"Luke and Alexa facilitated a psilocybin experience for the two of us, which unexpectedly took us deep into our relationship. With their help in preparation, ceremony, and subsequent integration we had couple's therapy involving deep, and sometimes painful, insights and, gratefully, much more understanding and growth as an outcome. The set and setting, including breathwork, meditation, and all of their personal touches were amazing. We heartily recommend they hold space for you."
