Strengthen your psychedelic integration toolkit
Learn effective somatic tools, methods & models
Support your clients in psychedelic transformation & personal growth
The real work in plant medicine healing begins after the ceremony—during the
integration process. This crucial stage helps participants embody the insights,
tools and perspectives gained, allowing for true transformation. Without proper support, this
process can lead to re-traumatisation as plant medicines often surface unresolved trauma.
This unique 50-hour certified programme offers a deep dive into the
Somatic Plant Medicine Integration Model, combining recorded Zoom classes,
lectures, somatic practices and hands-on exercises. You’ll learn how to guide clients through
the integration process with compassion, awareness and a trauma-informed approach—supporting
healing in body, heart and mind.
Whether you’re looking to become a plant medicine integration practitioner or coach, this
programme will equip you with the tools to safely and effectively help others navigate their
healing journeys.

THE SOMATIC PLANT MEDICINE INTEGRATION MODEL
In the sacred medicine culture, plant medicine integration is often seen as an afterthought and is not well understood. As a result, its critical role in the healing process is frequently overlooked.
To achieve deep healing, it’s essential to recognise the importance of integration. It should be considered just as vital as the medicine itself. Understanding what integration entails is the first step towards embracing its significance.
The Somatic Plant Medicine Integration Model is grounded in a trauma-informed approach and inner-directed healing. The model supports participants to embody their insights from the sacred medicine experience. By turning these insights into actionable behaviours and responses to everyday challenges, your clients can truly live the wisdom gained.
The objective of the Somatic Plant Medicine Integration Model is to support clients to embody the insights from their sacred medicine journey as a living reality, rather than as fleeting experiences. Through prioritising safety, compassion, inner-directed somatic inquiry and trauma-informed skills, you will learn how to support clients’ needs to digest, metabolise, expand and anchor their psychedelic insights into deep and lasting personal transformation.

STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
“I’d like to thank Atira from the bottom of my heart for this incredible and informative integration program.
I’m truly in awe of all the wisdom that Atira holds and for her ability to share such a comprehensive and effective somatic approach to psychedelic integration in such a heartwarming, embodied way.
I will continue to immerse myself in all the knowledge that Atira has shared while my heart continues to expand.”
“A huge thank you for the incredible Somatic Plant Medicine Integration training program. I absolutely loved it!
I learned so many things about myself, not just by observing and understanding the somatic practices that were taught, but also about my own triggers. It’s wonderful to also understand the importance of working with others in a trauma-informed approach. I felt so connected to such a beautiful community where I feel like I’ve made friends for life.”
“In this training, I was taken straight back to my deepest experience and revelation of all of my plant medicine journeys in the Somatic Plant Medicine Program and I could integrate the experience even deeper. I experienced how profound integration is to resolving challenging journeys and bringing blessings into daily life in this program.
Atira has embodied the wisdom of trauma and plant medicine skillfully together. This work is essential and should be embodied by all plant medicine facilitators and in all plant medicine ceremonies and workshops.”
“This workshop was absolutely the best I’ve attended (online or in-person) in a long time.
I’m so grateful for the eloquence, attention to detail, professionalism, and depth with which this important work was presented.
This in-depth approach to integrating plant medicine experiences is definitely the missing link for me both personally and in my work in facilitating sacred ceremonies.”
