**Slow Medicine for the thresholds of care**

Psychedelic education and thoughtful support through life’s changes

Presence, not optimisation.

We are not broken

I’m Naomi, a somatic counsellor, educator and doula. I offer teaching, workshops and individual support around microdosing, preparing for psychedelic experiences and making sense of life afterwards.

My work also welcomes the everyday questions that bring us here: motherhood, grief, changing relationships, feeling overwhelmed or wondering what comes next.

Ways to Work With Me

A place to pause and make sense of things

You might be curious about microdosing and finding it difficult to know which information to trust. You may have had a psychedelic experience that felt meaningful, confusing or difficult, and want somewhere to talk about it.

Or you might be navigating a change in your life and need space to hear yourself more clearly.

Our work begins with what matters to you. There is room for uncertainty, mixed feelings and questions without immediate answers. You don’t need to arrive with a clear goal or a particular belief about psychedelics.

Teaching, workshops and professional training

I teach individuals, practitioners and organisations about psychedelic support, microdosing and the human experiences surrounding them.

My teaching brings together practical knowledge, research, lived experience and questions about care, culture and responsibility. We explore both the possibilities and the limitations of psychedelics, with space to question the stories told about them.

I offer guest talks, workshops and practitioner education, including teaching with the International School of Holistic Healing.

Individual support

One-to-one sessions offer time to explore what you’re experiencing, at a pace that feels manageable for you.

We might work together around:

Microdosing: exploring your questions, expectations and what you’re noticing in daily life.
Psychedelic preparation: considering your hopes, concerns, circumstances and support.
Integration: making sense of a psychedelic experience and exploring how it relates to your everyday life.
Motherhood and life changes: finding space for your own needs, feelings and questions alongside everything you carry.

You don’t need to use psychedelics to work with me.

How I work

My approach is grounded in conversation, curiosity and attention to the body.

Alongside talking, we may notice sensations, emotions or familiar responses—for example, holding your breath when something feels difficult, or saying yes when part of you wants to say no. This is what I mean by a somatic approach.

We can also make room for different parts of your experience: the part that wants change, the part that feels afraid, or the part that is tired of trying so hard.

I bring questions and observations, while respecting your understanding of your own life. What we explore is guided by your choices and what feels useful to you.

Your relationships, responsibilities, culture and circumstances matter here too. They shape what you’re experiencing and what support is possible.

If you are looking for certainty, optimisation, or a quick fix, this may not be the right place.
If you are looking for a thoughtful, attuned space to explore what is already alive in you gently, ethically, and with care, this might be the place for you

Podcasts conversations

In this episode, I interview Naomi Tolson. Naomi is a microdosing coach, psychedelic guide, advocate and community science researcher. She specialises in supporting parents who choose to microdose during their pregnancy and postpartum journey. Join us as we discuss how microdosing can support the pregnancy, birth and postpartum journey. You’ll hear about Naomi’s journey of discovering microdosing and how it led her to stop attending births as a doula, the benefits of microdosing, debunking myths, and how microdosing can help heal birth trauma.

Naomi shares her personal journey and professional insights on how families can benefit from microdosing to enhance connection with themselves, their babies, and the community. The conversation explores the nuances of dosing, the importance of community support, and the role of psychedelic education in breaking societal stigmas. Join this in-depth discussion highlighting the healing power of psychedelics in parenthood and beyond.

Testimonials

I felt supported, validated, and genuinely listened to, with space to understand myself more deeply.
The support helped me clarify my own intention and trust myself to continue independently.
Her classes and trainings are phenomenal
Anyone can talk wisely about the medicine and the journey but to truly guide someone, knowing when to adapt the pace, when to step in and when to allow instinct to unfold, that takes someone special. Thank you Naomi"
Naomi changed my perspective to be more understanding and compassionate for myself instead of feeling stuck in the past and in a constant cycle of self hate. There was always a feeling that I was being held, and that is exactly what I needed.
I feel like I have grown as an individual more in this time than over the last few years! I felt fully supported and understood throughout the course and am sad it has come to an end! I feel that being part of this course has changed the trajectory of my life in such a positive way and I am so excited to continue to work with Naomi. “
What’s remarkable about Naomi is the way she holds space in a steady, spacious, warm, and utterly non judgemental way.
Working with Naomi is unlike anything I’ve experienced before. She brings a rare combination of grounded somatic skill, deep intuition, and an ability to make even the most complex inner terrain feel safe to explore.
I’ve worked with therapists before, but Naomi is different. There’s depth here, and real care. I’ve learned to listen to myself again and that alone has changed so much.
