Kathleen was wonderful! She helped me prepare for my experience and gave me guidance on how to continue my journey afterwards. I felt completely supported throughout the process. She's excellent!
Kathleen could not have been more supportive and professional. She's an excellent facilitator! She's empathetic, sensitive, and highly knowledgeable about mushrooms. My experience with her was very meaningful.
Kathleen was amazing! We instantly connected! Her compassion, empathy, and knowledge of mushrooms were so helpful. She listened to me on our first phone call and then our Zoom meeting and gave me appropriate resources to prepare me for the journey. Her choice of music for my journey was UNBELIEVABLY perfect for me, and the auditory part of the journey was a major component of my experience- what I REALLY appreciate is Kathleen’s commitment to the sacredness of the entire experience with mushrooms. She “gets” it in a spiritual and extremely meaningful way that contributed to the value of this whole journey. I can’t imagine another facilitator who would have been better. She’s also been extremely supportive in the integration process, providing very helpful resources.
Kathleen was exactly who I needed for my journey. I had had a previous guided experience to compare this to. Kathleen threaded the needle between being a clinician and being an empathetic guide for what I describe as a mystical experience. To have her by my side was critically important to me. I credit her, in large part, for my breakthrough in this experience. It has been a potentially life-altering experience, so worth the investment and effort, without a doubt.
Kathleen is an extraordinary person - her approach (her very being) is both intellectually rigorous and emotionally intelligent, empathic, and open - rare qualities in one person. [It was] the single most meaningful experience of my life!
I got my life back! Kathleen was knowledgeable about the issue I was bringing with me and extremely supportive before, during, and after. She provided a lot of insight during my integration process, which was helpful in how I will move forward from here.
Kathleen was wonderful! She was very knowledgeable about the drug and the process. I greatly appreciated her knowledge and experience. Odyssey and Kathleen appear to have prepared for every possibility, and that is extremely reassuring.
Kathleen did an amazing job at helping me prepare ahead of time including having a phone call with my wife to ease her concerns. During the experience she provided an amazing level of care far beyond what I could have expected. She is a major part of my healing and will forever be part of our family story. I felt 100% supported and cared for the entire time.
Kathleen was amazing. She attended to everything I needed. So kind, compassionate and caring. She made me feel very safe.
Life-changing! Highly exceeded expectations. My facilitator was so warm, welcoming, and supportive.
I felt connected to Kathleen from our first meeting, she has a very kind and caring presence that made me feel comfortable enough to let go- and that’s not easy for me!
Kathleen guided me through some vulnerable moments with steadiness and warmth. She was there for me when things felt hard. It was one of the most meaningful experiences I’ve ever had.
The way Kathleen prepared me for my journey was so helpful . I trust her completely.
This was my first time doing anything like this. Kathleen made me feel safe from the very beginning. I’m so grateful I did it with her.
My journey helped me get out of a deep emotional fog. She helped me connect the dots between past trauma and present patterns with compassion and insight. I don’t think I would have had the same outcome if Kathleen wasn’t there supporting me.
