A Human Way of Coming Home to Yourself

Over the past years, we’ve had the privilege of sitting with people during their Ayahuasca journeys. Holding space as they opened up to profound layers of healing. We’ve also walked this path ourselves, with all the beauty, the rawness, and the sometimes overwhelming waves that come after ceremony.

One thing has become very clear to us:
the real work begins in the integration.

Why Integration Needs the Body

Ayahuasca and other plant medicines can open doors to buried memories, deep emotions, and profound insights. In the ceremony space, everything is alive and present. But when you come back into daily life, your nervous system doesn’t always know what to do with it all.

We’ve seen (and felt) how trauma and old protective patterns live in the body. Psychedelics can loosen them, bring them to the surface, but without support, they may remain stuck or even feel louder than before.

This is why somatic bodywork has become such a vital part of our own healing and the way we support others.

Our Experience with TVM

The Triple Vagal Method (TVM) has been one of the most powerful tools we’ve found for integration.

When we first received this work after ceremony, it allowed our bodies to release what words could not touch. The trembling, the tears, the sighs all of it was the language of our nervous system finally letting go.

In facilitating TVM for others, we’ve witnessed the same:

• Stored trauma moving out of the body gently, without force.

• Nervous systems shifting from chaos and overwhelm into deep calm.

• Insights from ceremony becoming embodied, no longer just thoughts, but lived truths.

It feels like teaching the body: “You are safe now. You can rest. You can trust.”

Why It Matters for Psychedelic Integration

Ayahuasca, psilocybin, MDMA, Ketamine, DMT and other psychedelic medicines can open your awareness in profound ways, but if your body still feels stuck in fight/flight or freeze, it’s hard to live from that expanded place.

Somatic bodywork helps to: 

1. Transform insights into embodied change and ceremony wisdom into lived experiences

2. Build vagal tone, strengthening the body’s capacity to stay regulated

3. Create a sense of safety so that true transformation can land

4. Bring the body back into balance, making it easier to carry the clarity of ceremony into daily life.

Safety & Consent

We always remind people: the body only opens when it feels safe. Touch in somatic bodywork is never forced, it is fully consensual and led by your nervous system, not by us. Healing happens at the pace your body chooses.

For us, ayahuasca showed what was possible.
Somatic bodywork like TVM gave us the pathway to live it.

But whether it’s ayahuasca, psilocybin, MDMA, ketamine, DMT, or other psychedelic medicines, the truth remains the same: the journey doesn’t end with the ceremony.

When the nervous system feels safe, the heart can stay open.
And that’s where integration becomes not just a process, but a way of life.

✨ This is a topic very close to our heart. We would love to hear about your experience, whether it’s with ayahuasca, psilocybin, MDMA, ketamine, DMT, or other medicines, and how you’ve found ways to integrate. Every story adds to the collective wisdom of this work.
