If you’re feeling the call to support others through the sacred healing path of psychedelics—and you want to do so with depth, integrity, and heart—this guide was made for you.
The world needs grounded, ethical, and embodied plant medicine facilitators more than ever.
Psychedelics are powerful tools, and with power, comes great responsibility.
There’s no clear roadmap to becoming a trauma-informed psychedelic professional rooted in Somatics, Science, and Soul.
Until now.
In this FREE guide, I’ll walk you through the key steps to becoming a Somatic Psychedelic Professional so that you can support others with confidence without risk of re-traumatisation.
How is The Somatic Psychedelic Professional Pathway different from other psychedelic programs?
In a field that’s rapidly growing, many trainings focus on theory and analysis. But healing doesn’t happen in the mind alone. It happens through the body, in relationship, and within attuned, sacred space.
This pathway is unique because it centers the somatic, trauma-informed, and relational dimensions of psychedelic care—supporting you to embody presence and facilitate from a place of wholeness.
This is not just a training—it’s a soul path, a remembering, and a return to right relationship with Self, Spirit, and Service.
The Somatic Psychedelic Professional Pathway is the most cohesive, effective and powerful pathway to support your evolution as a somatic psychedelic professional—one that honors psychedelic healing with embodied integrity, deep compassion, and heart-led care.

YOUR TEACHER
With over two decades in international development, Atira Tan has worked on the front lines as a trauma specialist and educator in refugee camps, disaster relief, and with survivors of war and torture. She is known for her trauma recovery work, and advocacy for women’s rights and reproductive health, particularly with sex-trafficked survivors in Asia and the Pacific. Through Art to Healing, the charity she founded, Atira and her team have supported thousands of Asian sex-trafficked survivors and their communities in the quest for freedom from slavery, trauma and oppression.
Equally passionate about creating safer spaces for everybody and bringing healing and awareness to the “shadowy” areas of life, Atira is currently the Head of Preparation and Integration at AYA Healing Retreats. She is the pioneer of the Trauma-Informed Plant Medicine Facilitator Training, and the Somatic Plant Medicine Integration Program.
Atira has played a key role in developing and implementing psychedelic-assisted facilitator training programs. Currently, she imparts her wisdom in training programs with ICEERS, the Plant Spirit School, Synthesis, and Inward Bound. She is currently the co-director of the Somatic Psychedelic Facilitator Certificate with the Embody Lab.

“Atira is an amazing educator.
This was such an amazing program to help me personally on my personal healing journey.
I can honestly say this program is the best investment I’ve ever made.
I now share this wisdom and hold space in my circle to support others on their plant medicine journeys.”
– Maria Koehn, Sound Healer, Canada
“I wholeheartedly recommend this program as an extremely high-quality training on every level.
It’s built on a powerful foundation of somatic psychology and is genuinely trauma-informed, yes offering a clear yet non-rigid methodology, and the community of students and practitioners is supportive and collaborative.
Last but not least, I’ve found this to be the most affordable psychedelic training available. I’m grateful to be a certified practitioner, doing my part to bring this approach to plant medicine work into the world.” ”
– Troy McFadden, Professional Coach, Canada
“I can’t recommend this program enough.
Not only has it brought me to a much deeper theoretical understanding of the foundations of trauma and the nervous system, but it combines this knowledge with the very practical, on-the-ground, in-the-moment foundational practices necessary for facilitating and holding space in a truly grounded, ethical, and embodied manner.
I’ve seen remarkably positive impact in bringing these tools and resources into my work, life, and relations, and definitely recommend the program to anyone who works in the field.”
– Nick, Jakon Rate Center for Shipibo-Konibo Studies, USA
“This program with Atira absolutely exceeded every possible expectation.
Over the last few years I have taken many plant medicine trainings and nothing comes close to what Atira offers.
I have started using the practices from this program with clients and it has been transformational for them.”
– Nicole Gray, Integration Coach, USA.
