I’m Jillian, an avid advocate and educator for psychedelic therapy. My approach to natural medicine facilitation is deeply informed by my personal journey through chronic pain and PTSD. After surviving ongoing complex trauma, it was important to me to find healing solutions that addressed root causes rather than symptoms. I worked to lay a solid foundation of health and wellness through years of psychotherapy, EMDR, somatic therapy, coaching, a clean diet, fitness and athletics, meditation, breathwork, retreats, and many other healing modalities. But at a certain point, I felt as if there was still something missing. This led me to explore psychedelic therapy, an experience that fundamentally shifted my understanding of therapeutic transformation and recovery.

This profound personal healing experience became the catalyst for my professional mission. I recognized that sustainable healing occurs when individuals are supported through their challenges with skilled guidance, compassionate presence, and evidence-based protocols. This insight forms the cornerstone of my therapeutic philosophy and practice.

As Co-Founder of Go Within Collective, my team and I established one of Colorado’s first licensed natural medicine healing centers, creating a safe environment that integrates traditional plant medicine wisdom with contemporary standards and therapeutic best practices.

My training portfolio reflects my commitment to comprehensive, trauma-informed care. I am a licensed natural medicine facilitator certified through Medicinal Mindfulness, with specialized credentials in cannabis and psilocybin facilitation. Additional qualifications include Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach, Certified Pain Coach, Microdosing Specialist, Somatic Coach, and Registered Yoga Teacher. Over the course of my life, I have been an athlete and movement practitioner, dedicating the last several years to somatic practices that translate to my therapeutic presence and guidance. My foundational experience as a Registered Dental Hygienist instilled the importance of clinical protocols and attention to detail that characterize my current practice.

In my leadership role at Go Within Collective, I maintain oversight of all client services, from initial assessments through post-journey integration support. I personally manages facilitator onboarding, develop clinical protocols, create educational courses and content, and ensure adherence to the highest standards of safety and therapeutic care. My methodology combines rigorous scientific understanding with intuitive therapeutic presence, recognizing that effective treatment requires both clinical expertise and genuine human connection.

Clients consistently note a sense of authentic presence, warmth, and safety within a therapeutic environment. My approach honors each individual’s unique healing timeline, providing guidance while allowing space for organic therapeutic processes to unfold naturally.

Grounded in the belief that every individual possesses an innate capacity for healing and wholeness, my goal is to create opportunities to access your own transformative potential. It is my honor to support you in your journey toward lasting wellness and personal growth.

I have been working in the field of somatics since 2015, using yoga, breathwork, body
resourcing, and meditation to help people connect with their inner healer. In 2019, my path expanded into the study of psilocybin and other psychedelics, whose profound potential for health and healing resonated deeply with my work. Having spent much of my career supporting trauma survivors through yoga and somatic practices, embracing the therapeutic possibilities of plant medicine felt like a natural and necessary progression.

That same year, I opened Buffalo + Sparrow Yoga Collective, a trauma-sensitive studio
grounded in symbolism. The buffalo, known for its instinctive courage to charge into storms rather than flee, reflects the strength we summon when facing life’s challenges head-on. The sparrow, a timeless emblem of community, guidance, wisdom, and joy, represents the support we need when navigating stress and trauma. Together, these unlikely companions form a roadmap for healing—one that guides survivors toward resilience and wholeness.

Driven by a deep desire to help people move beyond the imprints of trauma, I am pursuing a Master’s Degree in Psychology with an emphasis in Neuroscience at Harvard Extension School. This academic journey weaves seamlessly with my lifelong studies in trauma, the body, the brain, and psychedelic therapy. My intention is to bring clients the most grounded, informed, and compassionate care possible, rooted in both science and lived wisdom.

Psilocybin has also been a source of profound personal healing. It has helped me reclaim lost parts of myself, offering perspective on life’s impermanence and deepening my ability to live awake and alive. As a mother, business owner, student, and yoga teacher, I know what it means to lose yourself in roles. Plant medicine has been my call back, a remembering, a reclamation of the truest parts of me.

It is my greatest purpose to create a safe and sacred space where others can experience plant medicine as a pathway home: back to themselves, back to their innate ability to heal, and back to the fullness of being fully, vibrantly alive.

Parad is excited to be a facilitator of legalized natural medicine in Colorado. She deeply
believes in the transformative potential of psychedelics to support healing and growth—especially when experienced in a safe, supportive, and well-held environment.

Parad is a somatic trauma psychotherapist by trade, and throughout her career, she has specialized in working with individuals with complex trauma histories (e.g. CPTSD, PTSD, attachment, relational & developmental trauma wounding). She also has many years working with substance use and addiction, which often go hand-in-hand with trauma. She feels enriched by her work with LGBTQAI+ individuals, and is committed to creating a welcoming, affirming, and culturally responsive space for BIPOC clients. She brings an awareness of the nuanced dynamics that can arise when working across racial identities and approaches this with humility, openness, and ongoing self-reflection as a white facilitator.

Working somatically, Parad honors the body as both a container for and a pathway to releasing trauma, and enjoys incorporating parts work in her holistic approach. She feels strongly that interpersonal connection is one of the most important foundational elements of healing, and her style is relational and collaborative.

You can expect that Parad will bring her many years of clinical experience, knowledge, and style into her role as a clinical facilitator of natural medicine. She is not a fan of pathologizing mental health, though she understands the usefulness of a diagnosis; rather she prefers to work by understanding and being with the whole-person. This means understanding symptoms or triggers as areas of struggle and pain, and using those areas as places to start exploring, creating curiosity, deepening self-knowledge, and increasing nurturing. All aspects of our being are important when we are on a journey of self-discovery, from our bodies and health, mental states, what we consume (e.g. food, media), and where, how, and with whom we spend our time.

Parad completed her Colorado approved facilitator training program and practicum with the Integrative Psychiatry Institute in 2025. Additionally, Parad has over a decade of personal and professional experience with non-ordinary states of consciousness. She believes that unless there is a significant barrier, it is vitally important for a facilitator of natural medicine to have their own experiences with these substances, as each psychedelic has its own unique quality, ‘language’, and experiential landscape. She aims to attune and energetically join you on your journey, and loves the shape that music can take in these spaces as an offering to deepen and add texture to your experience.

Since Parad holds a Clinical Facilitator in Training License, she is available to work with a range of interested participants, including those with mental health diagnoses. As you’ve read above, Parad specializes and enjoys working with people with trauma. She equally values supporting individuals on paths of growth and self-expansion, regardless of diagnosis. She loves working with people who want to ‘go deep’, personally, psychologically, and/or spiritually, and feels confident and comfortable being with whatever shows up in a journey space. Her journey spaces are held with strong psychological grounding, and when appropriate, she enjoys weaving in ritual elements that align with the participant’s needs or intentions.

Parad greatly supports people engaging in transformative life experiences and feels hopeful that the more we each embrace our personal evolutionary journey, we make the world a healthier and more beautiful place. Parad welcomes you on your path of healing and transformation and is honored to walk beside you.

Licensed Clinical Facilitator
Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Addiction Counselor

Catie Tobin is a licensed psilocybin facilitator at Go Within Collective, and a
psychotherapist based in the mountains of Colorado. Her work blends clinical skills,
trauma-informed care, and a deep respect for the healing potential of expanded states of consciousness.

Catie approaches both therapy and psychedelic facilitation as vocations that require
ongoing self-reflection and inner work. She believes this commitment to personal growth is essential—not only for ethical practice, but also because it enhances her ability to show up with presence, intuition, and authenticity in her work with clients. She also brings humor and lightness into her work, helping to build connection and make the healing process feel human and grounded.

She works best with clients who are ready to engage in deep, reflective work—whether they’re seeking to heal from trauma, navigate a major life transition, or explore their inner world more fully. Many of her clients are trauma survivors, individuals dealing with persistent mental health challenges like depression, anxiety, or addiction, or people who feel stuck despite doing a lot of personal growth work already.

She also loves working with spiritually curious or introspective clients—those drawn to
psychedelic-assisted therapy not because they’re in crisis, but because they’re looking
for expansion, clarity, or a deeper sense of connection, authenticity, and freedom.
Catie is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Addiction Counselor, and
received her psilocybin-assisted facilitation training through Naropa University in 2024.

She holds a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Montana State
University and a Master of Public Health in Epidemiology from Boston University. Catie
has completed advanced training in EMDR and trauma-informed care, and is also
trained in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and MDMA-assisted therapy through the
MAPS protocol. Her clinical work is grounded in evidence-based practices, while also
drawing on a deep understanding of systems, somatics, and consciousness studies.
Catie’s earlier career included work in global public health, outdoor education and
guiding, and experiential mental health.

Outside of work, she finds grounding in nature and inspiration in culture—spending her free time hiking, dancing, reading memoirs, and making extended visits to New York, where she’s originally from.

Mandy Grace
Licensed Natural Medicine Facilitator, RN, BSN
tranquiltranscendence.com

Mandy Grace is a licensed natural medicine facilitator, registered nurse, and lifelong seeker devoted to the art of healing and transformation. Her work is rooted in trauma-informed care, her extensive clinical background, and her own lived experience of navigating a life shaped by profound trauma, resilience, and renewal.

Mandy brings nine years of experience as a registered nurse, including certification as an AIDS Certified Registered Nurse (ACRN), where she specialized in HIV care and worked closely with individuals facing complex medical and emotional challenges. These years at the clinic shaped her ability to hold steady, compassionate presence through suffering, grief, and crisis—skills that now translate seamlessly into her work with sacred medicine.

She holds a Certificate in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapies and Research (CPTR) from the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS), one of the most respected programs in the field, and completed extensive experiential training and practicum work with Innertrek in Oregon. As a licensed facilitator in Colorado, she blends rigorous clinical training with deep ceremonial practice, offering safe and intentional psilocybin experiences that honor both the body and the soul.

Her own initiatory healing experiences—including life-changing psilocybin journeys—inform her unique ability to guide others through their own processes. Having alchemized a lifetime of hardship into wisdom and purpose, Mandy brings authenticity, empathy, and unwavering integrity to every client and ceremony.

Mandy’s work is especially devoted to shadow work, healing the inner child, and supporting individuals as they reclaim lost or fragmented parts of themselves. She believes true healing begins when we create the safety and courage to face the unspoken, embrace our vulnerabilities, and allow light to return to places long hidden. She is also deeply engaged with the tools of Human Design, breathwork, and her own ongoing self-work, using them as pathways to deepen self-understanding and support others in accessing their innate power and clarity.

Her approach is relational, heart-centered, and collaborative. She does not pathologize or reduce individuals to symptoms, but instead honors the wholeness of each person as they move through grief, trauma, spiritual awakening, or personal transformation. Whether walking beside someone in their darkest night or celebrating their emergence into a new chapter, Mandy’s presence is steady, grounded, and filled with reverence.

Through her practice, Tranquil Transcendence, Mandy’s mission is to hold sacred space for others to come back home to themselves—to remember their worth, reconnect with their wholeness, and embody their truest essence. She believes that each journey taken in authenticity not only heals the individual, but ripples outward, raising the vibration of the collective and making the world a more compassionate, beautiful place.

Licensed Natural Medicine Facilitator
MSW (Master of Social Work), RYT-500 Trauma-Informed Yoga & Somatic Practitioner

Specialties: childhood sexual trauma, relationship trauma, body-based integration, nervous-
system-centered support, somatic resourcing, mid-life emergence, creative process work, and spiritual curiosity journeys.

I am a Licensed Natural Medicine Facilitator with a Master of Social Work degree whose work centers on creating a steady, attuned space where the remembering of one’s essence can naturally unfold. My approach is grounded in the belief that we are not broken, and we are not something to be fixed, but rather rediscovered — that beneath the layers of survival, conditioning, and pain lives an intact, radiant inner light waiting to be remembered.

My path into this work has been shaped by a lifelong relationship with the creative process, a deep reverence for somatic wisdom, and more than twenty years supporting children and families through therapeutic, social work, and community-based roles. I have been practicing yoga for nearly two decades, with specialized training in trauma-informed practices, nervous system regulation, and body-based healing. My education at Naropa University continues to inform my integrative, contemplative, and non-dual lens, offering a spiritual foundation that remains gentle, accessible, and rooted in lived experience rather than dogma. My commitment to this work is also deeply personal—shaped by my own journey of remembering after early childhood abuse, periods of addiction, and long seasons of feeling disconnected from myself. These lived experiences allow me to meet others with depth, compassion, and a profound trust in the resilience and wholeness that lives within all of us.

My facilitation style is warm, relational, and deeply embodied. I bring a grounded, nurturing
presence — shaped by my years as a mother, caregiver, and creative — that helps clients feel supported enough to explore their own depths. I specialize in working with people navigating the echoes of childhood sexual trauma, relational wounding, and mid-life transition, as well as those drawn to psychedelic work for creative expansion, emotional clarity, or the simple desire to know themselves more fully.

I see medicine work as an inherently creative collaboration: an excavation, a tender unearthing, and an invitation into the subtle intelligence of the body. I trust the medicines not only as tools for healing, but also as teachers — guides that support problem-solving, insight, and connection to the imaginal and intuitive realms.

Outside of facilitation, I love spending time in nature, I am also the mother of two nearly grown sons, a photographer, and a poet at heart. These threads inform the way I listen, witness, and hold space — with curiosity, spaciousness, and an abiding respect for each person’s inner landscape.

My intention is simple: to walk beside you as you remember your own essence, your own
resilience, and your own wholeness — the parts of you that have never been lost.

Natural Medicine Facilitator in Training | Grief & Trauma Support Specialist

I am a psychedelic facilitator with three years of professional experience guiding individuals through psilocybin-assisted healing. I completed my education and Practicum with Medicinal Mindfulness. My practice is grounded in trauma-informed care, emotional safety, and the belief that intentional psychedelic experiences can support profound personal transformation.

My approach is shaped by a lifetime of navigating complex grief. Early losses—including the death of my brother at age seven and several young family members, some to suicide—deepened my understanding of long-term emotional trauma. As I matured, my path included surviving domestic violence, healing that relationship, and later processing the sudden loss of my children’s father in a tragic accident. These cumulative experiences contributed to chronic anxiety and ultimately guided me toward intentional healing work.
Growing up bisexual in a small, conservative town also informed my commitment to creating inclusive, affirming spaces for all identities. I also have experience supporting people within the poly and ethically non-monogomous community. I value working with LGBTQIA+ clients and am dedicated to creating a supportive, culturally aware environment for people from diverse racial and cultural backgrounds.

I specialize in supporting individuals who are experiencing:
• Grief and bereavement
• Post Trumatic Stress Disorder
• Sexual Identity and relationship-related challenges
• Anxiety and depression rooted in long-term or layered loss

My sessions emphasize safety, grounding, empathy, and personalized support throughout the psychedelic journey.

My mission is to help others navigate grief with compassion and clarity, transforming pain into resilience and renewed purpose. Through structured psilocybin facilitation, I aim to serve as a trusted guide and healing partner for those ready to explore meaningful inner work.

Practice Values
• Trauma-informed support
• Client autonomy
• Inclusivity and identity affirmation
• Emotional safety and confidentiality
• Compassionate presence and non-judgment
