I’m Jessica Morgenthaler, a licensed psilocybin facilitator. My work is rooted in the belief that plant medicine has the power to reconnect us—with ourselves, with healing, and with something larger than us. I’ve been on my own journey of growth and know how transformative it can be when someone walks beside you with care and clarity.

​

Healing is a quiet restoration, a process that reminds us we matter.

​

My approach blends science and spirit. I honor what research shows us about psilocybin’s potential for easing emotional struggles and supporting growth, while also creating space for the intuitive wisdom of the body and spirit. Sessions are trauma-informed, culturally respectful, and shaped by your intentions and pace.

​

I serve individuals who are ready for intentional healing—whether that looks like recovering from trauma, easing mental health struggles, releasing old patterns, rediscovering self, or exploring spiritual connection.

My Philosophy
I believe real transformation happens in integration—when insights become lasting change. My role is to create a safe, supportive space where you can set intentions, explore what emerges, and build a plan for healing that carries into daily life.

 

​Why am I interested in working with psilocybin?

Psilocybin invites us back to our own inner knowing. I’m drawn to this work because it represents the meeting point of science, spirit, and relational healing. I’ve seen and personally experienced how intentional, supported journeys can help people remember their wholeness and reconnect to meaning. My interest is in plant medicine, allowing it to assist in getting out of our own way: to facilitate a relationship that forms between the person, the process, and the potential for change.

​

What are my professional interests?

I’m most passionate about how people integrate transformation: how insight becomes lived practice. Regardless if I'm in my role as a facilitator, therapist, or educator, my professional interests lie in values-based, trauma-sensitive, and equity-rooted care. I love helping people reconnect to curiosity, self-trust, and peace within a space that welcomes all of who they are, even the ugly or scary parts. Many of us live in a constant swing between giving too much and guarding too hard, a rhythm born from old survival patterns. My work supports the slow return to center, where stability, joy, and purpose take root. I’m also deeply engaged in community education for facilitators and organizations focusing on ethics, accountability, and sustainable care, to develop a culture that supports the integrity of this emerging field.

 

How do I approach sessions with clients?

Every session begins with relationship and consent. My approach is calm, structured, and spacious.  Clients know what to expect: the flow of the day, the choices available to them, and how to ask for support; so that safety becomes a shared agreement rather than a rule imposed from outside. Once the journey begins, I hold a steady, grounded presence and let the process unfold. My guiding question is always, “What helps this person feel safe enough to stay with what’s happening?”

I see facilitation as partnership: I hold the container, they hold the wisdom. Together we create the conditions where their own healing intelligence can emerge.

 

How do I prepare clients for a journey?

Preparation starts with deep listening. We clarify intentions, explore what readiness looks like, and design the environment in ways that fit each person’s sensory, cultural, spiritual, and emotional needs. I offer education and simple grounding practices so clients have tools they already trust when intensity arises.
Rather than trying to control the experience, I help people orient toward it with curiosity and care, to meet whatever comes with presence instead of resistance.

 

How do I support clients during a journey?

During a journey, I am both anchor and witness. My focus is on co-regulation, staying attuned to subtle shifts in breath, posture, and emotion so that I can offer support only when it’s needed. Sometimes that’s silence, sometimes a reminder to breathe, sometimes consent-based touch. I remain steady so clients can safely surrender to their own process.

The heart of this work is trust: trusting the medicine, trusting the facilitator, and trusting self so that healing moves at the pace that feels safer.

 

My integration process.

Integration is where transformation becomes tangible. I guide clients in translating insights into small, meaningful actions. It is immensely important for aligning new awareness with daily life, relationships, and values. We explore what it means to embody what they’ve learned, not just understand it.

​

Drawing from my background in mental health, wellness coaching, and systems thinking, I help clients identify the supports they’ll need to sustain growth: community, structure, and continued reflection. With permission, I collaborate with other providers or support networks to reinforce the work beyond facilitation.

​

If clients wish to continue the process, I offer ongoing integration to support deeper inquiry into what feels stuck and how to move through it. This work honors each person’s own pace and intuition; sometimes that includes another psilocybin journey when their inner knowing indicates the time is right.

I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.
