Co-founder & CEO | Go Within Collective
Specialties: chronic pain and fibromyalgia, trauma-informed care, abuse survivorship, psychedelic integration, microdosing specialist, somatic movement, burnout recovery, nervous system regulation, leadership support, personal development, and therapeutic art
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.



Catie Tobin
Licensed Clinical Facilitator
Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Addiction Counselor
CatieTobin.com
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
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.


Gabrial Reising
(she/they)
Licensed Natural Medicine Facilitator
MSW (Master of Social Work), RYT-500 Trauma-Informed Yoga & Somatic Practitioner
SaviturYoga.com
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.


Amber Gray
Natural Medicine Facilitator in Training | Psilocybin Facilitator | Life Transition, Stress & Grief
Grief and major life transitions share something in common: they ask you to become someone new before you’re ready. My work is built for people standing in that threshold.

- Grief & Bereavement
- Post-Traumatic Stress
- Sexual & Relationship Identity

ABOUT
I am a psychedelic facilitator with three years of professional experience guiding individuals through psilocybin-assisted healing. I completed my training and practicum with Medicinal Mindfulness, and my practice is grounded in trauma-informed care, emotional safety, and the belief that intentional psychedelic experiences can open pathways to profound personal transformation.
My approach is inseparable from lived experience. I carry my own history of cumulative loss, including early bereavement, surviving domestic violence, the sudden death of my children’s father, and years of navigating complex chronic health challenges. These experiences have deepened my understanding of grief, resilience, self-advocacy, and the many ways loss can shape a person’s identity and path forward.
Growing up bisexual in a small, conservative town shaped my commitment to creating spaces where people feel genuinely seen, heard, and valued. I have experience supporting members of LGBTQIA+ communities, individuals in polyamorous and ethically non-monogamous relationships, and those navigating chronic illness, pain, fertility concerns, and major life transitions. I am dedicated to providing culturally responsive, affirming care for people of all backgrounds and lived experiences.
MY MISSION
My sessions center on safety, grounding, empathy, and personalized support throughout every
stage of the psychedelic journey. I strive to be a trusted guide and healing partner, helping
individuals navigate grief, trauma, life transitions, and health-related challenges with
compassion and clarity. My goal is to support people in transforming pain into resilience,
meaning, and renewed purpose.

- Trauma-Informed Support
- Compassionate Presence
- Authentic Connection
- Client Autonomy & Self-Advocacy

Rachel Stroud
Licensed Facilitator
E-RYT 500 Yoga Instructor
Trauma-Sensitive Certified in Somatics & Yoga
YACEP
buffaloandsparrow.com
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.



Deborah Nuccio
Licensed Clinical Facilitator | Physician Assistant | Master’s in Palliative Care from University of Colorado Anschutz 2018
I began my career in medicine as a Physician Assistant; I worked many years in clinics and hospitals, with the majority of my experience in the Neurosurgery Department. Many of my patients had pain and benefitted from surgery and were able to return to their normal life. Some patients, however, suffered from incurable neurological diseases, including brain tumors, which can strike in the prime of life. Many of my patients had to be told their life expectancy was measured in months. My experiences with such patients, for whom the specter of impending death can give rise to unsettling and confusing emotions, led me to pursue further training.
I then enrolled at CU’s Anschutz Medical Center; in 2018 I obtained a master’s degree in Palliative Care. I then began working with patients with chronic diseases, and at a hospice with patients confronting end-of-life. Some of my patients were distraught, some terrified. Such circumstances are often accompanied by existential distress, fear, anxiety, and depression. Much of my focus was to assist my patients in relief from mental distress, with the goal being their ability to find peace.
As part of my palliative care training, I learned how psychedelics, guided with therapy, can lead to positive changes in a patient’s outlook and level of anxiety. This method of inner exploration can be surprisingly effective in clearing one’s mind, in part by opening one’s mind. This therapy can enable finding acceptance and resolutions to previously unresolvable issues, and by quelling the many disturbances that often accompany such difficult circumstances. I then pursued specialized training in this type of psychedelic treatment with the Integrative Psychiatric Institute and became licensed as a Natural Medicine Facilitator in Colorado.
I offer therapy, assisted with psilocybin or ketamine, for individuals who are encountering depression and anxiety, those with distress associated with end-of-life issues, and those seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and the universe.
