It's Who We Are
Both Matthew and Olivia come from a wealth of personal and professional experience with entheogenic (psychedelic) medicine. The deep personal transformations they experienced inspired each to pursue careers in helping others to do the same and led to their connection and marriage. We would be honored to guide you individually or together in a group.
Matthew and Olivia both received liberal arts educations and carry deep respect for the arts, sciences, and humanities. Whether you hold a secular worldview or a spiritual one we are happy to meet you where you are at and speak the language of physics and pharmacology or the shamanic and Buddhist.
​
We are both licensed naturopathic doctors, but due to state rules we are required to keep our practices separate. If you are interested in ketamine-assisted therapy or the diagnosis or treatment of a mental illness from an integrative medicine perspective, please see us at Synaptic Institute.
Areas of Expertise:
Group work, depression, spirituality, grief, veterans, trauma, personal transformation, and medical complexity
About Us
Olivia, She/Her
Gentleness, Clarity, Calm Abiding Presence
She draws from a deep well of personal experience in psychedelic states, which allows her to create a container that is safe enough for you to do your most vulnerable work. It is her honor to work with grief- familial, ancestral, ecological, personal, and relational.
She will stand by you as you ask deep questions of yourself and reconstruct your life into a work of art. If you are seeking spiritual transformation, she will sit beside you in its infinite unfolding. She will be your co-pilot if you seek to explore the outer edges of consciousness.
Matthew, He/Him
Steadfast, Altruistic, Loving Kindness
Matthew brings a mindful, somatic approach to his counseling and facilitation work, creating safety and space for the unconscious to present itself its own way, in its own time. He is also a published scientist and trainer in the psychedelic field.
​
He is a veteran of the Army National Guard and has done extensive men’s work with The Mankind Project. Matthew is a dedicated father of two teenagers, an athlete and practices meditation and Aikido. ​
How It Works:
Step 1: Schedule a consultation for Q&A
This is a time to ask questions and get to know one another. We begin to build trust and decide if this is the right path for you.
Step 3: The Psilocybin Experience
We will set a date and time for your psilocybin experience at a Service Center in Portland, Oregon. You will purchase and consume the psilocybin at the center. For the duration of your psilocybin experience, we will be with you in a comfortable and private space. Music will be curated to your experience and intentions.
Step 2: Intake & Preparation Visits, Developing your Intention
At this stage we will plan your psilocybin journey and prepare you for each stage of the process. You will complete the required paperwork, we will continue to answer questions, and will begin the process of setting your intentions.
Step 4: Integration and Next Steps
Integration is the process of taking the experiences of your psilocybin journey and applying them to your life. We will help you to understand your journey and organize the meaning and insights you take from it. We are here to help you create enduring changes after your experience.
