You found this page because something about plant medicine is calling to you. Maybe you’ve already sat with a substance and you’re trying to make sense of what happened. Maybe you’ve been curious for years but the stigma has held you back. Maybe you’re a clinician watching the research pile up and wondering what it means for your patients. Cannabis, psilocybin, cacao, and other plant medicines have been used for thousands of years as tools for healing. My work in this space is grounded in neuroscience, shaped by a decade of facilitation practice, and built on the understanding that a plant is a tool, not a shortcut. What matters is what you do with the door it opens.
Plant medicine is a broad term. Becca’s work focuses on the areas where she has direct training, years of facilitation experience, and an evidence base to draw on. From the endocannabinoid system and its role in emotional regulation, to psilocybin’s measurable effects on the Default Mode Network, to the emerging science of microdosing, each of these paths has its own mechanism, its own preparation, and its own integration work.

This is the section that matters most on this page. The general public still carries a perception of plant medicine shaped by decades of prohibition and misinformation. The reality is different. Psilocybin is now in Phase II and III clinical trials at Johns Hopkins, Imperial College London, and NYU. Cannabis-assisted therapy is being studied for PTSD, chronic pain, and Anxiety disorders. The FDA has granted breakthrough therapy designation to psilocybin twice.
My multidisciplinary practice – spanning ceremonial cannabis, psilocybin integration, and the Emotional Liberation method – is grounded in this evidence base. The same rigor that goes into pharmaceutical research is now being applied to plant medicines. But here’s what the clinical trials can’t fully capture: these compounds carry thousands of years of intentional use, of ceremony, of transmission from those who understood their power long before a randomized controlled trial existed. My role is to hold both, the ancient wisdom and the peer-reviewed evidence – and let them inform each other.
These are my writings on what it’s actually like to work with plant medicines – the preparation, the ceremony, the “psychedelic hangover,” the cultural wisdom behind these traditions, and the emotional territory that opens up when you use a plant as a mirror. Written from my personal experience and a decade of holding space for others, these pieces don’t romanticize or evangelize. They tell the truth about what happens when the door opens.
Ceremony participants, retreat guests, course students, and long-term session clients, from California to Dublin, from first-timers to experienced practitioners. Some came skeptical. Some came desperate. Some came simply curious. What they share isn’t curated or coached. It’s what happened, in their own words.

Plant medicine work begins when you’re called to it, not before. If you’ve been considering it for a while, these are my entry points: My monthly Elevation Ceremonies are free and open to everyone. Regular workshops, both live and recorded, offer a structured way to go deeper. For those ready for immersive work, my Portugal retreats provide the container that a ceremony alone can’t. My live and online masterclass courses can weave cannabis and microdosing into a structured learning format for those who want to understand the practice from the inside out. And personal 1-to-1 sessions meet you exactly where you are.
Whether you're seeking emotional release, spiritual insight, or support through a life transition — there's a path for you.

View the coursePlant medicine is always optional – and when it is included, many find that it can be a potent tool. Used with clear intention and skilled support, it can accelerate access to the emotional material that’s been defended against. Cannabis and psilocybin are the medicines I work with – and we cover together everything you need to know before going in.
That is often exactly what the medicine is doing. Difficult emotions surface because they are ready to move. The Emotional Liberation framework provides the tools to meet and work with what arises rather than be overwhelmed by it. This is why microdosing is always embedded in a guided, structured process in my work, not offered as a standalone practice. You go in prepared, and you do not navigate what comes up alone.
I live and work primarily in Portugal, where the personal use of all substances, including psilocybin, was decriminalized in 2001. I also work online with clients in jurisdictions where it is legally accessible. It is always your responsibility to understand the laws in your own location.
Microdosing is a tool within a larger method, not the method itself. Emotional Liberation® provides the framework: the cognitive education, the psycho-spiritual inquiry, the expressive movement, and practices that allow difficult emotions to be processed and released. The microdose, when included, amplifies access to that process. It can help people who are genuinely stuck in the thinking mind find a doorway through.

No, and I say that as a clinician. Everyone’s body responds differently. Some people find microdosing transformative. Others find it neutral or unhelpful.
Emotions can often surface, Anxiety included. That’s the material that’s been waiting to come up and be met, and it’s part of the work we do together.
Plant medicine is always optional in my work and never a requirement.
A microdose is typically one-tenth to one-twentieth of a full therapeutic dose. Any shift in perception is subtle, not disorienting. The intention is to create a gentle opening in the thinking mind so that the emotional body becomes more accessible. You should be able to go about your day normally. If you notice significant changes in perception, concentration, or your ability to function normally, the dose may need to be adjusted to find your “sweet spot.”
Yes, significantly. Recreational cannabis and conscious cannabis work share the same substance but almost nothing else. What makes the difference is intention, preparation, dosing, and the container the experience is held in.
While recreational use can offer relaxation, pleasure, and creativity, conscious cannabis work is a different conversation entirely. One that moves toward what has been avoided, toward what is difficult to feel, toward the emotional material that has been waiting for the right conditions to surface.
If this resonates for you and you’re wondering whether working with me is a good fit, the best next step is a complimentary Discovery Session. You’ll complete a client intake form first, then we’ll meet on Zoom to explore what’s possible.

Not at all. The Emotional Liberation work is complete in itself, it doesn’t require plant medicine to be deeply effective. Many of my students and clients have never had a psychedelic experience and have no interest in one. The tools work at the level of the nervous system and the emotions regardless.
For those who are considering or preparing for a psychedelic journey, this work is ideal preparation. For those who have had experiences they’re still trying to integrate, it provides the framework and support to do that. And for those who simply want to do the deeper work of emotional healing, this is that work.
Plant medicine is always optional – and when it is included, many find that it can be a potent tool. For emotional numbness specifically, it can soften the protective layer that shutdown has built, allowing what’s been stored beneath to surface and move.
