Supporting you
as you come home to yourself

Ayahuasca integration coaching & consultation

Welcome to The Gentle Path

Shining a light into these shadowy places is one of the most courageous things to do in service of self-discovery, healing, and growth

Learning, healing, and growing with the help of ayahuasca is brave.

Brave because this powerful psychedelic medicine – discovered and stewarded for generations by Indigenous peoples of the Global South – shows us all parts of ourselves, including the parts that are deeply hurt and hidden away by our ingenious mind and protective nervous system.

Shining a light into these shadowy places is one of the most courageous things one can do in service of self-discovery, healing, and growth.

Your story has not yet been fully told

Working with ayahuasca can bring harmony and balance to the body/mind. But the pathway can be uncomfortable and disorienting. Finding an anchor in someone who has experience navigating these waters can be helpful and sometimes essential.

Coaching before and after your ayahuasca ceremonies can support you to prepare for and then put into practice the teachings ayahuasca offers you

Hello, I’m Meris Williams

Preparation & Integration Coach | Ayahuasca Consultant | Psychedelics Researcher

I support people to prepare for and integrate their ayahuasca experiences, helping them to make the most of their ceremonies and seed positive, meaningful change.

I believe each of us has an innate, wired-in drive for healing, self-discovery, and growth that ayahuasca can catalyze when the conditions are right. Preparation and integration work with trustworthy others is often one of those right conditions. In my own multi-year journey with ayahuasca and other psychedelic medicines, this type of support has been a fundamental part of my healing process.

I have a PhD in Counselling Psychology from the University of British Columbia, Canada, and more than 20 years of experience as a therapist. I am a published psychedelics researcher.

I believe preparation and integration coaching helps promote an ethical approach to psychedelics use and a mature stance on drug policy, education, and safety. My wish is for your ayahuasca ceremonies to be as safe and helpful as possible.

I also hold in my heart a vision for the future in which plant medicines and other psychedelics are carefully safeguarded, respected, and equitably integrated into systems of care, to foster personal wellness but also to expand beyond it, for the wellbeing of all.

I’m here to support you
