Awaken to your power.
This isn’t therapy. This isn’t another self-help tool.
This is a profound, life-altering experience.
My 6-hour Sacred Mushroom Ceremonies go beyond mindset shifts—they dissolve conditioning, shatter limitations, and reconnect you to the most powerful, grounded version of yourself. This is where your breakthrough begins—at a depth traditional therapy often can’t reach.
Research shows that a single psychedelic-assisted ceremony can provide the emotional and psychological healing equivalent to 10 years of talk therapy.
That’s because this work bypasses the surface and gets to the root—quickly, precisely, and permanently.
Beyond Coping:
Stop Managing & Finally Start Living a Life You Love
You’re not here for symptom management.
You’re done with temporary fixes, mood-boosting retreats, numbing your feelings, or surface-level "healing" that fades after a few weeks.
You’re done chasing the next thing. Done hoping this one will work.
This is about finally living—fully, clearly, and without the weight you’ve been carrying for years.
You’ve spent enough time trying to feel okay.
You want to feel at peace and genuinely excited about your life—not just going through the motions, counting down the days. You want to fall in love with your life again—even with the ups and downs. To feel alive, not just surviving.
The problem is, no one has taken you deep enough.
No one has helped you get to the root of the pain, the illness, the patterns that keep looping—until now.
This is the difference between self-improvement—and full transformation.
The version of you that’s grounded, healed, and fully in your power. The one you’re proud to become. The one you fall in love with—and never abandon again.
The version you’ve been longing for all along.
This isn’t talk therapy.
Therapy can help you understand your story. It can give language to your pain.
But insight isn’t the same as transformation.
You can name the wound—and still live from it.
Still feel stuck. Still carry the weight. Still repeat the same patterns, even when you know better.
Ceremony is different.
It doesn’t just help you see the pattern—it helps you break it.
It reaches the parts of you that insight alone can’t touch.
It rewires your nervous system. Restores your relationship to yourself.
And brings you back home to the version of you that feels clear, grounded, and fully alive.
The version you’ve been trying to reach for years.
Welcome
We open the ceremony with a cleansing ritual, prayer, and the setting of intentions. Proper preparation is essential, which is why participants are required to follow a pre-ceremony diet.
01
Medicine
The medicine used in my ceremonies is sourced with the utmost care and reverence. I work only with cultivators who understand that this is sacred work—not a product. I choose strains intentionally, based on energetic origin and quality, most often working with strains from Mexico or South America, depending on what is available at the time.
02
Journey
Your journey will unfold like a dream-one where the deepest parts of you finally have space to be seen, heard and understood. As the medicine takes effect, I will guide you -not just with words, but with energy, intuition, and medicine songs that open portals to deeper realms.
03
Closing
After the journey, we have time to rest and ground. This is a deeply personal experience-you’re welcome to share, journal or simply be in silence. We then gather for a nourishing meal before returning home.
04
Integration
To support you beyond the ceremony, you’ll be invited to a group Zoom integration session, with the optionto add a one-on-one integration session for more personal guidance.
Everyone also goes home with a detailed integration packet designed to help you process your experience piece by piece—at your own pace. Inside, you’ll find thoughtful prompts and reflection questions to help you understand what came through, continue the shifts, and begin embodying the insights in your daily life.
05
One ceremony. A lifetime of shift.
A single mushroom ceremony can unlock the kind of healing most people spend years chasing in conventional therapy.
This isn’t about coping. It’s about clearing what’s been weighing you down—so you can finally move forward as the version of you that feels true.
Here’s what people often walk away with:
A complete release from old trauma, emotional baggage, and stories that no longer serve.
A radical shift in perspective—like your heart finally giving your mind direction. The separation dissolves, and you move forward in inner alignment.
A deep sense of self-trust and inner peace that can’t be shaken.
A nervous system reset: less fear, more freedom.
Relationships that feel healthier, softer, more real.
Clarity on your purpose—and the confidence to live it.
A reconnection to your power, your truth, and the you that’s been waiting to rise.
“Alexis is truly gifted at what she does. She is well-educated in the subject and truly cares about your healing journey. All of this allows for an amazing experience before, during, and after. I experienced a spiritual awakening I’d never experienced before. If you follow her guidelines, trust her, and come with an open heart, you will have no regrets. I believe in her work and wish the whole world could experience her ceremony.”

Custom Individual or Group Ceremony
Exclusive, Customized 8-Hour Ceremonies
For individuals, couples, or small private groups—held in the comfort of your home.
This isn’t symptom management. It’s for those who are done cycling through prescriptions, diagnoses, and temporary relief. If you’ve tried everything—therapy, medications, specialists—and still feel like something’s missing, you’re not wrong.
Because there’s a deeper layer.
And it lives in the body.
In the places where emotions were stored instead of processed.Healing is possible—as long as you’re willing to feel what’s been suppressed.
If you’re living with chronic pain, anxiety, burnout, disconnection—or just a quiet heaviness you can’t explain—this ceremony is for you.
Not to help you stay alive.
But to help you start living again.“Alexis’ work is truly transformative. Her ceremony didn’t just help me release and heal emotional trauma—it brought deep healing to my physical body.”
Frequently Asked Questions
The Ceremony
-
Psilocybin is a naturally-occurring compound found in certain mushrooms. Once ingested, the body converts it into psilocin—the compound that interacts with serotonin receptors to create an altered state of consciousness.
Psilocybin has been shown to promote neuroplasticity, helping the brain form new connections and release rigid thought patterns. This is why so many people report life-changing breakthroughs after a single experience.
In ceremony, psilocybin can help:
– Heal emotional trauma at the root
– Interrupt cycles of anxiety, depression, and burnout
– Support physical healing by reducing inflammation and rebalancing the nervous system
– Reconnect you to your body, intuition, and purpose -
My ceremonies are rooted in the Mazatec tradition, which emphasizes integrity and heart in healing. Niños Santos (“Holy Children” or “Little Saint Children”) is what Mazatec healers call “magic mushrooms.” The Mazatec, an Indigenous people of Oaxaca, Mexico, view Niños Santos as living entities with divine healing power.
Without the Mazatec’s resilience and knowledge of mushrooms for healing, I would not be able to do this work. To honor the Mazatec people's contribution to psilocybin healing traditions, 10% of all ceremony proceeds are donated to Historias y Memorias Mazatecas (HMM), an organization dedicated to preserving Mazatec cultural heritage and artifacts.
-
The effects of psilocybin are highly variable and depend on your mindset and the environment, but generally within an hour of ingestion, you’ll begin to experience shifts in consciousness, perception, and perhaps mood. Psychedelic journeys typically last between 4-6 hours and can shift throughout the experience. Some people experience some nausea, which can be alleviated with breathing and movement.
During your journey, you may experience visions, release stored emotions, access lost memories, and gain deeper insights into your life and relationships. It can be an overwhelming experience, which is why I’m there to help guide you before, during and after the ceremony.
Psilocybin is not known to be physically addictive.
-
Research indicates that psilocybin can induce neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to change and reorganize thought patterns, enabling people to find new ways to process anxiety, depression or deeply embedded trauma. It can also be effective for more spiritual explorations.
Potential immediate and long-lasting benefits of psilocybin:
Reduced negative mood and increased positive mood
Increased feelings of tolerance, understanding and empathy
Getting unstuck; release of fears that allow you to take a big leap or identify the next step toward transformation or achieving the next level
Accelerated emotional/psychological healing
Happier mood because of the release of past stories and new compassion for people who you may feel have wronged you
More compassion for self and self-love
More alignment with your purpose
-
In clinical studies, psilocybin has been shown to be high benefit and low risk. It’s generally safe and well-tolerated. It’s not known to be physically addictive and overdosing is nearly impossible.
So-called “bad trips” are usually the result of an uncontrolled environment, mixing with alcohol and/or other drugs, or taking too much recreationally without intention.
Possible physical side effects include nausea, vomiting, disorientation, and headaches. I will be there to guide you through any possible negative side effects.
You will be in control during the ceremony. Think of it as a deep meditation. If you open your eyes, you are here in the here and now. If you close your eyes, you can go back into your journey.
-
Mushroom ceremonies are not for you, if you:
Are looking for a recreational experience
Are on antibiotics
Are on lithium medication
Have a personal or family history of bipolar, schizophrenia, or other personality disorders
The Basics
-
It begins with a complimentary 30-minute connection call. This is an opportunity for us to feel into alignment, answer questions, and ensure you're seeking a deeper relationship with the medicine—beyond recreational use.
If it feels like the right fit, you’ll be invited into an upcoming ceremony. -
Absolutely! It can be meaningful to experience a journey with friends and partners. If you have a group of friends who would like to participate in a ceremony together, I can also guide ceremonies at private residences.
-
The cost of each ceremony reflects the depth of transformation, the skillset I bring to this work, and the level of personal support provided.
Group ceremonies are my most accessible offering starting at $675, while private 1:1 ceremonies are my highest-tier service—a premium, four-figure investment designed for those seeking a deeply personalized experience.
A single mushroom ceremony provides emotional and psychological healing that surpasses years of conventional therapy.
Included in the 6-hour single-day ceremonial retreat:
Group pre-ceremony Zoom call to meet one another
Ceremony (includes energetic cleanse, guided journey, live music and integration practices)
Nourishing organic meal post-ceremony
Post-ceremony integration Zoom call one week later
To honor the Mazatec people's contribution to psilocybin healing traditions, 10% of all ceremony proceeds are donated to Historias y Memorias Mazatecas (HMM)—an organization preserving Mazatec culture, artifacts, and wisdom.
-
For your comfort and for the medicine to work best, please follow these recommendations before & after the ceremony:
Clean diet leading up to the ceremony. Specifically no black beans and no meat (especially pork, beef, chicken)
No alcohol, drugs or other medicinal plants as a way to show respect to the medicine and purify the body and soul
No sex with others or self
Do not participate in gossip or anger and try to maintain clean mental hygiene
-
The day of the ceremony, the body must be clean inside and out.
Steam shower in the morning
A ceremony is a very sacred ritual so one should dress with clean clothes and with intent
Light breakfast or fasting the day of the ceremony. The lightness resulting from fasting makes it easier for the medicine to work in your body. If you do have breakfast that morning, no eggs or milk. (eggs are considered sacred, and milk cuts the effect of the mushroom) a small cup of coffee is ok.
-
Please bring a blanket and pillow so you can rest comfortably during the journey. You’re also welcome to bring anything that helps you feel grounded—like a small personal altar item (crystal, photo, or object with meaning), an eye mask, or cozy socks.
-
Expect a sacred, intentional space rooted in integrity, ancestral wisdom, and deep transformation.
This is not a trip—it’s a ceremony. A guided healing experience designed to help you release what’s been weighing you down and reconnect with your truth.
You can expect:

A beautiful, shared meal and space to ground after the journey
Ongoing integration support to help you embody the shifts long after the ceremony ends
-
My ceremonies are intentionally intimate—curated with safety, depth, and personal attention in mind.
Each ceremony is limited to 8 participants, ensuring a supportive and immersive experience. I maintain a 4:1 participant-to-facilitator ratio, so everyone receives the care and presence they deserve.

“Alexis holds space in such a beautiful and authentic way. I’m super sensitive to others’ energy, so it made me nervous to do my healing with others present, but working with Alexis was awesome. Los Niños Santos had many messages for me about healing my lineage and my own traumas and I was able to connect with and work with ancestors and spirit guides to really move things forward. I felt safe and held in a beautiful community of other mostly latina or Bipoc women. It was a beautiful experience that I'd definitely recommend to others.”
— Emelina
“I had a beautiful heart-opening experience during this ceremony. It was my first experience with mushrooms and I was afraid of having a ‘bad trip,’ but Alexis puts great care and intent into the ceremonies and it is felt in the experience. She does an amazing job at creating a sacred and safe space for all guests. I highly recommend attending a future ceremony!”
