Testimonials
"I'm drawn to teachers with sincerity, integrity, wisdom and a compassionate openness. Billie embodies all of this and so much more. It is deeply inspiring to witness just how much of herself she commits to each lesson and each private mentorship session in this course. At the same time, she teaches and models balancing self-care with service. Moreover, Billie fostered a sense of community wherein I believe everyone felt seen, heard and valued. The material in this course was made so accessible that I felt empowered by her practical guidance. Billie prompted participants to reflect on the relevance of the teachings to how they presently show up in the world and how they aspire to serve their communities in the future. She taught and encouraged practices to root these teachings in day-to-day life. Billie didn't teach this course as theory. She built it in such a way as to make facilitation highly practicable even for persons with nominal experience with psilocybin. She did all that while conveying a deep and abiding reverence and respect for both the medicine itself as well as the indigenous traditions at the heart of their ceremonial use."

"Thank you sooooo much for holding the beautiful container that was the Roots of Healing Trauma Informed Plant Medicine training. I feel honoured to have had the opportunity to share this journey with like-minded people with such varied perspectives and insights into what it means to live a healthy and fulfilling experience to share with other individuals who are called to plant medicine in such a safe, supportive and informed environment.
I have had the amazing opportunity to benefit from your healing modalities for many years, but having experienced my own plant medicine journey with you opened up a calling I’ve always sensed, but I never understood how to put it into practice. Enter the Roots of Healing Plant Medicine training. At first I was hesitant; it was a time commitment and financial investment that I wasn’t certain I was ready to take. The self doubt and “who am I to think I can do this?” was a force I had to reckon with for sure, but then a chat with you reminded me that we are all healers and we are all called to be the helpers in our lives.
I have learned so much about the process and the heart work that goes into each ceremony to create such a safe container for everyone to experience. I feel confident and comfortable in my abilities to begin facilitating others and support them in their own journeys. The shares from others and the personal experiences that you so eloquently and succinctly shared let all of us know that in spite of any doubts, we can do this needed work and be the most supportive and strong facilitators that people need to guide and help the medicine do the work in others as we all begin to heal.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of your time, all of your training and support, and all of the love that you’ve obviously poured into training the rest of us to be trauma informed facilitators in the future and spread your knowledge along the way."
Michelle
"I am on an evolutionary path to manifesting my heart’s wisdom. For the past four years, I have attended sacred medicine ceremonies to deepen my growth and alignment with my highest calling. This journey has been profound and deeply healing, opening a pathway to service and revealing my truth as a facilitator of plant medicine offerings and integration support. Billie has been instrumental in bringing this vision to life.
The Gaia Wellness Psilocybin Facilitation Training is designed for the authentic healer, offering invaluable wisdom, guidance, and meaningful reflection practices. It provides the tools needed to build your own facilitation practice while fostering deep community connection. I highly recommend this course as a continuation of the ceremony of life."
