Eva Mendez

Licensed Psilocybin Facilitator

My purpose is to prepare you for an authentic and unique journey with this psychedelic medicine. We will access values rooted in your ethos, distinctive to your identity, and meaningful to you. Together we will explore your beliefs and practices to optimize your experience. This therapeutic journey can be a conduit for true courage to emerge, allowing you to recognize patterns that no longer serve you, and helping you to discover the freedom to live authentically.

I will be your guide, someone who has experience with life’s uncertainties, challenges, and hardships. I will be responsible for facilitating a safe space for deep introspection.  This experience may help you access your own wisdom; it can illuminate hidden gems, and inspire lasting transformation.

Preparation and integration sessions are customized to your personal needs in a collaborative approach and supported by proper protocols. I look forward to working with you. It would be an honour to be your guide.

About Eva Mendez

My life’s work has been to support those who are suffering, to help them return to a healthier state of whole being in my role as a psychiatric/mental health nurse for the past 20 years. I have observed temporary relief in my patient’s symptoms. In some patients, I have seen a shift in their insights that also leads to temporary relief. However I have not seen any long term healing without some form of damaging side effects from the available medical treatments. This led me to go searching for other possibilities. Ten years ago, I traveled to Peru and had my first personal experience with plant medicine. I have had several psychedelic experiences since, to reconnect with myself, my roots and my people. In May of 1975, at the end of the Vietnam war, my mother, three siblings, and I, as a young child, lost contact with our extended family, our friends and our country. Overnight, we became displaced people and lived through painful experiences and losses. I see myself in my patients and I see my patients in myself. Psychedelics have been transformative in my shift toward self-awareness and in finding the freedom to live and be joyful again.
