally overcome addiction and depression while significantly lessening the symptoms of my own anxiety, OCD, ADHD, and PTSD. I have worked to build a very full authentic life filled with love and creativity through a holistic healing journey that includes psychedelic medicine.

    In my journey I have also studied psychology, sociology, anthropology, and philosophy; worked as a peer counselor with at-risk youths; and earned a degree in Social Sciences from Portland State University. I’ve also had the honor of learning from experienced guides, mentors, counselors, indigenous leaders, and my mother, a classically trained therapist.

    This year, with the legalization of psilocybin assisted therapy in Oregon, I was able to apply all of my experience and education to finally acquire formally approved training through the Changa Institute. Through that education and by working at healing retreats in Jamaica, I've learned the more formal medical model and protocol for running individual and group healing ceremonies.

    My approach is one of radical acceptance and embracing the entirety of the human experience. My methodology is highly influenced by eastern philosophy, evolutionary psychology, and personal revelations from plant medicine itself. I believe that all our feelings are sacred and important. Listening to these feelings, honoring them, and learning how to process them is an important key to unlocking our full potential while repressed and unprocessed feelings manifest as mental and physical health problems.

    In preparation sessions, I provide guidance for how to access and honor your feelings in a safe, private space. In integration sessions, I help you interpret the lessons your feelings taught you and how to use these lessons to become a more authentic version of yourself.

  • Hi! I'm Tracey, originally a nor cal gal; I'm a clinical herbalist, wildcrafter, plant medicine maker, mycophile/ grower, cranial-sacral therapist, vitalist, teacher, wife & mother of two teens. My now husband and I found ourselves in ayahuasca ceremonies in the jungle of Manus, Brazil over 20 years ago. It was there that I learned it was my calling to hold space for psychedelic medicine ceremonies. I have facilitated several clients and groups since graduating from Innertrek, the first psilocybin facilitator school in the country. Part-time I teach Preparation, Journeying, and Integration at The Changa Institute, a psilocybin facilitator certification program in Lake Oswego, OR.

  • Hi, I'm a passionate and experienced psilocybin facilitator who has lead practicums for students completing their facilitator certification process, has facilitated for groups and individual clients, and has assisted several service centers through the process of hosting the first client sessions.

    Throughout my life I have worked to promote growth, healing, and development in the wider world. This calling has taken me from working on endangered species recovery projects, to classroom teaching, to youth development and crisis intervention. I also have a strong ethic of volunteerism which has led me to work on several ecological restoration projects and community construction projects.

    While I have long held a deep appreciation and reverence for entheogens (an umbrella term often used for many naturally derived psychedelics) as a way to promote personal growth, insight, and nature / spiritual connectivity; my path to facilitation began when I spend several months working with traditional plant medicine practitioners as part of my personal healing journey through grief. After experiencing the significant positive impacts these medicines had in my own healing journey, I felt called to pursue facilitation as another modality of promoting positive growth in the world. I was excited when Oregon provided me with the opportunity to legally practice within the context of my own community.

    As a facilitator, I draw on my diversity of experience to provide a well-rounded and consistently supported journey that starts with our first consultation and extends through to integrating the psilocybin experience into your daily life. I draw on all of my life experience in my practice. My work involving trauma informed care and crisis intervention allows me to be a calm and consistent supportive presence during other people's storms. My experience in personal development and teaching allows me to fully educate and prepare clients for their personalized psilocybin journey and to develop achievable plans of integration that ensure the experience has a lasting positive impact. Working hands-on with a wide variety of wildlife has honed my skills in nonverbal communication and empathy toward various forms of consciousness. I also highly value being active in my own professional development and will be completing a psychedelically informed end of life doula certification this December.

    It would be my honor to prepare and support you through your own psilocybin journey of growth, healing, and self-discovery. The phrase "psilocybin assisted therapy" gets used a lot for these services, but that only implies the self (you the client). The aim of these sessions is to connect you with your own inner healing, truth, and insight. It is this experiential nature of the practice that provides significant lasting outcomes for clients. I will work with you to give you the tools you need to gain as much from your experience as possible.

  • My introduction to plant medicine as a young teenager opened my eyes and heart to a sense of oneness, awe and beauty. This set the tone for the rest of my life. I didn’t know I was creating new synapses in my brain, or changing my neurobiology due to having trauma and growing up in a difficult situation.

    But I knew that I wished everyone could experience the depths of oneness and wholeness that I experienced. For over a decade I explored psychedelics and was invited to move to Hawaii to grow magic mushrooms, which helped me understand their message even more. I lived in the Islands for 21 years, a very idyllic lifestyle sharing in a multicultural community.

    Studying with Indigenous cultures and meeting my Tibetan Buddhist teacher (Lama Tharchin Rinpoche) was most valuable to me, and helped me understand the mind at a deeper level, and experience the tangible qualities of compassion and wisdom. I told my teacher that I wanted to be a bridge of understanding between Eastern and Western views.

    With that aim in mind, I moved from HI. to the PNW and have been in the healing field for the past three decades as a Yoga Therapist, and hypnotherapist working and teaching in hospitals, an addiction recovery center, in various corporations, teaching internationally, presenting at medical conferences, as well as working with a frequency based medical device.

    My spiritual path led me to offer Sacred Dance based on a Tibetan Buddhist practice of Tara, and my dreams of integrating expansive mind states with Western ways, was on track. I love how evidence based science, is now meeting the mystical!

    There remained a feeling of wanting to offer more. How fortunate I feel to be in a state where I’ve trained with InnerTrek, to be a licensed Psilocybin Facilitator and now practice in a Service Center! I feel that I’ve come full circle in my life and work.

    My own understanding of neuroscience, along with somatic embodiment practices, and the breakthrough modality of utilizing psychedelics has enhanced my wish to truly effect healing in the people I work with. I listen to your needs and help formulate your intention, sit with you during your journey, and again connect afterwards for integration, offering resources to add to your own growth.

  • I completed my facilitator training with SubtleWinds Cohort #1 and serve as lead instructor for their Neuroscience & Pharmacology modules. My relationship with the psychedelic movement began in the late 1960s. Over the decades, these experiences have "made me who I am today".

    I received an MD degree in 1983 and spent twenty years practicing general & trauma surgery and six years as an emergency physician. I assisted patients from all walks of life and countries. My preference is to remain a generalist as a facilitator and therefore serve all clients regardless of demographic background.

    My work in harm reduction at festivals and mass gatherings has exposed me to the range of adverse outcomes from the unregulated use of psychedelics. I have supported the goals of Measure #109 since its inception. The opportunity to participate in the Oregon "experiment" with facilitated psilocybin journeys is both thrilling and humbling.

    The client and the medicine do the necessary work. I feel the role of facilitator is to provide a safe container for the client's journey. Music, color, breath & movement all offer deeper journeys. The importance of proper preparation prior and nonjudgemental integration following a session cannot be overstated.  

  • Hi, I’m Henry. I am a musician, yogi, mystic and intuitive counselor. If you and I work together, I will support you in preparing for your journey, and teach you the basics of a shamanic journey to be used to craft your intention statement. During the ceremony, you will be held within a safe container of non-judgment. And, on the other side of your journey, I will lead you through a psychedelic integration session, which I view as the most essential part of your journey. I will support you in implementing into your daily life the themes, directives, and body awareness received in non-ordinary reality.

    I began my journey with psychedelics in high school, to heighten my explorations into musical improvisation and consciousness. I am also a diagnosed narcoleptic. I regularly experienced lucid dreaming and astral travel as a child—experiences I now view as shamanic initiations awakening in me a deep calling to explore the mystery.

    Much like the figures of the Summer of Love I so deeply admired, I rode my consciousness exploration train into the substance abuse station. After years of struggling to shed addiction’s chains on my soul (and bouts of depression), my moment of clarity came at thirty-four. I reached towards spirit through various mediums and came to understand and embody the wisdom that I was receiving from my sponsors, yoga teachers and pastors. With their insights and grace, I was able to pivot and embrace a different path—one where I learned to trust and have faith.

    After thirteen years of complete sobriety, and a full year of deliberation in advance of the journey, I found myself on a plane to Peru to experience Ayahuasca. On a soul level, I was being called to the medicine. Ayahuasca gave me deep insights into the generational trauma I was carrying, revealed my choices that did not support my soul’s purpose, and showed me just how much love and light was within and around me. I was also given clear, specific directives for changing my life—but never acted on most of them. This is one of the reasons why I have become such a proponent of psychedelic integration. Yes, there are great gifts in the healing experienced through the journey itself, and the truth of interconnectedness it sparks, but the circle is completed during the integration session. This is where the true alchemy occurs, as your higher self leads you to take action steps that bring your life into alignment.

    The magic continues as we realize that we are enough and begin sharing our true gifts with our community. Along those lines, my journey led me to transition from a thirty-year restaurant career into doing psilocybin facilitation, psychedelic integration, hypnosis, and shamanic counseling. I bring my music, humor, intuition and vast experience to each journey. I greatly look forward to connecting with you.

  • Hi, I’m Aaron. I’m a kind and caring facilitator who empathizes with people who have endured trauma and mental illnesses. From a young age, I struggled with serious anxiety that inhibited my ability to feel joy or live in the moment. After years of playing football and enduring an assault, I also suffered from head trauma that made me feel abnormal to myself. As I healed from injuries to my brain and body, I learned valuable lessons about physical, mental, and emotional recovery. Primarily, I learned that patience, diligence, and forgiveness are essential in the healing process. After 13 years of holistic wellness practices including breathwork, meditation, yoga, journaling, and my own healing journeys the connection between my head and heart has healed, which has allowed me to feel like my true self again. I understand how growth and healing have no timeline and I am dedicated to supporting you throughout your personal journey.

    I became a facilitator because I want to help people welcome joy into their lives and feel like their best self. We all have the right to joy. Some things in life, like trauma, cause us to lose faith in that, but we all deserve to feel joy in our lives. I connect most with clients who are seeking joy or struggle with depression and anxiety, and are committed to the preparation and integration work to make the most of their journey.

    As a person with family and friends who serve in the military and as first responders, I have deep respect and empathy for the unique experiences of those who serve. I am passionate about serving the veteran and first responder communities as a facilitator, so I offer a discount to people with these identities as an appreciation for your selflessness.

    Based on my successful experiences with balanced and holistic wellness, I use a combination of eastern and western medicine in my practice. My academic background includes a Bachelor’s Degree in Bioengineering from Oregon State University, where I researched a variety of drugs and contributed to peer-reviewed journal articles related to health and wellness. Due to my growth mindset and love for research, I regularly seek new psilocybin studies, mindfulness techniques, and opportunities to improve as a facilitator.

    I am a strong believer of science, and I also practice meditation, yoga, and breathwork every day. I am passionate about breathwork and meditation especially. These techniques can help tremendously during a journey, so I am eager to educate and guide my clients as they begin to practice mindfulness. During a journey, the one thing we always have is our breath. I am committed to supporting my clients for the best possible experience, which starts with the preparation work and continues long after their session. I offer three integration sessions after your journey and I am happy to schedule as many preparation meetings as you need before your journey so that you feel supported, respected, and confident at each step in the process

  • Ryan, a graduate from the Synaptic Institute and licensed psilocybin facilitator, is passionately committed to helping individuals navigate their journey to emotional and psychological healing. This commitment is deeply rooted in his own transformative experiences with psilocybin, which he credits for grounding him and fostering immense personal growth. Ryan combines his academic knowledge with personal insights to guide clients through their healing journeys effectively. His role as a husband and father of five enriches his practice, imparting him with values of empathy, patience, and love. As he seeks to create a safe and conducive environment for his clients, he remains a continual learner, eagerly absorbing new information to augment his practice, while upholding the highest standards of safety and ethics.

  • I am a health and consciousness enthusiast who has worked with the medicine for eight years. Professionally, I’ve been a registered nurse for 30 years, mainly in Level 1 trauma centers. I’m an experienced LENS neurofeedback practitioner, trained spiritual director, and former chaplain for Unity of Portland. I’m skilled in the art of holding space for clients who seek deeper levels of knowing.

    After graduating from the University of Maryland in Baltimore in 2022 with a Master of Science in Medical Cannabis Science and Therapeutics, I began writing the curriculum to train psilocybin facilitators. I spent the first half of 2023 educating facilitators in a private school, including the first licensed graduate in the state. I specialize in the pharmacology of psilocybin and am often asked to consult on those with complicated pharmaceutical regimens who wish to use the medicine. Clients who are drawn to working with me include those with anxiety and depression, and in particular adults who are new to the world of psychedelics. My values are to educate and provide a supportive, comfortable, and safe presence while you take the steps to change your life.

  • Heidi is a nutritional therapy practitioner, a ICF credentialed coach, a licensed psilocybin facilitator and a long time plant medicine advocate. She has deep respect that a psilocybin experience can offer a gateway to healing, and it is her honor to co-create with you a safe, confidential container, free of judgement to shape your path to healing. She specializes in mind-body connection and working with folks wanting to explore their own unique journey with body image. Wanting a kinder self-worth, self-compassion and to feel more alive, free, appreciative, and in connection.

    Her approach as a coach and facilitator is that each one of us are naturally creative, resourceful and whole, able to connect with a deep innate inner healing intelligence. Her alliance with you begins before your journey, supporting you in your preparation and clarity of intentions, so that you feel secure. It continues after your journey in your integration session(s) which are a space for you to make meaning of the profound reflections you had. Her style of integration is non-directive and relational, empowering your narrative so that you can anchor the growth that comes from it.

  • My name is Dain Miller, and I became a licensed facilitator because I felt the world needed a better approach to mental health.  I’m offering my services to those who wish to explore their minds, learn about themselves more deeply, and heal their past traumas. Currently my main focus is on helping clients with anxiety and depression. I’ve lived in Hillsboro, Oregon most of my life and I want to see our community flourish. I’m proud of our state for being the first in the country to legalize psilocybin services and I want to share the healing power of psilocybin with all who are interested!
