A: Our protocol draws from Johns Hopkins research on psilocybin for PTSD (2021), MAPS clinical trials on psychedelic-assisted therapy, and Mexico's UNAM studies on traditional mushroom use.Q: How do you handle integration after the retreat?
A: Beyond the initial guidance, we offer optional add-ons including 3x Zoom integration sessions ($250), 30-day integration workbook ($49), and private community forum (free).Q: Why choose Cabo over other destinations?
A: Cabo provides optimal setting with oceanfront tranquility plus desert solitude, direct flights from 28+ U.S. cities, safer tourist corridor versus rural alternatives, and strong cultural ties to ancestral mushroom practices.Q: What exactly is psilocybin therapy?
A: Psilocybin therapy is a guided treatment using psilocybin mushrooms designed for healing treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, and trauma. I've crafted this experience to combine expert guidance, a safe environment, and the proven power of psilocybin to help you break free from depression and reclaim your life.Q: Is this really effective for treatment-resistant depression?
A: Yes. Johns Hopkins research shows 67% of participants experienced significant depression relief, with 80% maintaining improvements long-term. This treatment works when traditional therapy and medications have failed. The effects can last months or even years from just one or two sessions.Q: Will this interfere with my current therapy or treatment?
A: No, psilocybin therapy complements traditional treatment. Many clients continue their regular therapy while doing sessions. We'll work with your existing healthcare providers to ensure everything works together safely for your recovery.Q: Is there follow-up support after the session?
A: Absolutely. Post-session integration is crucial to lasting healing. We'll discuss your insights, experiences, and breakthroughs that emerged. This helps translate your session into meaningful, lasting relief from depression. Additional follow-up sessions are available if you want more integration support.Q: Can I choose where my session takes place?
A: Yes, you can choose from several treatment locations in Cabo San Lucas. Each offers a unique, safe environment based on your comfort and preferences. The right setting creates a foundation of safety and tranquility essential for your healing.Q: How long does a session last?
A: A typical session is a one-day experience. The psilocybin effects generally last 4-8 hours (typically 11am-7pm), but you should set aside a full day for preparation, the treatment itself, and our integration discussion afterwards.Q: How should I prepare for my session?
A: Preparation involves both mental and physical readiness. You'll reflect on your healing intentions, complete a health history form, and follow specific dietary recommendations. Keep your schedule calm, avoid alcohol and other substances for at least 24 hours before, and make sure you're well-rested and hydrated.Q: What about transportation to and from the session?
A: Arrange to be dropped off and picked up - driving after the session isn't safe due to psilocybin's effects. Have your transportation planned beforehand to ensure both safety and peace of mind.Q: Can I leave immediately after my session?
A: I strongly advise against driving or leaving on your own right after your treatment. For hotel sessions, I encourage staying overnight to allow for a gradual, comfortable transition back to your routine the next day.Q: Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?
A: Absolutely. Just let me know about any dietary needs in advance, and I'll make sure your post-session meal works for you.Q: Can someone accompany me during my session?
A: Sessions are typically individual experiences, but if having someone nearby would make you more comfortable, we can arrange for a trusted friend or family member to be present at the location (though not participating directly in your treatment).Q: What should I wear?
A: Comfort is key. Wear comfortable, warm clothes since your body tends to cool down during the psilocybin experience.Q: How long will it take to notice changes in my depression?
A: It varies. Some people report immediate relief and transformation, while for others, improvements unfold over weeks or months. Many notice changes in mood, sleep, and outlook within days. Give yourself time to process your experience - there's no right timeline for healing.Q: How do I schedule an initial consultation?
A: Fill out the contact form on this page, email me, or send a text/call if you have my contact details. Our initial consultation is where we'll discuss your depression history, address any concerns, and determine if this treatment is right for your healing journey.Q: Can I do this if I'm on antidepressants or other medications?
A: Some medications interact with psilocybin, so it's crucial to disclose everything you're taking during our screening. In many cases, we can work with you to safely adjust medications before treatment. We may recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before moving forward.Q: Can I do this if I've never used psychedelics before?
A: Absolutely. This treatment welcomes both experienced users and first-timers. I'll tailor the experience to your familiarity level and ensure you're well-prepared and supported throughout your healing journey.Q: What dosage of psilocybin will I receive?
A: Dosages typically range from 3-8 grams, carefully calibrated to your experience level, depression severity, and physiology. First-time participants usually start with a moderate dose, while those seeking deeper healing might receive more. We'll discuss the right amount for your specific treatment during our consultation.Q: How do you handle medical emergencies?
A: While true medical emergencies are extremely rare with properly screened participants, I maintain emergency protocols for all sessions and have established procedures for contacting local emergency services if needed.Q: What if I'm severely depressed or suicidal?
A: If you're currently experiencing suicidal thoughts, we'll need to stabilize your immediate safety first through traditional medical care. Once you're in a safer place mentally, psilocybin therapy can be incredibly effective for severe depression. We'll work with your mental health team to determine the right timing.Q: Is this covered by insurance?
A: Currently, insurance doesn't cover psilocybin therapy since it's not yet FDA-approved. However, many clients find the investment worthwhile given the lasting results compared to years of traditional treatment costs. We can discuss payment options during your consultation.Q: Who oversees the therapy sessions?
A: I personally guide each session with years of experience in psychedelic-assisted healing. I focus on creating a safe, supportive environment throughout your journey and stay with you for the entire experience.Q: What scientific evidence supports your approach?

We'll discuss the right amount for your specific treatment during our consultation.Q: What if I have a panic attack during my session?
A: I've studied crisis management and grounding techniques specifically for challenging psilocybin experiences. I stay with you throughout the entire session and have proven methods to help you through panic, anxiety, or overwhelming moments. These challenging experiences often lead to the greatest breakthroughs when properly supported.Q: What if the psilocybin doesn't work and nothing happens?
A: With proper dosing (3-8 grams based on your needs), you will have an experience. I carefully calibrate doses based on your depression severity, body weight, and experience level to ensure therapeutic effects. If you're concerned about tolerance from medications, we address this during health screening.Q: What if I can't integrate my experience into real life changes?
A: Initial integration guidance is included in your session, and I provide basic support to help translate insights into lasting depression relief. Many clients find integration is where the real transformation happens. I offer additional integration sessions for an extra fee if you need more ongoing support as you rebuild your life free from depression.Q: How does the cost compare to other psilocybin therapy programs?
A: SoulHeal sessions start at $1,500, which is approximately one-third the cost of comparable programs in Netherlands or Oregon. Many clients find this investment worthwhile given the lasting results compared to years of traditional treatment costs.Q: How quickly can I schedule a session?
A: Availability is typically within 2-4 weeks, compared to 6+ months waitlists at other established programs. I currently accept a limited number of new clients per month to ensure personalized attention.Q: What makes Cabo San Lucas a good location for this work?
A: Cabo offers direct flights from 28+ U.S. cities, safer tourist infrastructure than rural alternatives, legal compliance under Mexico's traditional ceremonial framework, and a naturally healing environment with ocean and desert tranquility that supports profound inner work.Q: Do I need to arrange my own travel to Cabo?
A: You'll arrange your own flights to Cabo San Lucas. However, your session includes one night accommodation and airport pickup/transportation - I handle those logistics to make it as affordable and seamless as possible. Extended stays are available for an additional cost if you'd like more time in Cabo.
