Brenna is an outstanding coach and my experience with her was incredible. I thoroughly enjoyed our weekly sessions via zoom and had a deeply grounding plant medicine ceremony. Brenna’s profound compassion and unique style of coaching coupled with her steadfast professionalism allowed me to feel totally comfortable. Without hesitation, I was naturally able to be honest and open with her about my issues. I started discovering myself, becoming more hopeful about the future and less fearful of the emotions that were surfacing in the process.During our weekly coaching sessions, Brenna focused on familiarizing herself with my past. She helped me pinpoint my intentions for what I wished to gain from the medicine ceremony and helped direct my focus by paying close attention to detail. Her use of Socratic questioning and other methodologies helped me understand why I was feeling the way I was. Our work inspired me to search within myself for the tools I need to work through my anxiety and depression.I then traveled from New Jersey to San Diego to work with Brenna for a weekend-long plant medicine ceremony. From start to finish, everything was completely taken care of to guarantee a stress-free experience. We stopped at Trader Joe’s, stocked up on food for the weekend and commenced on a 4 hour road-trip into the mountains. Our long drive gave me the opportunity to get to know Brenna and we talked about common musical interests, life events and some of the road blocks we have endured. Getting to know Brenna on a more personal level made me realize that part of her effectiveness as a clinician is due to the fact that she has a humanistic way of presenting herself. As soon as we arrived to the Airbnb, we cooked dinner and prepared food for the weekend, which helped further ease me into the process. Brenna made sure that many of my interests were incorporated into our medicine ceremony weekend such as hiking, relaxing, reading and listening to music, which made it feel all that much more relaxed and comfortable. On the day of my ceremony, I felt stressed and worried, since I was holding on to so many feelings of guilt and shame that I was scared to face. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but Brenna assured me that everything was okay and informed me that the medicine would be gentle and meet me where I was ready to be met. She couldn’t have been more on point with the way the medicine gently cradled me through the most beautiful and loving experience I have ever had. There was absolutely nothing scary about this experience and with the help of Brenna and her dedication to providing me with the proper mindset and physical/social environment to delve into this experience; I was able to  analyze and experience my life with a whole new perspective that welcomed and treasured pure love and happiness. I felt one with the earth and connected to everything as if I was a child again with a new set of eyes and a lack of preconceived notions. What intrigued me most about the medicine was its ability to go about answering some of my complex questions in simple ways. Not once during this experience was I scared or incoherent, I was one hundred percent aware that I was sitting in a room with Brenna and I was safe. Brenna sat beside me; observing, taking notes on my behavior and insights and took an audio recorded version of the session on my cell phone so I would be able to look back on them later and reflect on the experience. This mystical experience has relieved me of a lot of emotional weight I was carrying around with me for many years. I feel lighter and more optimistic since having this experience and I often reflect on its lessons when faced with a dilemma. For anyone struggling or just looking to try something different, I highly recommend Brenna’s services. I spent many years racking up a long list of therapists and psychiatrists that left me feeling like just another patient. I grew accustomed to feeling hopeless and empty until the pain became unbearable. Thanks to Brenna’s personalized and individualistic coaching techniques, our work together has had the strongest influence on me in the seventeen years I spent trying to benefit and heal via traditional therapy and medicine. Thanks, Brenna.

It is difficult to distill the impact Brenna has had on my life. While I had a scientific understanding of what could transpire, the actual experience transcended this intellectual backdrop. The journey itself was mystical and ineffable. The holistic effect was transformative- what has been described by others as a quantum event. I was imbued with an overwhelming sense of gratitude, compassion, joy and love. There is a lingering sensation of peace, lightness of spirit, interconnection and flow that had eluded me for many years. I have returned in the wake of this experience to a state of conscious awareness for which I am profoundly appreciative.

While the journey continues, I am thankful beyond measure for what I have in this moment. I admire Brenna’s devotion to providing the opportunity to access the “magic” of psilocybin. Brenna is a true healer, skilled in establishing a framework that maximizes the ability of psilocybin to catalyze restoration and reintegration. Brenna approaches her role with openness and a sense of partnership. Her message is always “this is your journey”. She dedicates herself to providing the support and guidance for your intentions to be fully realized.

Thank you Brenna for doing this for me.

I cannot overstate the impact my journey with Brenna has had on my laugh. This was the first time I worked with plant medicine and did not know what to expect. Brenna walked me through every step of the process and, in remarkably quick fashion, put me so at ease that I felt comfortable sharing with her every piece of what came up. She approached the whole process with genuine curiosity and without any judgment at all. This experience exposed parts of me that, it seems, had been wanting to speak out for a long time. And tapping into those has not only improved my own sense of well-being, but has had a significant impact on key relationships in my life. I am so grateful for Brenna and for this work.

I wasn’t sure what to anticipate, and I certainly wasn’t sure what I might find. Still, I was willing to give this new methodology a shot. Everyone desires happiness and some level of contentment. I realized that I never really found it (or at least I’d never fully realized it) until I met Brenna. Through her guidance and support, I discovered what it meant to fully be me authentically. Brenna seized the reins and led the way by establishing a comfortable “set & setting” . She created a space that was both emotionally and physically comfortable, allowing me to focus on myself within my journey. Throughout the experience – both pre and post journey – Brenna was a positive sounding board, always open and available, listening closely and allowing me to vocalize and examine my own personal circumstance. All of her comments and direction were delivered in a caring, positive, and constructive manner. A consummate professional, Brenna demonstrated skill and expertise though a precise and exacting manner, which allowed me to approach my journey with openness and without judgment.

Brenna is such an extraordinary healer and I am truly grateful for her guidance on my recent plant medicine journey! Her empathic nature, patience and knowledge gave me the courage to trust my own intuition and experience the gift of plant medicine.

Throughout our weekly meetings in Balboa Park, Brenna has helped me discover parts of my authentic self that I have been suppressing -mainly speaking my truth. With her guidance, I have been able to develop and manifest my intentions by disconnecting my logical mind and looking inward to rediscover the inherent knowledge that had been inside my soul all along.

Since this was the first plant medicine + journey work experience I’ve had, feeling safe was definitely a priority in seeking a guide. Fortunately, Brenna created an incredibly secure space for both of us to connect over the past 8 weeks. I’ve always felt comfortable and at ease while talking to her during our sessions. Her professionalism and attention to detail in ensuring that I felt secure and safe are impeccable.

During my journey, Brenna and her trusty intuitive dog, Mojo were by my side the entire time as support. She took detailed notes along the way and even typed them all out for me to keep afterwards. Since my journey, she has also continued to check in with me as I am integrating back into reality. I highly encourage anyone who is looking towards unlocking their true potential through journey work with plant medicine to connect with Brenna as this has been one of the most profound experiences of my life. I am finally speaking my truth and will be forever grateful for the opportunity to receive the medicine from such a gifted healer!

Thank you for this. I am finding myself more attuned to the beauty around me, a feeling that especially manifested in a wonderful recent drive to Palomar Mountain. The whole Pauma Valley was in bloom and drenched with the smells of spring and rebirth. I felt so grateful to learn of and be able to experience such places. More broadly, I have found my anger, fear and resentment have so receded since the journey, replaced with faith in myself (a radically new sensation) and trust in the process and the divine even in the face of uncertainty.

Brenna embodies Service Above Self. I jumped in with vulnerability and she reciprocated with safety, understanding, and insight. Her expertise and experience in therapy and plant medicine were evident and effective. My ceremony with Brenna supercharged the path of growth I've been traveling. I happen to be further along on life's journey (no longer so young) with a "successful” family and career, have engaged a fair share of personal and professional therapists, coaches and consultants, and have unequivocally recommended Brenna to my closest friends and family. Thank you, Brenna.

Every so often, you meet someone whose personality and career seamlessly collide. Brenna is one of these people. We’ve known one another for five years now, which means I’ve gotten to know her heart, and been witness to her grounded perception of the human condition. In the time that Brenna was my coach, she helped me work through problems I had been too afraid to face, even with my therapist. I was at a point in my life where I needed guidance, and she matched it tenfold with both empathy and knowledge. I implore anyone who is seeking more from life, whether it’s about finances, family, careers, or simply striving to better themselves, to take on that journey with Brenna as their coach and mentor.

In late 2021, I found myself alone in Colombia for a month. The pandemic caused several life-changing circumstances to occur. I felt the call to have a spiritual journey to answer questions and set straight the next stage in life that I entered. A friend/mentor/teacher connected me with three guides. And throughout one week, I arranged interviews. Brenna was the first. Immediately, I felt a connection through our shared views of plant medicine, consciousness, and our pasts in the corporate world. Though I chatted with the other guides, my intuition told me to go with Brenna. And she became the guide that I needed in this transition of my life.

Long before we met in person in December 2021, my journey with Brenna began in October. A week after our interview, she held a relaxed but thorough and professional intake session. Then, at least once every two weeks before our scheduled ceremony day, Brenna and I had a talk to discuss plans for our time together and feelings surrounding the undertaking. In this way, Brenna did her homework. All the while, Brenna kept my intentions in mind.

From preparation through integration, Brenna’s years of experience showed through her wide array of expertise and tools spanning multiple disciplines. In many ways, I gained a new perspective on spirituality and received an education beyond what the journey taught me. She asked the right questions at the right times and left me with rich resources (such as Yung Pueblo’s Inward).

When we finally met, Brenna established her ethics and explained her policies to me. Yet, she remained non-directive, non-judgemental, patient, and transparent. She made delicious meals and snacks, prepared her tools (e.g., scents, protocols, ornaments, music, flowers, and stones), and balanced between making the experience personal and collaborative.

What truly blew me away was how she demonstrated impeccable intuition. On the morning of the odyssey, Brenna brought me to a nearby beach. Little did I know that having gone there with her would prove useful as a grounding memory during difficult moments. Throughout the ceremony, she knew what to ask and suggest at the right moments. All the while, she balanced between taking care of herself and connecting with me. It was as if she could read my being and its needs. Brenna knew when to take the wheel and when to allow me to decide. In other words, Brenna really knows what she is doing.

One of my friends has told me that certain people in our lives give us perspective and level us when we find ourselves stuck in the clouds. He calls them “ground control”. Even months after the journey, Brenna is still a significant figure in my life. She is someone you want on your team to help to feel safe, heard, and human. Thank you for being a mentor, friend, and “ground control”, Brenna.

~Edmund T.

I’m so happy 🙂 the feeling of bliss and magic is gone, but the lesson was loud and clear. I love myself now and don’t judge myself for anything. I’m kind and considerate to myself and when I make a mistake I analyze it instead of torment myself for not being perfect. It’s like I gained a super power because now my thoughts are constructive and can focus on improving myself without the extra crap.

Brenna is a thoughtful, caring guide and my experience with her was positive and profound. I came to Brenna through a recommendation and at a point in my life where I was looking to do some deep inner work. I'd never experienced a journey from start to finish before connecting with Brenna. 

A big part of what made the entire experience so meaningful was the framework and attention provided by Brenna leading up to the journey. In addition to our zoom sessions, she provided writing exercises, reading materials, and thought-provoking questions that really aided my experience in a big way. I found this all meaningful and engaging and laid the groundwork for making the journey experience what it was. 

My journey ended up not turning out exactly as I envisioned it was, but it provided more meaning and insight than I could have imagined. 

Brenna is a genuine and attentive listener and supporter. I never felt as if she was trying to force any sort of experience but rather help whatever it was that was meant to unfold arise and be there to support it. The time we spent together the day before the journey and the morning of put me at ease and allowed me to really look forward to the experience. The altar setup was unique and played a really pivotal role in my experience. Further to that, since the journey, Brenna has been closely involved with me in integration and sharing additional resources as she's been in tune with my interests and curiosity surrounding the space. 

All in all, I'd highly recommend working with Brenna if this is something you're feeling called to do. She's professional, attentive, a strong listener, and a caring guide. Two thumbs up.

~David W.

My journey with Brenna was life changing. By working with me beforehand to prepare and set intentions and also afterward for integration, she created a very safe and nurturing experience. During the session itself, she held space in an adept and skillful way which allowed me to go deep and do some important work. I discovered a whole other way of being in the world and a new understanding of my reality. I'm incredibly grateful for this experience and know that its reverberations will continue to transform how I live my life.

I connected with Brenna after experiencing a traumatic event that had caused great disruption and distress in my daily life. During the first session I could immediately feel her empathy, compassion and our shared humanity through the tone of her voice and her patience while hearing my story. Her support felt like a cloud of peace and serenity that i hadn't experienced in my life before. Through continued sessions, she and I were able to build a beautiful connection and  turn what was initially a terrifying event, into a great opportunity for exploration and bravery.  Brenna's attention to detail and informed suggestions allowed me to integrate our experiences together into my daily life, and made me feel so taken care of during a time where I had nearly lost all hope.

If you are struggling in this world and need a safe place to land, or simply aren't seeing the benefits from traditional models of therapy, Brenna will make you feel safe, loved and heard, while gently showing you the power you have within yourself to build a new reality that is bright. She is pure magic.
