Our Next Evolution of High-Integrity,
Heart-Centered Coaching and Practitioner Training
The Psychedelic Coaching Institute exists to provide the highest standard of non-medical professional training in psychedelics.
Until now, we believed the ONLY way we could deliver this with integrity was in an intensive, dynamic, live group environment.
The trade-off was our approach excluded many of the brilliant souls and inspired coaches committed to The Work.
Call schedules, international travel, childcare, finances, and the demands of modern life created blocks for many of our highest potential candidates.
Fortunately, not all beliefs are true.

While we will provide access to our Directory, we do not offer business development support. In addition, we do accept some students who do not yet have an existing coaching practice.
