What happens when traditional medicine falls short and you need to look beyond conventional treatments for healing? Sometimes the answer lies in ancient practices that have been helping people for thousands of years.

In this episode, I sit down with Elizabeth Schuler, a psychedelic yoga therapist currently based in Belgium. Liz shares her journey from clinical psychology to integrative healing, moving across three countries over the past decade while developing her unique approach. We dive deep into the differences between microdosing and macrodosing, the importance of proper preparation and integration, and how she combines yoga therapy, Reiki, and plant medicines like psilocybin and blue lotus. Liz explains the legal landscape in Europe, the challenges of building a practice while traveling, and why the therapeutic relationship matters more than any specific technique. We also clear up common misconceptions about different mushroom varieties and plant medicines, plus practical advice for anyone considering this path.

Whether you're curious about alternative healing modalities or looking for ways to integrate ancient wisdom with modern wellness practices, this conversation offers valuable insights into a growing field that's helping people heal from chronic conditions, trauma, and more.

BEST MOMENTS:

"My belief and the research backs me up on this is that healing is relational and we need other people to help us co regulate and co create and mirror and attune and resonate."

"It opens up doors that you didn't even know were doors, if that makes sense. If you don't know what you don't know. Right. And so when you even just traveling, you don't have to live somewhere. Living somewhere I think gives you an even deeper understanding."

"I think that healing should be accessible and we all deserve to be able to heal."

"Just because everybody's different, everybody needs something different and what works well for one person isn't necessarily going to work the same. It may work well or it may not work well."
