From debilitating anxiety to profound joy—Julie Cyvonne never imagined mushrooms would transform her life. After losing her father at age six, Julie developed intense anxiety, depression, and control issues that followed her into adulthood. Despite becoming a successful attorney, she felt unfulfilled by a legal system that left everyone feeling worse than when they started.

Everything changed when Julie discovered the healing potential of psilocybin mushrooms. Not only did they help her overcome her own trauma, but they revealed her true calling: guiding other women through transformative psychedelic experiences. Today, she facilitates intimate retreats limited to just 5-6 participants, ensuring each woman receives the personalized attention needed for deep healing.

Julie passionately distinguishes between microdosing (small amounts of 100-200mg following specific protocols) and ceremonial journeys (larger doses of 2+ grams in therapeutic settings). Both approaches offer pathways to healing, but Julie emphasizes the critical importance of integration—applying insights from psychedelic experiences to everyday life. "The journey is 3% of the work," she explains. "97% is allowing it to change your life and putting in the work for it to change your life."

Unlike substances that create dependency, psychedelics have no addictive properties. They've historically been used to break addiction patterns. However, Julie cautions against "ceremony hopping" or using psychedelics to escape rather than engage with life's challenges. She challenges those who retreat from society: "Psychedelics are here to wake you up, to go volunteer in your community. Stop avoiding the problem, stop avoiding the hard work."

For high-achieving, perfectionist women who've tied their worth to productivity, Julie offers transformative advice: "Let go of right." Just as eating a kale salad while hating every bite is more detrimental than enjoying pizza with friends without guilt, wellness practices only work when they genuinely feel good. "You can't mess up your healing," she assures.
