My name is Naomi, I live on the south east coast of the UK in a city called Brighton. I am married to Aidan and home educate my 3 boys. I am an integrative, somatic therapist who specialises in the mindful use of psychedelics as a tool for healing.

After finishing college in 1995, I went on to university to train as a paediatric nurse and then as a midwife in 2000 but felt unable to work in the mainstream system. After the birth of my first son, I trained as an antenatal educator and doula and I also ran postnatal classes from home.

In 2020, I became interested in microdosing after experiencing severe anxiety, decades of chronic pain and burn out. As a family, we decided to take a few months sabbatical which led us to Costa Rica, in a eco-spiritual community on the west coast in Guancaste. It was here that I learnt how plants could be medicine and it also opened my eyes and mind to women micro and macro dosing in pregnancy and the postpartum. I couldn’t believe the difference I saw in this community of mothers and their experiences of pregnancy, birth and postpartum in comparison with my UK clients. I personally experienced plant and earth medicine ceremonies and began to somatically address my anxiety, pain and burn out.

On returning home, I realised that I could not continue working as a doula in the same way and I felt a strong call to work with mushrooms. I started microdosing under the guidance of the Microdosing Institute in Amsterdam and had such a profound experience that I went on their 10 month coaching program. It was here that I formed an alliance with Dr James Fadiman and Mikeala de la Myco and together we have put together a survey to collect the stories of a 1000 microdosing women in pregnancy and the postpartum in order to give much needed data and reassurance to this demographic. I also began to realise that supporting women through their birth journeys and supporting people through psychedelic experiences were ultimately the same. Both were holding space for those in an altered state of consciousness and the process of intention setting, planning and integration applied to all people having an altered state experience.

I don’t just work with mothers. My group programs are open to all who identify as women. My 1:1 services are also available to men.

In 2022 I also started receiving guidance and training with Jennie Harrison, an alchemist, healer and founder of the Heal and Thrive Method, specializing in energetics and addressing root cause trauma.

In 2023, I trained as a trauma informed, integrative somatic therapist.

At the moment, I offer a group container ‘The Foundation Program’ 1:1 programs and 1:1 support for expanded inner journeys.
