TESTIMONIALS

“Having experienced personal growth through use of plant medicines, I was interested in exploring different psychedelics, and in finding new ways to journey with lower doses. I was attracted to Mira’s ‘unjourneying’ approach and was happy to participate with her in a retreat setting. Mira created a safe container for our group, and offered different substances and doses so that we could choose the nature and intensity of our journey. Mira was meticulous in looking for ways to optimize the medicine administration and was attentive to our needs as participants and was able to effectively intervene when asked. I left the retreat feeling a deeper sense of connection to the natural world and my peaceful place in it and would recommend Mira’s guidance to anyone wanting to work with these medicines.”

“After a life-changing plant medicine journey in 2020 I was having difficulty integrating my home and loved ones with my new outlook and feelings. Mira gave me the kind and empathetic support I needed and the tools I still use that help me de-stress and navigate that place between the day-to-day and the divine. I continue to rely on Mira for her gentle guidance and thoughtful, reliable information about psychedelics.”

–Rhonda from Oregon

“I got in touch with Mira when I started experimenting with psychedelics during middle age and needed someone to help me process the experiences I was having. Mira was extremely supportive throughout our counseling sessions and I always felt she cared about me as a person. During our guided sessions, she was a stable, wise presence during my more challenging experiences, always providing just the right amount of support without getting in the way during my journeys. I also appreciated that she connected me with other resources that could aid in my healing. I highly recommend Mira.”

–Sigmund from Oregon

“Before I started working with Mira, I suffered from debilitating depression, anxiety and PTSD. Mira has a different approach to treatment than any of the other therapists I’ve worked with, and it has been such a relief to find tools that actually work! She has helped me learn to feel what my body is telling me and recognize the impact on my life, which has helped my mental health immensely. She has also helped me learn to integrate what I’ve learned and to see how my life can be different and more fulfilling. With Mira’s insights, my healing journey is so much more interesting than I ever imagined it could be.”

“I have been working with Mira for nearly three years, including one-on-one therapeutic support, integration circles and an intensive in-person medicine session. I approached Mira initially to start working in earnest on understanding the origins of my anxiety as well as to prepare and integrate a mushroom retreat facilitated by an outside company. I also had curiosities at the intersection of nondual methods of awakening and psychedelic medicines that I wanted to explore. I found Mira very easy to talk to about personal issues in my life, including those involving intimate relationships and deep-seated insecurities. She is good-natured, compassionate and sincere in her efforts to create a safe environment for expressions of vulnerability. Mira finds ways to ask provocative questions in a gentle way. It is through working with Mira that I navigated a significant life transition and discovered the power of compassion and presence to allow an emotionally-charged therapeutic process to unfold. I have also been fortunate to do in-person medicine work with Mira. Her knowledge of medicine, including both safety and energetic considerations, is top notch. I felt safe and supported throughout a deep, intensive and highly collaborative experience and was grateful to be served by someone who knew me so well. I would recommend Mira to anyone interested in medicine work or the intersection of nonduality and psychedelics or to anyone who thinks they might benefit from opening up to a compassionate, present, kind-hearted soul.”

“Mira is a beautiful, rare soul. Incredibly conscientious and attentive, she has an ability to create a container for healing that allowed me to let go and trust the process. Mira is kind and knowledgeable and attuned. I'm convinced anyone would benefit from her guidance.”

–Amanda from Texas

“In support of my son who expressed a strong interest in psilocybin therapies, I engaged in a search for a qualified facilitator/therapist. Fortunately, I found Mira and introduced her to my son. A relationship based on trust and compassion ensued and has produced and continued to produce profound results. Seeing the results in her brother, my daughter sought Mira's help. Her life has been positively altered as well. Mira guided me on a 5-MeO-DMT experience which altered my life immeasurably. My trust and confidence in her were essential ingredients in allaying fears and apprehensions. She is gifted and this, coupled with her dedication and integrity, makes her uniquely qualified to guide anyone seeking personal growth and breakthroughs.”

–Fred from California

“After decades of doing my own personal healing work, as well as working with numerous therapists & life coaches, and still feeling stuck, I knew that I wanted to try psychedelic therapy. From the first session, I felt immediately comfortable with Mira. She has a gentleness about her that fosters a sense of safety and trust, which freed me to let go and have the experience I needed to have. Based on Mira's thorough and clear explanation of the various psychedelic medicines available to me, I decided on 5-MeO-DMT. This turned out to be the perfect choice for me, something I would not have known about without her thoughtful guidance. Mira's gentle presence, combined with her attention to detail, and ability to provide a nest of safely, was deep medicine for me. I highly recommend her to anyone considering psychedelic therapy, or therapy of any kind.”

–Julia from Oregon

“I have been working with Mira for several years now. I was originally drawn to her unique combination of skills in psychotherapy, non-dual meditation, and medicine guiding. I also appreciated that her approach to meditation and spirituality is rational and experiential with a minimum of new-age trappings and "woo". You are encouraged to find your own way into connection, consciousness, and spirit without needing to believe anything, but any existing beliefs are honored, making her the ideal practitioner for skeptics and believers alike. I recently participated in a retreat with Mira and a small group of explorers. The medicines she uses are fast acting, powerful, and of short duration which allows each person to design their own experience. We were encouraged to use the medicines to be more deeply present ( a process she is calling "unjourneying"), which works well with lighter doses, but can also choose to go deeper when called to do so. I was able to flow through several states of varying depth, challenge, and reward, allowing each one to permeate my awareness and influence the next. At the end I felt complete, fulfilled, and grateful that I was able to pilot my own ship the whole way. In addition to leading the ceremonies, Mira cooked 3 meals a day for us using fresh, delicious, healthy ingredients. She is a great cook and takes pleasure in offering that to her clients as well. Her protocols are meticulous, her passion is obvious. I can highly recommend Mira for people interested in either personal work or group work.”

–Tom from California

“I found Mira when I was struggling deeply with OCD. My medication had stopped working and I needed help to get out of the hole my mind was digging me into. Mira's extensive knowledge of psychedelic medicines, meditation, and exposure therapy helped pull me out of the hole I was in and move forward without simply taking a different medication in an effort to cover things up. Not only does her guidance come from a place of empathy and kindness, but her unique personal history allows her to often relate to me from lived experience, which is something I've never found with any other therapist. All of these reasons are why I continue to trust Mira to help me as I continue on my journey.”

–Max from California

“I spent most of my life listening to the advice of a voice in my head. It told me, repeatedly, that I wasn't good enough. That was all it had to say, but it was a very persuasive voice - and I took its evaluation of me quite seriously. I didn't question it for decades, but it finally dawned on me that maybe the voice wasn't quite right, and maybe it didn't have my best interests at heart. By this time it felt to me that my patterns of feeling, thought, and behavior were so entrenched that I needed something dramatic to shake them loose. When I first met Mira, I talked about the idea that, much as a flooding river could create a completely new channel, I hoped that maybe psychedelic therapy might allow me to build new patterns within myself. Mira listened and talked with me, openly and with compassion and understanding. She had me talk to the voice in my head (which we came to call "The Bullhorn") and helped me learn to use meditation and relaxation practices to interrupt the patterns that were so harmful to me. She worked with me before and after my psychedelic experiences to help me understand my own emotions and my connections with others. And she helped me find a medical professional who administered medicine that changed my life. I still struggle, of course. I never expected not to! But after working with Mira, I'm more patient, kind, understanding, and loving - to myself as well as to others in my life. For the first time I truly believe that I'm a worthwhile person and that I can enrich the lives of other people as well as enjoy my own. The work Mira guided me through was truly transformative, and I am grateful beyond words.”

–Sagan from Oregon

“One of the key reasons that I started working with Mira is because of her background in comparative literature. Her interest in work that moves beyond traditional linguistic, national, geographic, and disciplinary boundaries' through art and love resonated very deeply with me. Our work together felt like an embodied art piece. I was guided on a journey that was simultaneously deeply joyful, deeply scary and deeply light. It helped me understand how brave and strong I could be. Conversations and talks with Mira have been some of the most impactful work that I have ever done.”

–J from New York

“Mira guided me through a life-changing process. She helped me discover parts of my worldview I'd never known, examine them as products of my own mind, and let go of unhelpful or inhibiting thoughts. This process of self-actualization will never end for me, there will always be more work to do, but Mira was unique in her ability to show me mental doorways and offer me profound guidance on my journey.”

–Sarah from California

“It has been an absolute privilege to work with Mira. We first made contact during the pandemic, when I was experiencing compassion fatigue at my then-job as well as mounting anxiety around the specter of societal and ecological collapse. From the beginning, Mira's approach has been deeply warm and onward-leading, equally at home in the metaphysical and the personal. Our conversations feel permeated with the Buddhist notion of empty luminosity—the rich, dreamy quality of self-apparent "suchness." While I have worked with several spiritual mentors, I have met few who provide such safety and permeating intellect. I consider Mira's influence a guiding light in my life, leading to long-lasting perceptual shifts that have made meditation leap off the sitting cushion into my visual and auditory fields. I'd wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone with a gut feeling that it may be time to fall apart. After all: ‘The bad news is you're falling through the air, nothing to hang on to, no parachute. The good news is, there is no ground.’”
