Hi, I’m Tracey! I’m married to my husband Justin of 21 years, and together we two awesome adult children! Our daughter’s a Miami City Ballet dancer, and our son’s graduating highschool to attend Uof O. Originally I grew up in West Marin County California, surrounded by lots of nature. My first introduction to mushrooms was through my best friend in the Summer before High School. This was so life-changing, my first real spiritual awakening. It was my last year of HS when I was invited to participate in a peyote ceremony that would be an initiation to completely transform my life from one of depression and dissociation to love and self-actualization.

I went to college in Santa Barbara and then San Francisco. In 2003, before graduating from SFSU, I traveled to Manaus brazil, partaking in one of the first group ayahuasca ceremonies led by Silvia Polovoy, a female pioner in serving mother medicine. She owns and operates the Spirit Vine Ayahuasca Retreat Center, which are trans-denominational ceremonies for all walks of life. It was at her healing retreat that my passion for spiritual development and journeying with psychedelic plant medicine was ignited. It was during a ceremony where I saw my future progression, seeing my daughter before she was born, and learning one of my purposes was psychedelic facilitation. Aya has been my ancestral healer, as with all telepathic medicines the most important part of resolving life’s problems is one’s intention going into the journey. It’s been my dream for two decades to be able to finally legally help people get answers, resolving and healing wounds and trauma.

After getting my BS in Kinesiology, Human Movement Studies, and working as a Physical Therapy Aide practicing upledger’s CranioSacral Therapy Technique, I also studied herbal plant medicine. After some time spent with Juliette de Baïracli Levy, I was inspired to go to naturopathic medical school. My husband and I moved to Portland Oregon where I was to attend, but instead, I became a Clinical Herbalist. I attended The Traditional School of Western Herbalism (aka Vital Ways Institute) and discovered I could help countless people overcome acute and chronic ailments, that conventional medicine failed to resolve. I’ve worked in informal settings, wellness departments, and medical clinics. Healing with plants, fungi, cacti, and ayahuasca has been a lifelong path on the journey to becoming a facilitator of psychedelic medicine- for those stuck in their path. I have also attended several workshops at The Foundation for Shamanic Studies with Michael Harner and Sandra Ingerman. I also had the honor of receiving a shamanic healing from Don Alverto Taxo, given the highest honor of Master Iachak by the Shamanic Council of South America.

In 2007 my husband and I went to visit Paul Stamets for his Stamets Cultivation Seminar to learn how to grow medicinal mushrooms. Growing mushrooms is a passion, so throughout the pandemic, I micro-dosed psilocybin to deal with the stress that came with all of the division. Fast forward to October of 2022 when I began Innertrek; I’ve since graduated and have been licensed by the state of Oregon to be a state-licensed practitioner of Psilocybin-Assisted Therapy. I’m also an Educator at The Changa Institute, and I’m teaching the skills of Preparation, Individual and Group Facilitation, as well as Integration coaching and support.

Since getting my license in 2023, I’ve served over 50 wonderful people in their personal growth. To be a trusted witness to what clients discover about themselves is the highest honor and joy. I love helping people feel safe to be in their feelings, that have otherwise been suppressed or numbed out with addictions. While we can not repair what others have done, it is our responsibility to heal ourselves no matter what. Mushrooms have always aided our emotional and spiritual maturation, repairing our relationship with ourselves and therefore our loved ones. This has been done historically in community ceremonies because people rarely heal in isolation. If you are in need of some healing, please reach out so we can figure out the best course of action even if this is not the right modality.
