Frequently Asked Questions

  • Everyone completes a detailed intake form followed by a screening call.

    We’ll explore:

    • physical health

    • mental health history

    • medications

    • past psychedelic experience

    • intentions and readiness

    • support systems

    Screening ensures that the medicine is approached safely, respectfully, and in alignment with your wellbeing.

  • Contraindications include MAOIs, lithium, certain SSRIs/SNRIs, unmanaged mental health conditions, seizure disorders, serious heart or respiratory issues, and active psychosis or mania.

    We will discuss all of this during the intake process.

  • Typically, ceremonies are held one-on-one to protect the integrity of your process.

    Exceptions may be made for:

    • accessible needs

    • partner or friend sessions

    • unique circumstances

    We’ll explore this together during preparation.

  • Some people feel complete after one session.

    Others return for additional sessions to explore deeper layers or work with new intentions.

    You will never be encouraged to go beyond what feels right; pacing is always participant-led.

  • 5-MeO-DMT is legal for personal use and possession in Canada, but sale, distribution, and related activities are regulated under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.

  • If it appears that 5-MeO-DMT is not the right fit at this time, I’ll share that clearly and compassionately. Suitability isn’t a judgment, it’s a commitment to your safety.

    When appropriate, I may offer recommendations for other practitioners or modalities, as well as guidance on what may need to stabilize before revisiting this work. You are always welcome to reconnect in the future.

  • No! People commonly mistake NN-DMT and 5-MeO-DMT. They are very different.

    Unlike its close chemical relative N,N-DMT which typically induces vivid visual breakthroughs, entity encounters, and otherworldly realms, 5-MeO-DMT is off in its own category often producing a non-visual "whiteout" of ego dissolution, boundless unity, and somatic intensity. It is described as feeling uniquely primal, visceral, and transcendent.

  • 5-MeO-DMT is unlike any other psychedelic in both intensity and phenomenology:

    • Short duration (20–45 min)

    • Non-visual (often a “whiteout” rather than imagery)

    • Profound ego dissolution

    • Strong somatic release potential

    • Deep sense of unity or pure awareness

    Mushrooms, LSD, and DMT tend to expand experience outward.

    5-MeO dissolves the one who is experiencing.

    Its depth is why preparation, support, and integration matter.
