Episode 41 || Plant Medicine Part 2 - From A Holistic Nurse Practitioner’s Point of View

How would I describe my plant medicine experience? Have you ever met God in a 3 day weekend? 

My experience(s) with plant medicine have been the most profound of my life. Particularly, the most beautiful experience I’ve had I share with you during this episode.

I break down the science and the studies in PART ONE so make sure to listen if you haven’t yet! It’s incredibly important to understand these compounds for ourselves and not be coerced into an experience that may not be right for us.

My experience was anything unlike I could have ever asked for.

Into the depths of pain, then lifted into the heavens of beauty.

I share the synchronicities, the miracles, and the messy in this episode PART TWO with you this week!

If you’re desiring a little slice of heaven in your earbuds.. 

Just press play!
