Thrive Microdose Coaching

Hi, I'm James!

I am a Psychedelic-Assisted Life & Wellness Coach and I help people safely use psychedelics to reduce or get off medications, defeat depression, conquer anxiety, heal trauma, and live conscious, joyful, and thriving lives!

I have over 20 years of personal experience with psychedelics and I have been microdosing since 2018. Psychedelic experiences always gave me relief from my own debilitating depression and severe social anxiety but the initial benefits would always fade in the following weeks. Although it brought relief it wasn't a magic bullet and didn't fully resolve my depression and anxiety.

I would also get insights and clarity on things I needed to change in my life. Sometimes the message was small; focus on my health, quit a toxic job, have that difficult conversation, etc. Other times the lessons were more than I was ready for at the time but resurfaced time and again until I embraced the message.

Over time I learned how to integrate and weave these lessons into my daily life and began using psychedelics with more intention and purpose. I began "doing the work" and building tools and practices to help me overcome my depression, crush my social anxiety, get off my meds, and even lose over 100 pounds!

Psychedelics helped me connect with and listen to my body, my inner wisdom, and my higher self. This is their true power but It's not always straightforward or a linear path.

It was actually a challenging psychedelic mushroom experience (or "bad" trip), that inspired me to go back to college for my degree in Psychology and devote myself to helping others. I've worked in nonprofits, social services, and higher education for nearly a decade using my story and experiences to help hundreds of others overcome their challenges and reach their goals.

My life has been drastically changed for the better through psychedelic experiences and I want to help people feel safe, comfortable, and confident if they are called to these powerful medicines too.

Now, I've consolidated and condensed my decades of experience and education into a system to help you THRIVE!

Does any of this sound like you?...

You are sick and tired of feeling sick and tired all of the time...

You want to reduce or get off your medications completely so you can be fully present and engaged in your life….

You are ready to feel something, anything! But also afraid of not being able to handle the emotions or triggers because you’ve forgotten how or lost your resiliency...

You have lost your sense of creativity, your passion for life, or you feel like a hollow shell of your authentic self...

You feel like your family, your relationships, or your career are suffering because you feel stuck and unmotivated...

You are curious about psychedelics for healing or personal growth but don’t know where to start, how to source them, or what to do even if you did…

You are afraid and heard horror stories but also see the growing trend that veterans and others are finding relief with these powerful medicines…

You are curious about the healing properties but are afraid of a “bad” trip or going “crazy”...

You are unsure if these medicines are safe or right for you and your situation…

I'm going to teach my system to you....

THRIVE MICRODOSE SYSTEM

Look I'm not the expert on ayahuasca or peyote or ibogaine...but I've used psychedelic mushrooms, MDMA, and LSD to overcome my challenges and I've created a system to help you on your journey.

When we work together I guide you through a step-by-step process to help you maximize your psychedelic journey. I will teach you...

If microdosing, macrodosing, or a combination is best for you
How and where to source psychedelic substances safe;u to reduce your risks
Nervous system regulation and neural programming techniques to maximize your psychedelic journey
How to strengthen your mind-body connection for awareness and healing
How to resolve stuck trauma through somatic practices and energy work
How to create balance, energy, and time for a healthier life
How to manage your emotions and mood so you can reduce or get off your meds
How to remove your inner critic and create a supportive internal dialogue
How to be more present and engaged in life, your family, your career
How to appreciate the lows as much as the highs so you can stop suffering and start THRIVING!

I teach you all of this by guiding you through a simple 3 phase process;

Awareness - this is where we work on your mindset, mental shifts, and what you think is possible. Shifting what you know is possible and seeing a way forward.
Practice - this is where you start to put into practice and begin to build the tools, resources, and systems you need to overcome your challenges
Progress - this is where the magic happens. You've created new awareness and neural pathways, you've been putting resources into practice, and you are connecting with your inner wisdom and higher self for true growth and healing!

In addition to the system, I support, mentor and coach you through the process. This gives you a valuable resource, you have someone with experience, education, and wisdom to be your sounding board, to help set expectations, hold you accountable, and help push you when you need it most.

Sure, there are plenty of books, articles, Wikis, and websites that might allow you to do it yourself ...but in this information age, we are drowning in information while starving for wisdom.

This is where I come in. I've stubbornly gone at it alone and seen small amounts of progress. I've educated myself and seen a little bit more progress. But when I started working with others, with community, with professors, with healers...this is where I made leaps and bounds in my progress and literally transformed my life (Check out my story here).

Now I aim to create that community and safe space for you to process your experiences and to help you integrate them into your life in a meaningful way.

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your journey!
