John has had the distinct privilege of helping and healing those in need for over two decades in the healing arts.

During this time, after dedicating his life to the art and science of medicine, he felt called to put the scalpel down and find a new way to heal.

Relying on his deep experience in all contexts of trauma, as well as his own journey through self-healing, he is able to apply the wisdom learned and earned from both professional and personal experiences to support every client’s healing journey. He continues to develop his work as a psychedelic healer, his healing framework and training curriculum for both clients and providers. His unique and humanistic approach lies at the intersection of medicine and mysticism and offers a pragmatic and accessible way to start your healing journey.
