"My experience with David as my guide was a gift. I felt safe and comfortable. He is thorough, yet it just feels effortless from him; which is such a reassuring energy to bring to what would otherwise feel like such a heavy experience. The journeys I have taken subsequently have carried the best elements of my journey with David at my side."

A light for you in dark places

Based in Denver, Colorado, I work with plant medicine and help people explore non-ordinary states for healing and growth.

Together we can:

  • Explore the transformative potential of plant medicine with personalized guidance
  • Prepare your mind and body in advance or integrate insights post-experience
  • Discuss safe microdosing and sustainable cultivation where legally permitted

I’m not a therapist or guide. I don’t ‘facilitate’ anything.

Think of me as a park ranger — someone knowledgeable about the landscape, who will help reconnect you with your intuitive wisdom. On your terms. At your pace.

"Within each of us, there once was a fire. For some of us, it seems as if there are only ashes now. But when we dig in the ashes we find one ember. The only thing that matters is that ember."
