Reflections

"I am a psychologist in private practice with over two decades of clinical experience. Previously, I was Director of Psychology and Psychology Training at a well-known inpatient facility. I have treated hundreds of patients and have myself been a patient for decades. So when I say that Michou is an OUTSTANDING AND BRILLIANT therapist, I am comparing her to the most experienced and highly competent professionals in the psychotherapeutic field.

I met Michou after becoming interested in exploring plant and animal medicines for expanding consciousness. I completed four journeys with her, and it is not an exaggeration to say she helped me change my life in ways traditional therapy never could. Each time, she was highly professional yet relatable, present, safe, and deeply attuned. She had unprecedented clarity about where I was and how to guide me. I felt she could hold all of my emotions with calm strength, allowing me to explore the most painful parts of my psyche without fear.

I trusted her with my life, something I have rarely experienced. I now refer my own patients to her and consistently hear incredible feedback about her professionalism, compassion, and expertise. Choose Michou as your guide, you will be in the safest, most capable hands." - Ekaterina B., Psychologist

"I came upon Michou while searching for resources to better understand psychedelic journeying. As a therapist myself, I wanted to experience this work firsthand. I deeply appreciated Michou’s respect for these powerful substances and her knowledge of how to use them safely. She was open to all of my questions and supported my process every step of the way.

During the session, she was present without being intrusive, supportive, but never directive. She created space for the experience to unfold naturally while remaining available when needed. I also value her authenticity. She brings a balanced, grounded energy that felt important and safe for me.

As I begin integrating this work into my own practice, I know I can count on Michou for guidance, collaboration, and insight. She is a generous soul." - Janna F.

"Where do I start about Michou? She’s incredible.  I've been working with her, she's helped me transform my life in ways beyond what words can fully describe.

As a psychotherapist myself, it is rare and deeply relieving to connect with someone in this field who genuinely cares as much as she does. From the very beginning, I felt truly seen and safe in her presence. She is real, grounded, and deeply attuned. She offers empathy and compassion while also challenging me in the ways I needed. During an incredibly difficult period in my life, her guidance and the medicine were instrumental in helping me move through it.

I feel more grounded, connected, and self-aware than I ever have before. Michou has helped me access healing beyond what traditional therapy provided.

I am endlessly grateful to have crossed paths with her." - Rachel M.

"Michou holds very powerful energy and presence; having gone through her own dark night of the soul and emerging as a fully embodied teacher and guide, she is now very committed to helping others who are struggling on the precipice of addictions, PTSD, and unhealed wounds. This medicine is sacred and it is very powerful, and Michou accompanies people along the path of integration, bringing in the Art and Science of the Vision Quest experience that mycology offers. She has been a driving force behind the decriminalization of psychedelic medicine in Massachusetts - starting with her own town, and with a strong rippling wave carrying to others - and her voice continues to amplify the message that mushroom medicine is ancient Earth medicine; fully natural, and part of our human heritage. If you have had a mind-opening experience in the past - only to be left to deal with it on your own - Integration is the crucial, missing piece. And Integration is Michou's specialty. I could not recommend her enough." -  Kenzie R., QHHT Practitioner 

 "As a business professional and father navigating a major life transition, I found myself overwhelmed and searching for clarity. Since my first journey with Michou, my life has already begun to change through integration. I’ve had conversations I never thought possible, improved my health, and brought order and clarity into my life. I felt safe, educated, and fully prepared for the experience.

Forever grateful." - David L.

 "If you are truly open to change, Michou will guide you to your truth.

Before working with her, I had built a successful life on paper, but something felt deeply misaligned. Through microdosing and guided work, I came to understand I needed a different path. My journey with Michou helped me trust myself enough to leave my career and begin discovering my true purpose. The insights I gained were profound and life-changing. I cannot recommend her highly enough." - L.C.

"After a difficult solo experience, I knew I needed a guide.

Working with Michou changed everything. When my journey began to turn dark, she helped me navigate those moments without spiraling.

Afterward, I felt calm, grounded, and stable in a way I hadn’t experienced before.

Her presence made all the difference." - Ellen V.

 "I feel tremendously fortunate to have found Michou.

From the beginning, she has been reliable, knowledgeable, and incredibly compassionate. Her understanding of this medicine has been invaluable in guiding my journey, especially given my complex medical situation.

I feel safe working with her, and deeply supported throughout the entire process." - Ellie W.

 "After years of traditional therapy, we were discouraged.

From our first consultation with Michou, we knew we had found someone who truly understood us. She is professional, precise, and generous with her knowledge. Our journey has been empowering and transformative." - Joseph W.

 "We feel honored to be guided by Michou on our journey.

She is approachable, accepting, and deeply respectful of our sovereignty.

Her authenticity, heart, and wisdom are inspiring. We are incredibly grateful to work with her." - River R.

"Working with Michou in integration has been one of the greatest gifts of my life.

Her compassion, insight, and encouragement have helped me process years of grief, trauma, and self-understanding. She listens without judgement and supports meaningful, lasting change. - Linda P.

"Michou fully embodies the sacred work of being an intuitive guide.

Her capacity to hold space in vulnerable moments is unmatched. I trusted her immediately and felt deeply cared for throughout my journeys.

She is compassionate, wise, and deeply attuned to both people and the medicine.

Her work helped bring me home to myself in a way I will never forget." - Jenelle
