My life was transformed. That day last July shifted something foundational—not just in me, but in my relationship with my wife. After 34 years of marriage, the past twelve months have been the most openhearted, joy-filled, and deeply connected of our lives. We are, quite literally, not the same couple we were before. It's as if a new dimension opened up between us—one filled with wonder, tenderness, and delight. While I continue to make meaning of the experience in my own way, I recognize that such moments rarely unfold without care and intention. You were the one who held the space in which this threshold could be crossed. For that, I thank you—deeply. It was not a moment of learning, but of remembering. And that remembering continues still.

Dear Phyllis, Thank you for your walking beside me in this journey. Even when we met with some resistance, I felt your care, and intention. I’m grateful for the understanding we reached and the respect we share as fellow travelers.

Compassionate and professional, Phyllis was my personal sherpa, (a Himalayan term for a mountain guide that climbs beside a member, and helps with the trek) guiding me without leading. I can't imagine better support on my journey of exploration. I definitely felt a positive difference even though I couldn't quite put my finger on it. I finally decided to explain to people that "I no longer feel like I was being chased by a tiger.

Many thanks for facilitating my journey. I’m much more in the present and the anger I carried for decades is gone. I love the experience you have to know what I needed to prepare me for, during and after my journey. One of the best things for me was you echoed what all the mental health therapists have told me over the last 30 years, and I could visualize your words of wisdom. So grateful the universe matched us up! Thank you + Big Hugs!!

I can't thank you enough for your incredible caring and kindness - I don't think I've felt that someone has held space for me in that way for ages! It is not an exaggeration to share it felt life changing. Thank you for being an incredible guide. I feel so much a sense of renewed hope. With much gratitude, hope and love 🙏🏼

Phyllis was exactly what I needed for my journey. She was there for me when I was scared to take the medicine and she also chose the perfect strain for me. She listened to me in our sessions leading up to the journey and chose Golden Teacher. It was perfect! Phyllis was wonderful throughout my journey too. She hugged me when I needed it, held my hand, and emotionally there for me too.

Phyllis was very patient and compassionate. I was having a tough time with fear before the journey started and she patiently sat with me and did not carry any expectations for how the rest of the day would go. She made herself available several hours after I left the facility when I was struggling to believe anything happening around me was happening in the physical world.
