When I first began working with Nicolette, I was deeply depressed and desperate for relief — something I had struggled with much of my life, but especially intensely at that time. Nothing had helped, despite trying many different treatments and approaches.

From our discovery call, I immediately felt that Nicolette was knowledgeable and caring. I began as a therapy client in her practice, doing ketamine-assisted therapy, and after several sessions, I felt my first real glimmer of hope. When I told Nicolette of my interest in psychedelic medicine, she referred me to the psilocybin center in Oregon where she had competed training.  I went there a month later. While I had a challenging journey, I do not regret it.  Nicolette suggested I record some of my reflections during the journey, and I'm so glad I did. Hearing the conviction in my own voice about changes I needed to make in my intimate relationship gave me the courage to follow through. My life is significantly better because of it.

I am doing my integration work with Nicolette through in her coaching capacity. My depression and anxiety have reduced to a fraction of what they once were. I am deeply grateful to have found a therapist and facilitator who is open, warm, and truly knowledgeable about non-ordinary states of consciousness and their healing potential. I’ve returned to my artwork, design work, and hiking — and I catch myself smiling again. Even my customers have noticed the difference.

I would not have believed this level of change was possible in just three months. I’m honestly not sure where I would be without this support. For anyone seeking a true professional who understands both psychedelics and mental health — or simply wants to grow — I wholeheartedly recommend Nicolette.  Don't enter this space without a guide!

What Nicolette offered me reaches further than anything I’ve ever received in a healing modality.  She helped me touch a truth so profound, I felt compelled to give voice to it in a public review.

My trauma had become disabling. At a loss, my therapist recommended I consider psychedelic therapy and reached out to Nicolette on my behalf, knowing of someone who had been expertly guided by her care. From the very beginning, Nicolette was thorough, attuned, and deeply conscientious about my safety.  Her expertise and compassionate approach made me feel safe and supported in making this difficult decision.

As part of my preparation, I went to an entheogen church for products and began a microdosing protocol while tapering my antidepressant medication.  I later experienced a ceremonial dose in another country, accompanied by Nicolette —an experience that was nothing short of life-changing. At its peak, I felt myself transcend the boundaries of ordinary consciousness. A revelation emerged: our egos, so often mistaken for our true selves, are like prisons—separating us from the deeper reality of oneness with everything.

Through integration work with Nicolette, I discovered the wisdom of a quieter ego. She introduced me to mindfulness meditation, and I’ve come to see that when the ego softens, it no longer demands recognition or control. Instead, it opens the door to compassion, creativity, and genuine connection.  The experience has been life-changing for me, and i attribute much of my success to Nicolette's attentive care and professional guidance on where to go and who to trust. I highly recommend her to anyone considering trying entheogens or looking for a caring provider and consultant to integrate their experiences.

I’m a busy executive—too busy, if I’m honest. I had been reading about psychedelic research for healing and personal growth, and I’d always been curious about what lies beyond ordinary consciousness. In the midst of that curiosity, I experienced a devastating loss and suddenly had no idea where to turn. A colleague had a life changing experience in her ketamine therapy practice, and suggested I contact Nicolette, and I can’t thank him—or her—enough.

I’m skeptical by nature, yet from our first conversation, I could feel how knowledgeable and grounded she is. During our consultations, she answered every question I had about the different psychedelics I’d read about or seen referenced in films and books. Her extensive background and psychedelic therapy training with the Integrative Psychiatry Institute immediately put me at ease.

Taking my personal history into account, Nicolette guided me toward the perfect retreat and the perfect setting—one held by a legal church that works with entheogens sacramentally. Given the loss I was carrying, I couldn’t have known how essential it would be to be held in a spiritual container for this work. Nicolette had the foresight, though, and I am forever grateful.  Don't hesitate to work with her!

My therapist referred me to Nicolette after I had a difficult psychedelic experience with a guide who did not know how to support me when a particularly painful memory resurfaced. Seeing panic in the guide’s eyes left me feeling deeply unsafe.

From the very first consultation, I felt immediately reassured by Nicolette’s competence and calm presence—as though she understood exactly what I had experienced. I chose to continue working with her as a therapy client in her practice and began ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.  I was able to complete the healing process that had been interrupted during my psychedelic journey, and I am no longer triggered by loud noises. She also thoughtfully supported me with microdosing after I legally obtained mushrooms through an entheogen church.

I genuinely feel that working with Nicolette changed—and may have even saved—my life.

 

"I can't say enough about the outstanding guidance I received from Nicolette. She helped me avoid a risky medication interaction that a facilitator did not mention. I'm so glad I consulted with her.  She even went above and beyond to accommodate me on short notice before I flew to Mexico for the retreat."

"I can't say enough about the wise console I received from Nicolette.  I was misinformed about some plant medicines and almost made a risky mistake.  Her guidance exceeded my expectations."

"You wouldn't climb a mountain without a knowledgeable guide.  Working with entheogens is similar - you need a guide to understand the terrain, where to step, which paths to avoid and what to take with you. Nicolette helped me make wiser decisions.
