01 — The Story

I lived through what you might be facing.

An ayahuasca ceremony I thought would heal me opened a door I couldn't close. What followed was five months of severe psychosis, a schizophrenia diagnosis, and a stay in a psychiatric ward.

Recovery wasn't a clean line. It was movement. Mood. Food. Sleep. Honest doctors. Long walks. Cold water. And the slow rebuilding of a self I'd lost.

"It feels like discovering the darkest area of your mind — and not being able to close the door on the way out."
