Phyllis Moses

Phyllis Moses’ journey into plant medicine began in her teenage years, opening her to a profound sense of beauty, wellness, and spiritual connection that shaped the course of her life. Over a decade of exploring psychedelics eventually led her to Hawai’i, where she began cultivating psilocybin mushrooms. She went on to spend 21 years immersed in a vibrant multicultural community, getting her certification with the International Association of Yoga Therapy (C-IAYT), and where she met her Tibetan Buddhist teachers and her connection to sacred plant medicine and indigenous wisdom deepened.

Phyllis’ studies with indigenous cultures, also through some American travels, and Tibetan Buddhism transformed her understanding of the mind, inspiring her to weave together Eastern and Western perspectives in the healing arts. After relocating to the Pacific Northwest, she devoted more than three decades to her work as a yoga therapist and hypnotherapist. She has served in a wide range of settings—including hospitals, addiction recovery centers, corporations, and international retreats—bringing a trauma-informed, integrative approach to each.

In addition to her therapeutic work, Phyllis teaches a sacred dance practice rooted in Tibetan Buddhist traditions, blending mystical experience with evidence-based science. Besides adhering to her own deep personal work, Phyllis' extensive continued education includes certifications in Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy, Trauma-Sensitive Yoga, Neural Meditation, and Children’s Yoga. She was in the first cohort to be licensed in Oregon, and as a licensed Psilocybin Facilitator, she combines her deep knowledge of neuroscience, somatics, and the expanded states of psychedelics to guide meaningful, transformative healing journeys.

Phyllis brings compassionate presence and deep listening to her client sessions, supporting intention-setting, integration, and sustainable growth. Her work fosters self-compassion, mindfulness, and inner transformation. A devoted parent and grandparent, Phyllis brings a spirit of joy and playfulness to all that she does. When she’s not with family, she can be found hiking, swimming, cycling, creating collage or guiding movement meditation classes.

"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."

"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."

"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 🙏🏼"

"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!!"

"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."

"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."

"Today marks one year since my journey with psilocybin, and I’ve been reflecting on that day with reverence, humility, and no small measure of awe. I wanted to take a moment to thank you—not just for being present that day, but for all the work you put into preparing, holding space, and supporting me before, during, and after the experience.

As you may recall, I came to this with a deeply analytical background, and I chose to work with you in part because you see the world so differently than I do. That difference was precisely what I needed. You exposed me to preparation and integration practices I might otherwise have dismissed or overlooked—and for that I am sincerely grateful.

Most of all, I want to thank you for the way you honored the experience itself. You didn’t try to interpret it for me or overlay it with narratives that weren’t mine. You simply created a setting where the medicine could do what it needed to do. You helped me feel safe doing something that, at my core, I found uncomfortable. That sense of safety allowed me to let go.

The result? 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.

In fact, the clearest message of the journey—and perhaps its greatest gift—was a knowing that my role in this life is to love and care for my wife in a way I had never fully grasped before. Though I’d always believed I was a good partner, I now see that she, having come from a difficult childhood, needed something exceptional—something I was uniquely positioned to offer, but had failed to fully recognize. That day brought clarity, responsibility, and purpose. And for that, I remain profoundly grateful.

Personally, too, the transformation has not been subtle. I am more patient, forgiving, generous, and attuned—not merely in degree, but in kind. Where once I believed, I now know. And though my intellectual curiosity remains vibrant—I still explore metaphysics, philosophy of mind, analytic idealism, and even quantum theory—my inquiry now arises from reverence, not conquest. I’m no longer searching for hidden mechanisms within the imagined scaffolding of the material world. I am seeking to attune, not to dissect—to listen, not to explain.

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."
