Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a psychedelic trip sitter?
A psychedelic trip sitter is a sober, supportive presence during a psychedelic experience. Their role is to ensure safety, provide emotional support, and help navigate challenging moments without directing the experience. They don’t guide or interpret your experience—they simply hold space and offer support if needed.
The role of a sitter is to create a peaceful, non-judgmental environment so you can focus inward without worrying about what’s happening around you. Whether that means helping you stay calm through a difficult moment or simply being nearby while you explore your inner world, the sitter is there to support your process—not control it.
Having a trip sitter allows you to relax more deeply into the experience, knowing someone is present, aware, and there if you need them.
2. How is a trip sitter different from a psychedelic guide?
A trip sitter offers passive support, focusing on safety and comfort without actively influencing the journey. In contrast, a psychedelic guide may have formal training and provides more active facilitation, helping you navigate the experience and integrate insights. The choice between the two depends on your personal needs and intentions.

13. What is your experience and training?
I’ve spent over 500 hours holding space as a psychedelic trip sitter, supporting numerous clients through powerful and deeply personal journeys. My approach is rooted in firsthand experience—psychedelics have been an important part of my own healing, growth, and spiritual exploration. Because of that, I understand the vulnerability and transformation these journeys can bring. In addition to trip sitting, I’ve coached many people through mindset work, emotional blocks, and integration, helping them find clarity and confidence both before and after their experiences. I bring grounded presence, deep care, and real-world experience to every session.
