This work is not a one-time experience. It is a carefully held process designed to support meaningful, sustainable transformation through safety, connection, and integration.

Two Preparation Sessions

We co-create a safe, grounded space by exploring your history, current mental and physical health, and intentions. Trust-building, education, and establishing protocols are central to this phase.

One Assisted Journey

A 4–6 hour guided session held in a nurturing, secure setting. I hold space with grounded presence and intuitive care, attuned to your needs and centered around your previously set intentions.

One Integration Session

We reflect on your journey, process emergent insights, and explore how to integrate these into your daily life with clarity and purpose.

One Follow-Up Session (6 weeks later)

A check-in to assess how your integration is unfolding in your real-world environment. We re-evaluate support systems and explore next steps if needed.

Access: Jackie’s services are available exclusively by word-of-mouth referral or by joining a limited waiting list.

Jackie has been trained in EMBARK, a comprehensive, research-based model for psychedelic-assisted therapy emphasizing safety, ethics, and whole-person care. It integrates six clinical domains and four core ethical principles:

Existential-Spiritual Domain

Psychedelic experiences often awaken profound spiritual or existential insights. We make space for these—without imposing any particular worldview. Whether through feelings of connection to something greater, a renewed sense of purpose, or contact with ancestral or cultural wisdom, this domain acknowledges the soul-level transformations that may arise.
Training by Dr. Alex Belser

Mindfulness Domain

It’s both a practice and a presence. It refers to the developing ability to observe our inner world without judgment, as well as the facilitator’s capacity to maintain attuned, grounded awareness. This domain helps recognizing internal narratives, surfacing unconscious material, and cultivating self-compassion throughout their process.
Training by Dr. Tony Back and Dr. Alex Kelman

Psychedelic work is often deeply embodied. This honors the sensations, movements, and physical expressions that may arise during sessions. Jackie is trained to know how to help clients anchor themselves somatically, navigate discomfort safely, and integrate somatic insight—supporting nervous system regulation and emotional release.
Training by Manuela Mischke-Reeds, LMFT

Body-Aware Domain

The EMBARK Framework

Affective-Cognitive Domain

This addresses the emotional and cognitive material that often becomes accessible under the influence of psychedelic medicine. Jackie helps to work skillfully with emotions like grief, anger, joy, or fear, as well as exploring limiting beliefs, trauma-based patterns, and unprocessed memories. The aim is to support the transformation of maladaptive emotions and foster healthier emotional resilience and thought patterns.
Training by Dr. Adele Lafrance

Relational Domain

Healing happens in relationships. Here, we look at the evolving dynamics between the client and key figures in their life—including the facilitator. This domain invites a deeper exploration of trust, boundaries, attachment, and love in both the therapeutic relationship and beyond.
Training by Dr. Jeffrey Guss

Transformation doesn’t end with the journey—it begins there. This domain emphasizes sustainable integration and long-term change. Clients are supported in developing habits, setting goals, and navigating post-journey challenges as they reenter their daily lives with new insights. Training by Dr. Bill Brennan

Keeping Momentum Domain

Ethically Rigorous Care

Psychedelic therapy requires an advanced ethical awareness due to the heightened vulnerability and suggestibility that can occur during sessions. This principle addresses the importance of maintaining appropriate therapeutic boundaries, power dynamics, confidentiality, and consent. We understand how to navigate gray areas and respond to ethical challenges with maturity and professionalism.
Trainer: Dr. Bill Brennan

Trauma-Informed Care

Recognizes that many individuals come with complex histories of emotional, physical, or relational trauma. We emphasize practices that prioritize emotional safety, nervous system regulation, and careful pacing. We recognize trauma responses and avoid re-traumatization during and after psychedelic experiences.
Trainer: Marcela Ot’alora G., MA

The Four Care Cornerstones of the EMBARK Model

Culturally Competent Care

Healing is not one-size-fits-all. This cornerstone emphasizes sensitivity to the participant’s background, lived experience, and identity. Cultural humility and awareness of race, gender, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality are essential. We actively examine our own biases and engage in ongoing learning to provide attuned, inclusive care.
Trainer: Dr. NiCole T. Buchanan

Collective Care

This principle recognizes that personal healing is deeply influenced by the larger social, economic, and political systems we live within. We understand how systemic injustices and structural inequities contribute to individual suffering—and how to respond with compassion, advocacy, and community-minded solutions.
Trainer: Florie St. Aime, LCSW
