Hello, I’m Shauna Gourley, and since 2012, I’ve had the honor of guiding clients towards wholeness through my holistic wellness practice. My journey as a spiritual seeker has led me to explore the profound realms of psychedelic medicines, beginning with my research in 2015.

In 2018, I embarked on a transformative path with Ayahuasca, participating in sacred ceremonies that profoundly deepened my understanding of healing and spirituality. This journey continued with both microdosing and macrodosing sessions involving psilocybin and DMT, enhancing my personal and professional growth.

A life-altering event in 2022 introduced me to the heart-healing capabilities of MDMA, which inspired me to further my education. I completed specialized training in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy, integrating these potent medicines into my therapeutic toolkit. Together with my professionally trained partners, we now offer a sanctuary where individuals can safely explore these sacred substances, focusing on thorough preparation and integration as integral components of the healing process.

Over the years, working with numerous clients across various modalities, I’ve observed a universal challenge: the pervasive sense of disconnection. Many of us grapple with feelings of alienation from life itself, unsure of our identity and purpose, often caught in a cycle of external pursuits that fail to quench our inner thirst. This disconnection manifests not just in personal stress, disease, and addiction, but significantly affects our relationships.

As a coach specializing in Human Potential and Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy, I help clients navigate towards alignment with their true selves by releasing the blockages and resistance that hinder their full potential. My mission is to foster a deeper connection within, transforming personal struggles into pathways for growth and fulfillment. Link to book a complimentary call.

Helow, I am Leslie Grover. I am a Creative Arts Therapist and combine my skills using creative and experiential modalities to assist clients in individual and group settings. My approach is inquiry-based, and I, as your companion, and you, as the inquirer, work together in the relational space, allowing for a rich co-creation to emerge.

As someone who appreciates working holistically with clients, I recently completed my Psychedelic Assisted Therapy certification and work with people who want to try a different approach to learning more about who they are by using creative and experiential modalities to understand and integrate their experiences. There is a rich tapestry of inner knowing with this exploring and having access to different ways of making meaning allows for a deeper and more expansive understanding of your experience.

Most of my education has been completed in Australia through the lens of experiencing and creating. I am a master’s Candidate with MIECAT and continue to work with clients in my private practice in Cochrane, Alberta, as well as Online, as we meet together in the space with curiosity and wonder.

You can find more information about me and how I work with clients on my website, Humanessense I nc. If you would like to book an intro call, please use my link here.

I’m David Harder, and I had the joy of being the founder and former CEO of ATMA Journey Centers, a pioneering organization in Canada dedicated to providing innovative healing treatments through psychedelic-assisted therapy. ATMA Journey Centers became the first private company in Canada to legally administer psilocybin-assisted therapy to a palliative care patient, marking a significant milestone in the field.

In addition to my work with ATMA, I launched and ran Catalyst Psychedelic Conference, and more recently launched a new initiative called Sovereign Minds.

My commitment to advancing psychedelic therapy and understanding the need for personal inner work, and then being in a place to show up in relationships, is further demonstrated by my personal journey over the last few years in diving deep into personal shadow work.

Beyond my professional endeavours, I want to be known for a compassionate approach and dedication to expanding consciousness and waking up to the joy that comes from understanding our spiritual existence regardless of the external pressures and curve balls life can throw at us.
