About the Teacher
Why study with them?
Tara stumbled into her experience with Psilocybin, while on a self healing journey in Tulum, Mexico. As a former Paramedic who has suffered with PTSD, anxiety and some depression. She didn’t even know how deep her pain was, until she had her first full dose of Psilocybin. Her experience left her with a deep sense of self and a feeling of peace that she had never experienced before.
Working in Emergency services for 9 years, she saw an increasing rise in mental health and human suffering, as people become prisoners of their own minds and we enter into a “mental health crises”. She started working with this medicine under the guidance of a mushroom healer and began helping others through their own journeys to healing.
She studied Psychology and Cultural Anthropology at the University of Calgary. Then went on to train in Paramedicine and Holistic Nutrition.
Tara has a passion for psilocybin and understands the function it can play on a physiological level. Over the last 6 months, she has worked with Therapsil, a non-profit organization advocating for Psilocybin therapy for terminal patients. She was part of the team that worked on getting the first legal access to Psilocybin for terminal patients in Canada.
In the right setting, dose and space, this medicine can offer a very life changing experience to those in need.
Tara holds a loving, warm and very safe space for those who are ready to take this journey.
