“This trauma-informed program is, hands down, one of the most effective, thorough, and beautifully executed online training experiences I’ve had the honour of participating in.

Witnessing Atira hold the container for this training was a true gift of transmission of trauma-informed facilitation, and by the end I felt like I had experienced my own personal healing in addition to gaining important knowledge and perspective."

I would absolutely recommend this course to those in the plant medicine facilitation world, especially because of the prevalence of trauma in all its many forms, and how it can emerge during altered states of consciousness.

- Kendall Hinkley, Licensed Massage Therapist, USA

“I’ve just completed the Trauma-Informed Plant Medicine Facilitation training with, and I’m honestly blown away.

I cannot recommend this training enough for anyone working in the plant medicine space—whether you’re facilitating, supporting, or offering integration. I feel that this should be a compulsory foundational training (alongside 1st Aid) for all medicine healers and support.

It feels like this should be foundational training for all practitioners, alongside something as essential as first aid. Atira is a rare bridge between plant medicine and trauma therapy."

- Skye Mendozay

“A huge thank you for the incredible SPMI training—I absolutely loved it.

I learned so much, both personally and professionally, and gained a deeper understanding of what it truly means to work in a trauma-informed way. Being part of this space felt genuinely meaningful.

The sense of community was so strong, and it feels like I’ve made connections that will stay with me for life.”

- Kasia DiAngelo, UK

“Atira’s sessions brought me clarity, wisdom, and the encouragement I needed to continue my recovery from sexual abuse and childhood trauma.

With her support, I was able to move through severe pelvic pain and nervous system dysregulation and begin to reclaim my boundaries and sense of self. Without her guidance, my journey would not have been the same. The wholeness I feel within is so much brighter than I have ever felt before.

The shifts I experienced have been profound and lasting. I recommend Atira as a therapist and guide to anyone who needs support.”

- Josefine Bergman

“Thank you for creating the Somatic Plant Medicine Integration Program. This course has been truly beautiful and life-changing—both for me personally and in the way I now support others.

It’s given me a deeper level of confidence and clarity in my work. I feel incredibly grateful and genuinely excited for where this path will continue to lead.”

- Carla Fernandes, Portugal

“The Somatic Plant Medicine Integration Program was exactly what I had been looking for, and it added a meaningful new dimension to my work as an independent counsellor.

Shortly after completing the program, I was invited to join a plant ceremony team as their Integration Specialist.

I now support participants through one-on-one preparation and integration sessions, and the SPMI training gave me the tools to step into this role with confidence."

- Marijntje Lazet, The Netherlands

“Thank you, Atira—the SPMI training was incredible. I’ve been able to integrate it not only into psychedelic work, but also into soul retrieval and hypnotherapy sessions, where it’s added real depth and structure.

I loved the trauma-informed materials, and the integration sessions I conducted after the training were equally AMAZING. I could witness the somatic revelations of my clients and the somatic awareness of the transformative power in the integration sessions.

Using the somatic model you share as an anchoring tool has been especially powerful in supporting deeper client insights and helping to complete sessions in a more embodied way."

- Cara Sadira, Hypnotherapist and Integration Coach, Hawaii, USA

“I found the SPMI course to be excellent.

Atira’s presence, the pace of the training, and the sense of community created felt thoughtful and supportive throughout. What stood out most was how the experience went beyond intellectual learning into something grounded, embodied, and emotionally connected.

The content, approach, and framework of the Somatic Plant Medicine Integration model were an excellent foundation that has brought greater depth and clarity to my own integration sessions and psychedelic practice."

- Nigel Pedlingham, The Netherlands, Psychedelic Assisted Practitioner

“I completed both the Trauma-Informed Plant Medicine Facilitation Program and the Somatic Plant Medicine Integration Program and share my deepest gratitude for Atira and her teachings. I gained so much from both training programs, and I’ve been applying the tools, teachings, and techniques frequently in my work and witnessing deeply meaningful results.

The learning has translated directly into my practice in a way that feels grounded and effective."

- Theresa Field, UK

"I would like to express my gratitude for the SPMI program, which was only made possible through winning a full scholarship.

The course exceeded my expectations. Through the practice sessions and feedback, I experienced firsthand how powerful this work can be, and Atira’s facilitation touched me in a way no other online training has.

The PDF manual is also an incredibly valuable resource that I continue to return to. I’m committed to offering these sessions over the next year to deepen my skills and help establish the importance of plant medicine integration work within my community.”

- Marina Alves, Brazil

“This was one of the best trainings I have ever taken, and I feel deep gratitude for you and everyone involved in making it possible.

The experience was both meaningful and impactful, and it’s stayed with me beyond the training itself.

I’m leaving with a strong sense of direction and excitement for what’s ahead, and a deeper trust in the path I’m walking.”

- Whitney Marchman, USA

“I wholeheartedly recommend the Somatic Plant Medicine Integration course—it is an extremely high-quality training on every level. Atira brings deep knowledge, experience, and genuine compassion, and the program is grounded in a powerful foundation of somatic psychology and is genuinely "trauma-informed."

The methodology is clear and practical without being rigid, and a collaborative and supportive community supports the learning environment.

Atira ensures that the training is accessible by making it the most affordable integration training available. I’m grateful to be a certified practitioner, doing my part to bring this approach to plant medicine work into the world."

- Troy McFadden, PCC

“Atira is an exceptional educator. Both the Somatic Plant Medicine Integration and Trauma-Informed Plant Medicine Facilitation programs have been deeply impactful—not only in my professional development but also in my own healing journey.

I can honestly say that these courses have been one of the best investments I’ve made.

Atira creates a safe, compassionate, and accessible learning environment for everyone, no matter their plant medicine experience, education, or professional background. She models trauma-informed facilitation beautifully, which is why deep personal healing happens in this container of safety.

I’m so grateful to have this experience and the trauma-informed community. I now share this wisdom as a spaceholder supporting others in their plant medicine journey.

- Maria Koehn, Vancouver

“Thank you so much for your teaching, guidance, and leadership throughout the Trauma-Informed Plant Medicine Facilitation Program.

It was a privilege to learn in a space that felt so calm, conscious, and genuinely compassionate.

Thank you for being the teacher who truly helped me to realise and see just how much I have to offer to the world.

I'm grateful to this program for inspiring me to continue nurturing my passion, showing me that I'm on the right path, and giving me the confidence to continue forging my path.

I truly hope that one day I will not only make a change in my patients' and participants' lives, but also that I can continue spreading your teachings and wisdom to others so that, together as a community, we can change the world.

I’m deeply thankful for the impact of this program."

- Mohamed Hassan, Medical Doctor, South Africa

“I’m deeply grateful for this profound work. I entered the Trauma-Informed Plant Medicine Facilitation Program to become a better facilitator, but it has literally changed my life—and the lives of my family.

Each week, I have felt "more of me" return and become embodied.

I've never felt so positive about what the future holds for me personally and for my medicine work.

I wholeheartedly recommend Atira’s work to anyone and everyone I know.

- Kanachiari, Facilitator, Canada

“Having completed both Atira’s Trauma-Informed Plant Medicine Facilitator and Somatic Plant Medicine Integration Practitioner trainings, I can't recommend them enough.

They offer a rare combination of deep theoretical understanding of trauma and the nervous system, alongside practical, on-the-ground, in-the-moment skills and tools for plant medicine facilitation and holding space in a grounded, ethical, and embodied way.

I found these training programs to be full-bodied and thoughtfully orchestrated, organised, and well-presented, offering a cohesive combination of trauma-informed and somatic-oriented values, foundations, principles, frameworks, and tools for facilitating during ceremonies/retreats and supporting participants beforehand or thereafter.

The content from these trainings, along with practising the tools and principles, has helped me tremendously in my own personal healing journey, as well as supporting others.

I’ve seen a remarkably positive impact in bringing these tools and resources into my work, life, and relations, and definitely recommend the trainings to anyone who works in the field.   

- Nick Carter, USA

“My heart is full of gratitude for the Trauma-Informed Plant Medicine Facilitation Training.

It’s been a real privilege to be part of this program and to carry what I’ve learned back into my wider community. I truly believe that sharing the principles of this program itself is medicine for the world.

Thank you for creating this program and creating this community, because the knowledge and wisdom that Atira holds need to be shared and rippled through the world.

Atira has created something truly special, and I felt honored to be part of this community and this work.”

- Estera Zajanckauskaite, USA

“Thank you for the Trauma-Informed Plant Medicine Facilitation Program—it truly exceeded every expectation.

I’ve taken many plant medicine courses over the years, and nothing has come close to the depth and quality of this training.

I’ve already begun integrating the practices into my work with clients, and the impact has been genuinely transformative. This training has shifted how I approach my sessions in a meaningful and grounded way.”

- Nicole Marie Gray, USA, Integration Coach

“After completing the Trauma Informed Plant Medicine Facilitator training, I organised a retreat alongside an experienced curandero and applied the trauma-informed principles throughout the entire journey. The difference was immediate—the space felt deeply nourishing, safe, and supportive for participants to engage in their healing. Witnessing their breakthroughs and transformations was incredibly powerful.”

- Alison Keiper, USA, Integration Coach

“The real ceremony begins when we return home, as my teacher used to say. While ‘integration’ has become a common term in plant medicine spaces, there is often a lack of clarity around how to truly support lasting, meaningful change after the experience. This course bridges that gap. By integrating neuroscience with trauma-informed somatic principles, it offers practical tools to help participants ground their insights and embody the wisdom received—so the healing can be sustained over time.”

- Ignacia Schiesewitz

“Atira’s Somatic Plant Medicine Integration Program has been one of the most important resources on my plant medicine journey so far. It supported me in moving my experiences out of the mind and into my nervous system, allowing for a more embodied and lasting integration. The training offers practical somatic skills that can be applied both personally and with others, and while foundational, it goes to a deep and meaningful level.”

- Jorg B, Germany

“The Somatic Plant Medicine Integration Program has become the core of how I work with my clients. I’m consistently seeing meaningful shifts—confusion giving way to clarity, and real resolution happening more quickly. My clients are responding deeply to this approach, and I’m continually amazed by the depth of transformation that’s possible. This work has fundamentally changed how I support others.”

- Roxana Gormley, Mesesan, UAE

“I highly recommend this course and Atira’s work. As a plant medicine facilitator and trainee psychotherapist, I understand how essential integration is—and this somatic approach is both profound and practical. Since completing the training, I’ve seen clear shifts in my clients, with greater safety, clarity, and meaning emerging, even from experiences long ago. The course itself was engaging, highly professional, and well resourced.”

- Jaime Wrate, Psychotherapist, UK

“Studying and mentoring with Atira has been life-changing. I came to the SPMI program feeling that something was missing in my plant medicine work, but I couldn’t yet name what it was. This training didn’t just fill that gap—it changed the trajectory of both my career and my personal healing journey. I now feel more confident, attuned, and grounded in how I support my clients and myself.”

- Riva Jean-Paul, USA

“The Somatic Plant Medicine Integration Practitioner program has profoundly transformed how I approach my integration sessions. I came in with prior experience, but left with a completely new toolkit and a much deeper understanding of trauma and somatic therapy. Even though I couldn’t attend the live sessions, I still felt supported and connected through the recorded calls."

- Rebecca Ulizio, USA
