How it Works: Inside our psychedelic coaching program
August 31, 2023
It’s time. Time to break bad habits, develop healthier relationships, cure your anxiety or depression, get clarity on life goals, propel your personal growth and… ultimately, find true joy and lasting peace. That’s the healing power of plants—in this case, plant-based psychedelic therapy. We (the Catbird team) are living proof that these plants work wonders. Read about some of our transformative experiences on our blog.

Choosing your psychedelic experience
When it comes to choosing the psychedelic treatment that is right for you, we cannot legally dictate or "aid and abet" your decision to engage in psychedelics. So it's a personal choice! The psychedelic treatment will happen onsite / in-person at the location of your choosing (home, office or alternative). We have experience facilitating treatments with a variety of substances, which include but are not limited to: cannabis, mushrooms, ayahuasca, bufo, kambo, or more. Read about your options here.
Note that Catbird cannot legally sell any psychedelic substances, or aid in the procurement of illegal substances.
You will also be armed with valuable content, including recommended resources such as literature, courses on breathwork and meditation, goal-setting, integration, and even special yoga poses and styles that will help during each healing phase.
Why Catbird is different (and better, we believe)
There is a right and wrong way to engage with psychedelics. These plants are powerful. They could change the way you think, act and feel in a meaningful way, and it's important to prepare yourself for the experience mentally, physically and spiritually. That being said, the post-experience integration is the most critical part—one that enables lasting, healthy changes in your life. It’s also important to feel safe, deeply safe, and supported during each stage of any experience involving altered states of consciousness.
Our approach, which we call The Catbird Way, utilizes a proprietary program inspired by the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) model, and promotes the careful consideration of:
- Mindset: The level of preparedness; how you feel before
- Setting: The environment and safety level; how you feel during
- Dosage: The amount of each substance; the level of intensity
- Inner Work: Understanding trauma, emotions and our shadow side
- Holistic Healing: Supporting our bodies, minds and spirits as an integrated whole
