Before The Medicine

Next cohort begins October 1, 2026

Applications are open.

A Guided Pathway to Prepare Mind, Body, and Spirit for Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy

Here you are in the space before the medicine. You feel the butterflies rise from your stomach into your chest — a tightness beneath your ribs, a hum of anticipation in the forefront of your mind.

You’re ready for the transformation - the change you’ve heard is possible. It might even feel like your last hope for something deeper than coping. A chance to stop circling the same patterns and finally move through them. And that’s exactly why the butterflies are loud now. Yes, this is normal and yes, there is support.

I want to invite you into Before The Medicine — a trauma-informed preparation designed to help you build the inner stability and self-trust required to meet psychedelic healing with steady calm, clarity, and courage.

You don’t have to force confidence.

You don’t have to override your fear.

You don’t have to walk in hoping it saves you.

You can prepare.

And when you prepare, hope becomes grounded in capacity.

Fear becomes information.

And intensity becomes a welcomed opportunity.

The truth is healing doesn’t begin in ceremony.

It begins when you notice a part of you wants to cancel while another part wants to leap in — and you choose to meet that fear with preparation instead of force.

You’re either already committed or very close. You’ve read the stories. You’ve felt the call. You want the shift.

And yet, at night — when the house is quiet and there’s nothing left to distract you — your mind starts to worry...

“What if I lose control?”

“What if something surfaces that I can’t handle?”

“What if this works for everyone else… but not for me?”

On the surface, it sounds like nerves. But underneath, it’s a deeper fear: “What if I can’t trust myself under intensity?”

It’s not really about the medicine. It’s about whether you believe you can stay with yourself when intensity rises. Because what you truly want isn’t just a powerful experience — you want to return different in a way that lasts.

Not a peak moment you talk about for a few weeks.

Not a story to tell.

But a shift that settles into your bones.

It's an honest question that I wish more people about to partake would ask themselves. The fact that you’re asking means you desire the responsible use of reverent plant medicine and that you love yourself enough to ensure it.

How Before The Medicine Works

Plant Medicine & Healing Guide

Thirteen years ago, I began studying hypnosis.

At the time, I was a high-functioning financial analyst in the corporate world and a new mom. I was also deeply depressed, numb and disconnected. I could achieve. I could perform. But I couldn’t feel fully alive.

When I said yes to plant medicine, I was desperate for change — and terrified. My greatest fear wasn’t the experience itself. It was that I would come home to the same life, the same thoughts, the same disconnected depression.

So I used my hypnosis training to prepare my psyche.

I worked with my inner parts. I regulated my nervous system. I began deep introspection. I strengthened my relationship with my intuition so I would recognize truth when it arose.

I didn’t realize then how essential that preparation would be.

The ceremony was powerful — the room dim, the air thick with anticipation, my heart louder than the music. But what made it transformative was that I knew how to stay with myself inside it. I knew how to trust what I was experiencing instead of resisting it.

My ceremony began with me laying on bed, the scent of burned sage lingering in the air, trying to figure out how to do this “right”. How to get to the root. I was so determined that I forced it forward. It felt like the ground of my psyche came up and hit me in the face. I was thrown directly into the root cause of my suffering. It was deeply intense.

The preparation didn’t stop the intensity. It stopped me from fragmenting inside it. Because I had practiced staying with myself, I could soften instead of fight. And in that softening, something reorganized. What felt like collapse became clarity.

Because I could stay in the discomfort of darkness, I found the diamond that changed my life.

What I learned that day is this:

The plant opens the door.

But you… you are the medicine.

Which means your capacity determines what you can receive — and what you can integrate when the music fades and you’re back in your own bed.

That capacity can be built.

Since that day, I’ve deepened my study in trauma-informed somatics, Internal Family Systems, and subconscious re-patterning. Before The Medicine is the synthesis of that training — and the preparation I wish everyone had before stepping into deep psychedelic work.

If you’re standing at this threshold, this is where we begin.

How Before The Medicine Works

Before

Once you enroll, you receive a welcome package with access to the private training portal, a short tutorial on how to navigate the platform, and calendar invitations for all live group calls. You don’t need prior experience with hypnosis or parts work — just a quiet space and a willingness to begin.

During

The program unfolds over five weeks.

Each week includes one live group call and one recorded teaching with a guided hypnosis session. We begin together with a live orientation to set the foundation and introduce the work. Over the following weeks, you’ll move through structured subconscious preparation, nervous system regulation, intention setting, and self-hypnosis practice — building internal capacity step by step.

In the final week, we gather for practical journey preparation — food, clothing, packing, and refining your intention — along with a closing ceremony.

After

You are ready to receive the healing power of your psychedelic ceremony. You will have already begun the inner work. You know how to recognize your parts, regulate your system, access your deeper Self, and stay with yourself under intensity — you are prepared. And, even though our time together ends, you still have support. The Integration area of the platform opens — giving you access to integration hypnosis track, mantras, and reflection prompts to support you after your experience.

What Others Say

I was able to settle into a place of trust and openness, making the calling for the plant medicine very real

"The hypnosis journey with Danae set the stage for being open and ready to receive the plant medicine. Throughout the hypnosis journey I was able to settle into a place of trust and openness, making the calling for the plant medicine very real and very present. It was a natural progression… hypnosis journey to hero’s journey. Both together, made for a transformative experience, reminding me of who I really am and what I am here to do. I am very thankful to Dane for being the person that she is, holding space, holding the mirror, and being a tap to inner wisdom and calling." - Pilar

I now feel armed with tools and strategies to face life’s uncertainties with the comfort and peace I’d been longing for.

“I highly recommend this journey for anyone—it’s the best gift you can give yourself, and essentially, to the world. Danae’s consistently graceful and soothing tone throughout the sessions created the perfect atmosphere for my healing and growth. Danae was always available to support me through tough moments or simply listen to my experience. Because of this journey, I now feel armed with tools and strategies to face life’s uncertainties with the comfort and peace I’d been longing for." - Cally

The Cost of Waiting

Whether you’re sitting in a clinical setting or a traditional ceremonial space, a plant medicine ceremony is a meaningful investment of time, money, and emotional energy. You’re stepping into something powerful because you want real change.

If you’re going to take that step, it deserves preparation.

Not to guarantee an outcome — but to give yourself the strongest internal foundation possible. The more open, connected, and internally resourced you are going in, the more capacity you have to receive what arises.

Before The Medicine is offered live only twice per year - early fall and late winter when people are most introspective. If you’re planning for ceremony in the coming months, this is your opportunity to prepare in a structured, supported way.

This isn’t about extracting more from the experience. It’s about not leaving insight behind because your system wasn’t ready to hold it.

The next step is powerful - Join me in Before the Medicine.

A personalized reflection on how your unique energetic design processes intensity and surrender — offering permission to approach this journey in a way that truly fits you.

P.S. Ceremony is not casual. It sets in motion a Divine unfolding that asks something big of you. Preparing isn’t about doing more — it’s about becoming the person who can meet what arises without fragmenting. If this journey matters to you, let’s honour it.

P.S.S Begin as you mean to continue.

So much love to you.
