The ceremony ends. The medicine keeps working long after.

Christie Watts

Psychedelic / Plant Medicine Integration Coach

For over 20 years, I've coached people through change, helping them reconnect with themselves, navigate transitions, and create lives that feel more aligned with who they're becoming.

I have spent over 2 years taking a deep dive into plant medicine and the integration process, along with nearly 200 days at festivals, raves, and concerts. I know the feeling of something opening on a dance floor at 3 a.m. when the music, the movement, and the moment bring you into a different relationship with yourself. And I know how challenging it can be to carry that openness into everyday life.

The experience can change how you see your life. Integration is where you begin exploring what that change means.

I support the integration of ayahuasca, wachuma (San Pedro), yopo, bufo, psilocybin and ketamine experiences, before and after. My work brings together psychology, somatic awareness, coaching, and lived experience to help you make sense of what you've encountered and explore how to bring those insights into your life.

What drew me to this work was recognizing a pattern: people can have profound experiences of connection, clarity, and possibility, yet feel uncertain about how to live from what they've discovered once they're back in their everyday world.

That's where my work begins.

I help you explore your experience through your mind, body, emotions, and the patterns that shape how you move through life. Together, we create space for understanding, embodied awareness, and intentional change, at a pace that respects your individual process.

Integration, wherever you are

I work with clients around the world through Zoom and phone, supporting preparation, post-ceremony integration, and the ongoing process of making meaning from your experience.

You don't have to figure it all out alone.
Your experience is unique. Your integration should be, too.

You came back changed. Now what?

• You saw something clearly in ceremony, and it's already getting harder to hold onto.
• Part of you wants to change everything. Part of you is scared to change anything.
• The people around you don't quite get what happened, and you're not sure how to explain it.
• Something came up that you didn't expect, and you're still making sense of it.
• Old patterns are creeping back in, even though you know they don't fit anymore.
• Or you have a ceremony coming up and want to walk in clear, not just hopeful.

None of this means something went wrong. It means the experience is still working. This is where integration begins.

Your psychedelic experience is an opportunity. Integration is how you explore what that opportunity means for your life.

It's the work of weaving what surfaced, the insights, the emotions, the things you finally saw clearly, back into your habits, your relationships and your sense of who you are.

Without it, the experience fades. The clarity you felt in the days after quietly dissolves within weeks, and what should have changed your life becomes a story you tell at dinner parties.

The days after are the most important part.

After a peak experience, you're unusually open. Old patterns loosen and new ones are easier to start. That openness doesn't choose a direction. It takes whatever you feed it.

That's why the intention you set before matters, and why the first hours and days after need care: who you talk to, what you tell yourself, what you do next.

When what you saw has somewhere to land, it shows up in your actual life.

• The decision you've been circling finally gets made.
• You catch the old pattern while it's happening, and choose differently.
• Your relationships start to reflect who you're becoming.
• You feel more at home in your body.
• Your everyday life holds the clarity, instead of just a memory of it.

Not all at once, and not perfectly. One real change at a time.

Ways to work together.

From intention to integration.

1. 1
   Discovery call
   A free 20-minute call to see if we're a good match.
2. 2
   Intention session
   Before your ceremony or event: get clear on the experience you want to have and the questions you'd like answered.
3. 3
   Your ceremony or event
   The ceremony you've booked with your own retreat or facilitator, or the festival or event you're planning to attend. You go in carrying the intention you set.
4. 4
   Four weekly sessions
   Starting within 48 hours of your ceremony or event, while it's still alive in you. Insight becomes action.

You lead. I walk beside you.

Your experience is yours to define. I'm not here to tell you what it means, but to help you explore it with curiosity, deepen your understanding, and discover what feels meaningful to you.

Together, we turn insight into intentional choices, ones that reflect your values, support your growth, and shape how you want to live.

My goal is for you to leave our work with more than insight. You'll build the awareness and practical tools to continue integrating your experience, trusting your own inner wisdom, and moving forward with intention long after our sessions end.

Why the body matters in integration

Your experience doesn't end when the journey does. What you experienced can continue to unfold through your body, emotions, thoughts, and the way you see your life.

Sometimes the most meaningful insights aren't found in words alone. They're revealed through the sensations, emotions, and shifts in awareness that help you understand what's happening beneath the surface.

Your body is part of how you make sense of your experience. When you learn to listen to it with curiosity and awareness, you create more opportunities to understand yourself, recognize old patterns, and make choices that reflect who you're becoming.

This is where embodied integration becomes powerful: bringing what you discovered into the way you feel, think, relate, and live.

A process that honors your pace

Transformation doesn't need to be forced. It needs the right conditions to unfold.

My approach is trauma-informed, which means your experience, boundaries, and readiness matter. We work with curiosity, respect, and an understanding of how your nervous system responds to change.

You don't have to push through, perform, or have everything figured out. You get to explore your experience at a pace that supports your capacity to integrate it.

The goal isn't simply to understand what happened. It's to create a meaningful relationship with what you've discovered, and bring that awareness into your life.

Do you provide or facilitate ceremonies?

No. I work before and after, never the ceremony itself, and I don't provide any substance.

Which medicines do you support integration for?

Ayahuasca, psilocybin, wachuma (San Pedro), bufo, cannabis, ketamine and others.

What about medical screening?

Screening for medications and health conditions is your retreat or facilitator's responsibility. If something is beyond my scope, I'll tell you and refer you.

Can you help if I'm feeling unsettled before or after my experience?

Yes. This is exactly why I'm here. Having navigated many experiences myself, I know they can bring up unexpected emotions, questions and new perspectives. I'll help you find your footing at your own pace, without telling you what your experience means. You don't have to figure it all out alone.

Do I have to talk about everything that happened?

No. You decide what we explore and how fast. Nothing is forced, and you can pause or change direction anytime. Everything is confidential.

Where do sessions happen?

Over Zoom or phone, wherever you are.

What came through you deserves somewhere to land.
