Hope Grounded in Capacity

Before the Medicine

Coming October 1, 2026

Intake is open.

Trauma-Informed Preparation for Psychedelic-Assisted Healing

Prepare your mind, body and soul to heal with psychedelics.

including: Psilocybin, Ayahuasca, Ketamine, MDMA, LSD, Ibogaine. Whatever the medicine,

Before The Medicine creates the conditions for healing to happen.

You Already Feel It

The butterflies rise from your stomach into your chest. A tightness beneath your ribs. An anticipation you can't quite settle— because it isn't just excitement, and it isn't just fear. It's both, tangled together, and it's telling you something true: you're standing at a threshold.

You're ready for the transformation. You've heard what’s possible. For some of you, this feels like your last real hope for something deeper than coping. A chance to finally feel better. To stop feeling broken, stuck, and numb and finally feel good inside yourself. That's exactly why the butterflies are loud right now.

Yes, this is normal. And yes, there is support.

It's not really about the medicine.

At night, when the house goes quiet and there's nothing left to distract you, the questions start.

What if I lose control? What if something surfaces that I can't handle? What if this works for everyone else… and not for me?

On the surface, it sounds like nerves about being in an altered state of mind. But underneath, it's older than that. It's the same unease that's been running underneath your life for years:

Can I trust myself when it gets intense?

You already know this feeling. It's the version of you that goes quiet in the relationship instead of saying the true thing. That says yes when your body is screaming no. That stays busy — achieving, performing, managing — because stillness has a way of letting the buried things surface, and you've never been sure you could face what might come up.

You don't need someone to tell you that you're strong. You already know you're strong. What you're less sure of is whether you can stay — with yourself, with the intensity, with whatever the medicine brings up — without fragmenting, shutting down, or performing your way through it.

That's not a character flaw. That's patterns of survival meeting an experience it's not ready to hold.

And that can change.

Before The Medicine is where that changes.

Here you are, in the space before the medicine and I want to invite you in.

Before The Medicine is trauma-informed, holistic 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 the medicine saves you.

You can prepare.

And when you prepare:

Hope becomes grounded in capacity. Fear becomes information. Intensity becomes a welcomed opportunity — not a threat to survive.

The truth almost no one tells you

The plant opens the door. But you are the healer.

Self-trust is the foundation that lets you ride intense emotion back to regulation—the knowing that you will return to yourself. This and a compassionate relationship with key parts of you psyche, determines what you're able to receive when the door opens. And it determines what you can integrate once the music fades and you're back in your own bed with what happened.

Most people walk in with willingness and walk out with a story. A peak experience they talk about for a few weeks, that slowly fades back into the same patterns.

Fewer people walk out with a shift that settles into their bones.

The difference isn't the medicine. It's the capacity they brought to meet it.

And capacity can be built.

We set the conditions for success.

I've heard many stories of failed healings. People who were not prepared.

Some are unfortunate stories of “bad trips” but the worst are the stories of those who embarked courageously with their last hope and came home defeated, confused and fragmented. I know the courage it takes to say yes to deep healing and the disappointment, when it doesn’t work, breaks my heart.

Most preparation today—the checklists, the breathing exercises, the behavioral protocols—misses the point. What you actually need is internal capacity.

Which is why I believe so strongly in the power of preparation.

Meet Danae

Danae Jensen, RCT, CHt

Plant Medicine & Healing Guide

Fourteen 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 preparation didn't stop the intensity. But what made the intensity 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.It stopped me from fragmenting inside it. Because I'd practiced staying with myself, I could soften instead of fight. And in that softening, something reorganized. What could have been collapse became clarity.

Because I could stay in the dark, I found the diamond that changed my life.

Since then, I've deepened my training in trauma-informed somatics, Internal Family Systems, and subconscious re-patterning. Before The Medicine is the synthesis of everything I learned, including the preparation I received that helped me change my life forever.

My clients tell me they immediately feel calm and safe with me. This they never feel judged, so they are safe to tell me anything. That for the first time, they feel actually seen — not performed at, not managed - seen.

There's a spiritual undercurrent to how I work — call it witchy, call it intuitive, it's magic in the background, not the headline. What's at the front is thirteen years of clinical training in trauma and the subconscious, and a depression I lived through and found my way out of, in large part, through this medicine and this preparation.

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

How Before The Medicine Works

Immediately after enrolling:

Once you enroll, you receive a welcome email from me. On October 1st you will have instant 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.

6 months of learning and access:

You have instant access through a member portal to all content for 6 months starting October 1. The program is self-paced, supported with live monthly calls as touch-points. Inside the portal you move through structured subconscious preparation, nervous system regulation, intention setting, and self-hypnosis practice — building internal capacity step by step by simply following along module by module.

When you are ready for ceremony:

You are ready to receive the healing power of your psychedelic ceremony. You 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 preparation time together ends, you still have support.

You're not dropped the moment the program ends. The Integration area of the platform opens — giving you access to integration hypnosis track, mantras, and reflection prompts to support you after your experience. And, you are invited to continue in the monthly calls plus receive ongoing advice in our membership, A Mouth Full of Pentacles.

What Clients 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

...create an ambience conducive to transformation.

Being guided into my subconscious with beautiful visualizations, words, and gentle reminders felt deeply relaxing and empowering. Danae uses her soft voice and vibrational sound to deliver mindful messages of self-love and create an ambience conducive to transformation.

Is This For You?

This is for you if:

You have a psychedelic ceremony or session ahead of you — through a clinical pathway, a retreat, or your own arranged setting. You want to arrive resourced, not just brave
You're willing to do real inner work in the weeks before, not just show up on the day
You want a shift that settles into your life, not just a story you tell for a few weeks
You're drawn to hypnosis and parts work, even if you've never tried either before

This isn't for you if:

You're looking for someone to source or provide the medicine itself, Before The Medicine is preparation only. It does not include facilitation of a ceremony. If you haven't yet found your ceremony setting, we can chat (email [email protected]), but this container is built entirely around the readiness work
You're hoping the medicine will do all the work without any preparation on your part
You're not able to commit 45-minutes 3 times a week for five weeks of the process — this isn't designed to be rushed
Those experiencing active psychotic symptoms

The Cost of Waiting

Whether you're sitting in a clinical setting or a traditional ceremonial space, a psychedelic 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 — nothing can promise that — 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, and to keep it once you're home.

Before The Medicine runs live only twice a year — early fall and late winter, when people tend to be at their most introspective. If you're planning a ceremony in the coming months, this is your window.

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

Overview& Investment

Before the Medicine Includes:

Welcome orientation video

Delivered to your inbox the week before the program opens on October 1 so that you feel at home on the platform before you even begin.

6 live group monthly calls

So that you are fully supported in your preparation. This is a safe space for you to ask questions, be witnessed in anything that is coming up for you and be in community with others embarking on their healing.

Calls are one hour on the last Tuesday of every month at 4:00 PM PT / 7:00 PM EST.

Calls are conducted in "Sacred Space". That means that you are accepted as you are, however you are. And it means your level of participation is up to you. Join with your camera on or off. You may also send your questions to Danae in advance.

4 recorded teachings

Each recorded teaching gives you an easeful yet deep understanding of the next hypnosis session so that you feel confident stepping forward.

4 hypnosis audio sessions

Each hypnosis session builds on the last, giving you holistic, progressive preparation that is gentle on your nervous system.

Each hypnosis session is 30-45 minutes. You listen to each session at least 3 times before moving to the next. But, move at your own pace! You may find you want more time with one before moving on to the next. The process is part of how you're building self-trust and I am there to support you.

Reflections & insights workbook for each hypnosis session

Feedback from 5 years of running this program with my journey clients is compiled into these workbooks so that after each hypnosis session you can find meaning in your experience, feel comfortable in the sometimes slow unfolding of insights, and integrate new understandings into your life.

The cycle of experiencing, reflecting, and integrating mirrors that of a psychedelic journey giving you practice in the process you're about to step into.

Set & Setting module

Set refers to your mindset. Setting refers to the environment you're journeying in.

Set and setting are important because they deeply shape and amplify the nature of a psychoactive or psychedelic experience, determining whether it is healing and positive or distressing.

This module gives you everything you need to prepare for these conditions.

Integration module

Integration is where all the insights you learned in ceremony find their way into your daily life. You've transformed! Now, you get to create your life to align with your transformation.

This module guides you in that alignment.

It includes a teaching video, a beautiful Amplify hypnosis session, integration mantras, and workbooks for everyday integration plus challenging integration opportunities.

All 5 Bonuses

So that you are fully set with all the tools you need for a healing ceremony and beyond.

$1200 CAD

Payment Plans are available through Klarna and Affirm.

**Reach out for other arrangements.

My Heart Is With You

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.

Begin as you mean to continue.

Is there a guaantee?

My Promise and 100% Guarantee

I've been hard at work for many months putting 5 years of experience into this program. If you’re still reading and leaning in with excitement, I think this is for you! In order to help you feel more confident taking this next step forward, I would like to offer you a full money-back guarantee.

If you are unsatisfied with your purchase for any reason, I will refund your payment within the first 14 days of the program. Simply reach out and I will give you a full refund, no questions asked.

Can you promise results?

I can promise that every single person who has taken this program has seen a positive shift in their inner world. There are too many factors at play to promise exact results but I have never had a client have a bad psychedelic experience - even when things in ceremony were challenging for them to face.

Here are some of the shifts my clients experienced with Before the Medicine. Yes, these shifts happened BEFORE they even sat with pychedelics.

“The shifts I experienced were subtle—but powerful. I stopped rushing to numb my emotions with old habits and started letting them move through me. That changed everything."

“This journey gave me a sense of happiness and calm I didn’t expect."

“I didn’t come in with a clear goal—just a knowing that I needed something to shift. By the end, I uncovered a belief system I created when I was six..."

How much time do I need to commit?

The minimum time needed to receive the benefits of this program is 1 hour a day, 3 days a week for 4 weeks before your ceremony. Plus another 2 weeks after your ceremony.

I highly recommend giving yourself at least 5 days with each hypnosis session and even giving yourself 8 days on ones that you intuit you need more time with. The beauty of self-paced is that you can move at the pace that is right for you. This is not about rush. It's about presence.

What happends on the live calls?

This is a safe space for you to ask questions, be witnessed in anything that is coming up for you and be in community with others embarking on their healing. I answer your questions about the program content, I help you reflect on and feel into the meanings of your experiences with the hypnosis sessions, if your dreams are ramping up, which they often do in a healing container, we decode their messages, if old memories rise to the surface we work with them to follow what they are trying to tell you. If strong emotions are persisting, we work the part of you that is asking to be heard.

Calls are one hour on the last Tuesday of every month at 4:00 PM PT / 7:00 PM EST.

What if I can't be hypnotized?

Feeling like you cannot be hypnotized is very common, but true unhypnotizability is rare.

Many people expect to fall unconscious or lose awareness, but hypnosis actually feels like deep focus or daydreaming where you can still hear and think. Before The Medicine includes practical tips for easing into hypnosis and ensuring you experience hypnosis in the way that is right for you.

What if I need more support than the live calls?

I would be honoured to support you with private one-on-one sessions where we dive more deeply into your rich inner world, working with your parts, your psyche, and past experiences to clear blocks and limiting beliefs.

What if I've already done a psychedelic journey

If you've already done a psychedelic journey, I hope it was a meaningful experience for you. And, you are still welcomed in Before The Medicine where this time you will be more prepared to receive the medicine.

How do you protect my confidentiality?

Your personal information is never shared with anyone.

During live calls, you are welcome to keep your camera off and join anonymously. If you need help learning how to do this, just let me know.

What if I'm not ready to buy this now?

If you are planning to sit with psychedelics within the next 9 months and you want to get the most out of that experience then you cannot wait to buy this. Hypnosis is like training a muscle. The more you practice the stronger that muscle becomes. Before The Medicine gives you 6 months of training so that when you step into healing, you are equipped with the internal strength you need.

What happends when I finish Before The Medicine?

You're not dropped. You are invited into continuous support and advisory where you can get advice on real life situations that further opportunities for growth and integration. Integration becomes manifestation when done with soul and intention and I'm here to support you every step of the way.

What if I buy but then decide not to journey with psychedelics?

You may find that Before The Medicine is all the healing you need! For the past 5 years I've used it to prepare clients for ceremony but I've also guided dozens of live groups through this exact program as a stand-alone healing journey.

"For the first time in a long time, I could clear my mind and focus on my own well-being. This journey was absolutely worth every penny.”

"Not only did I learn a highly effective (and immediate) tool for relaxation, but I also began to experience real-world results related to my personal intention."

"This journey is a unique opportunity to dig deep into your mind and past, to release pain and disappointment, and to move toward your personal version of a glorious future. From tears to ecstatic joy."
