ABOUT ME
I’m Essa, a breathwork and psychedelic facilitator with a deep passion for supporting people in their journey to reconnect—with themselves, each other, and the wisdom of their bodies. My work is rooted in Focusing (by Eugene Gendlin), a practice that teaches people to listen inward and be present with what arises, so they can move through life with more clarity and connection. I believe that true healing happens in relationships, not in isolation. I love creating spaces where people can be seen, heard, and held in deep presence.
My Mission
My mission is to support people in their process of getting in touch with their own self-healing capacity. In a world where we often hand over our power to experts, I want to help you find your own way. Think of it as if we are on a journey together—you show the way, and all I do is support you to walk that path safely. I don’t lead; I follow you. I will occasionally point out something we encounter together, but you always make the choice about what you want to investigate and which path you take.
The power of the breath and psychedelic truffles (psilocybin) both work as catalysts in this process. They take us to the places that hurt and support us in fully experiencing what the body and soul want to tell us about them. By listening with curiosity, compassion, love, and understanding to everything that arises in your process, you increase your capacity to be fully present with all parts of yourself—even the fearful, angry, judgmental, or overanalytical ones. We often want to change, deny, or push these parts away because they evoke pain, shame, or guilt. But when we learn to be with them unconditionally and really listen, we can have a healthier relationship with them. Instead of identifying as sad or angry, we recognize that something in us feels sad or angry. This shift often creates a feeling of more space, possibility, and freedom in the body.
My Professional Background
My background is in psychology and trauma-informed facilitation. Over the years, I have trained in various modalities, including Focusing, breathwork, and psychedelic integration support. I have worked with individuals navigating deep inner work, altered states of consciousness, and personal transformation. My approach is client-centered and body-based, always emphasizing safety, presence, and the organic unfolding of each person’s process. I have over a decade of work experience working with altered states of consciousness.
In my practice, I guide people toward a felt sense of safety and trust in their own inner experience. Whether you are navigating personal challenges or seeking healing from past wounds, I offer a space where you can meet yourself with compassion and curiosity.
Who I Work With
I like to work with people who are willing to make the journey inward and open themselves up to the possibilities of inner healing, growth, and transformation. My offerings are for those who are ready to step beyond traditional therapy models and into a co-created, embodied practice of healing and growth. Whether you are looking for Focusing-based support, breathwork sessions, or psychedelic-assisted guidance, my role is to walk alongside you, not as an expert who has all the answers, but as a fellow traveler on the path of transformation.
If this resonates with you, I invite you to explore my offerings and reach out. Let’s create a space where healing and connection can unfold naturally.
My journey
My path into this work has been shaped by my own lived experiences. For years, I struggled with a sense of disconnection, not just from myself but also from the world around me. I’ve walked through periods of doubt, fear, depression, and uncertainty, questioning my place in the world. It was through practices like breathwork, Focusing, and psychedelic exploration that I began to find my way back—back to my body, my intuition, and a deeper trust in life itself.
I have come to understand that much of our collective suffering—loneliness, anxiety, and a deep sense of lack—stems from systemic wounds rooted in capitalism, colonialism, and patriarchy. These forces have disconnected us from our natural ways of being, from each other, and nature. My work is about undoing that conditioning, reclaiming what has been lost, and fostering a world where people can really listen to themselves and others. When we do this, we create more curiosity, compassion, love, understanding, and connection in society.
“Every bad feeling is potential energy toward a more right way of being if you give it space to move toward its rightness.”
