You are your own best—and only—healer.
Explore your subconscious using somatic work and natural medicines in a safe, curated environment. We are delighted to help you on your unique journey as your inner work and integration guides.
We address the global mental health crisis by resolving trauma, burnout, and chronic stress at their roots.
Current solutions like pharmaceuticals or traditional talk therapy often only manage symptoms rather than providing lasting healing. Many people feel disconnected from their bodies and stuck in cycles of stress, with rising rates of depression, addiction, and anxiety showing how urgent this problem is.
Our solution is an integrative model of care: blending somatic healing practices such as voice- and breath work with natural medicines (grounded in clinical research). This approach not only relieves symptoms but helps clients reconnect with their bodies, release trauma, and achieve long-term wellness.

You are your own best healer, and we can help you learn how.

Heal was born from the vision that true wellness goes deeper than managing symptoms. As a musician-turned-psychologist, I discovered how breath, voice, and natural medicines can unlock the subconscious, release emotional blockages, and build resilience. Unlike approaches that create dependency, our work is about catalyzing lasting transformation — in the brain, the body, and the heart.

Some of my greatest passions lie in trauma processing, integration, and personal empowerment. What much of society deems as the ugly or undesirable part of humankind, or the shadow aspect of the psyche, I see with curiosity and compassion. Singing and teaching voice professionally for over a decade taught me about the profound connection between vocal expression and personal empowerment. In the same way that we must fully acknowledge and truly listen to the untrained “ugly” voice in order to harness and train it, we must fully acknowledge and truly listen to the more challenging or shadow aspects of the human psyche to increase awareness and finally raise our consciousness.

At Heal, we bring together science and spirituality—two realms often seen as opposites, yet deeply interconnected. Modern research in neuroscience and quantum physics is beginning to validate what ancient traditions have known for millennia: that consciousness, energy, and the body are inseparable.
One area we focus on is what we call neurogenesis of the heart. Just as practices like deep subconscious work or psilocybin can permanently reshape the brain, somatic modalities (e.g. breath work, voice work, etc.) can permanently transform the heart. This isn’t just metaphorical; it’s a rewiring of how we relate to ourselves and others.
We also know that certain sound frequencies have measurable healing effects, helping to reconnect regions of the brain and body that may have been fragmented by trauma. Science is only beginning to catch up with this wisdom, but the implications are profound: true healing is not about choosing between science or spirit, but integrating both.

We help people learn to establish profound brain-heart coherence through increased neuroplasticity (neurogenesis), using somatic modalities like breath work, voice work, and plant medicine.
We aim to address the gap left by a mental‑health system that keeps people dependent on pharmaceuticals while ignoring the deeper, somatic roots of trauma and disconnection. Big Pharma often treats symptoms only, overlooking the ability of somatic modalities in catalysing neurogenesis in the brain and heart, releasing stored trauma and fostering resilience. By creating safe, guided experiences that blend science with ancestral wisdom, we work to empower people to access their own subconscious, heal emotional wounds and reclaim their well‑being without lifelong dependence on medications.
Some backstory…
What started out as my simple mantra of “anyone can sing” back in 2012 has turned into winding and beautiful journey, resulting in a multidisciplinary background in psychology, vocal pedagogy, and somatic integration.
After completing a BM degree in Choral Music Education in 2012, I sang professionally and taught in San Francisco, Paris, and Zürich, Switzerland. I gained a unique appreciation and insight into the effects that music, singing, and touch can have in somatic therapy processes.
After over ten years in the field of vocal pedagogy, I embarked on a long-anticipated career change: psychology and somatic therapy.
I first became a psychedelics facilitator (aka “trip-sitter”) while researching with the psychedelics research lab at the University of Zurich in 2021. I also researched the effects of psilocybin in depressed patients at the Psychiatric University Hospital in Zurich (PUK). For my master’s in psychology, I researched the effects of ayahuasca on social connectedness. In 2023, I was recruited by the University Hospital Zurich (USZ) to help launch its LSD in Palliative Care study.
Somatic therapies like holotropic breathwork, somatic singing, and psychedelic compounds are all incredibly powerful tools to instigate neurogenesis, understand the self more fully, leading to personal empowerment and sovereignty.
Somatic Singing
Singing is more than just sound—it's a somatic experience. It engages breath, presence, emotion, and frequency all at once. It brings us home to our bodies. Through voice work, we release tension, regulate the nervous system, and awaken parts of ourselves we didn’t know were waiting. The voice reveals everything—and when you learn how to use it with intention, it becomes a powerful tool for healing, empowerment, and joy.
There's nothing quite like that lightbulb moment I observe in someone’s eyes when something just clicks—when they connect to their voice in a new, embodied way. I live for that. While I was trained classically, I love singing and teaching across many genres. From the moment I hear you sing, I can sense exactly what you need to become the most confident, connected version of your fully embodied self.
FAQs
-
Plant medicine is any substance derived from natural sources to improve well-being. In the context of mental health, specific plants contain psychedelic compounds which can alter perception, mood, consciousness, cognition, or behavior. Medicinal plants have been used in traditional medicine practices since prehistoric times.
-
Every plant containing psychedelic compounds has a different pharmacodynamic effect. Psilocybe cubensis (or “magic mushroom”) is a serotonin 5-HT2A agonist, meaning it activates the brain’s serotonin receptors. This enables the brain to process serotonin more efficiently, which can be extremely effective in improving mood.
Psilocybin also decreases activity in the brain’s default mode network, which enables the psyche to see situations differently, and change behavior more quickly and effectively. A carefully crafted experience with plant medicine enables an individual to gain insights into the subconscious mind. This provides the opportunity for deeper perspective shifts and long-term benefits.
-
Physiologically, psilocybin is extremely safe and virtually impossible to overdose.
Psychologically, the only individuals discouraged from taking moderate and higher doses of psychedelic compounds are individuals with a history of psychosis.
Because psilocybin affects serotonin—not dopamine (which drugs like cocaine and heroine affect)—it is not addictive. On the contrary, research since the mid 20th century points to the anti-addictive properties of psilocybin—for example, in studies concerning smoking cessation and overconsumption of alcohol.
-
Because psilocybin effectively improves mood and temporarily decreases activity in the brain’s default mode network, it can help individuals perceive life and situations in a new way. The brain is enabled to create new neural pathways to further improve mood and behavior long-term.
Research has pointed to its ability to significantly improve symptoms in individuals with major depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and substance use disorder. New research suggests these disorders may be associated with unresolved past traumatic experiences.

Since the turn of the century, there has been a large influx of scientific research surrounding psychedelics and their therapeutic potential.

What does academic research have to say about the history and effectiveness of psychedelics?
Hominibus apprime utile est,
consuetudines jungere,
seseque iis vincullis astringere,
quibus aptius de se omnibus unum efficiant;
et absolute ea agree,
quae firmandis amicitiis inserviunt.
Animi tamen non armis,
sed Amore et Generositate vincuntur.
Above all, it is useful for people
to establish relationships,
to bind themselves by those bonds,
which are most apt to unite them as one;
and without exception,
to do those things which serve to strengthen friendship.
Hearts, therefore, are won not by arms,
but by love and greatness of soul.
– Benedict de Spinoza (1632-1677)
