“Working with Jillian has been a truly transformative experience. She is a consummate professional in the realm of psychedelic and cannabis journey work, bringing a level of structure and therapeutic depth that is rare to find. From the initial preparation to the post-journey integration, every step is handled with exceptional care and clarity.
What stands out most is Jillian’s remarkable ability to hold space with confidence and calm, creating an environment that feels not only warm and inviting but also deeply safe and protected. Her presence inspires trust, allowing for deep exploration and healing to unfold naturally. I’m incredibly grateful for her guidance and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a grounded, therapeutic, and profoundly supportive journey.”

“Jillian provided a calm presence and a confidence in the overall positive outcomes that we were likely to experience. During my experience, I really appreciated the music selection and the extent to which it felt like Jillian was watching out for me: reminding me to breath, occasionally checking in to see how I was feeling, helping me stay warm and comfortable, giving positive reassurance and feedback to the things I was thinking about and talking about. But also, it felt like space was given for the experience to unfold, develop, and happen without interruption. The balancing of communication (how much and when) was perfectly handled.
The intensity of the physical response my body had to the mushrooms [surprised me]. This is something I had experienced at a lower level before but hadn’t at that time known how to interpret or understand. By the end of this journey, though I was physically and emotionally exhausted from all the movement, I felt like I had reached some kind of understanding.
Near the end I felt like I had worked my way towards a memory of myself as a child and then communicated with that younger self in a way that brought feelings of love, connection, and support that were very powerful. I was shaking and crying and it felt both intensely special and beautiful. I appreciated being given the space to experience this without interruption, even though it may have seemed like I was going through something negative.
I think the integration is still ongoing as I look for ways to keep the communication open between my conscious self and the parts of me that are operating just under the surface. Day to day I’m trying to remember how good it felt to just relax and be myself and worry less about what other people think of me.”

“I’ve been working with Jillian for 6 months and she’s helped me navigate some serious life changes and ups and downs. She always knows just what to say or what goal to set. She holds me accountable and keeps me progressing towards my goals. Jillian is an incredibly talented professional and I hope to continue working with her for a long time. She really does spark that inner light inside.”

“My coaching experience with Jillian was so rewarding! She helped me set realistic achievable goals and asked thought-provoking questions that motivated me. She provided the right amount of pushing/nudging that I needed to reach my goals. Her calm energy and non-judgmental manner along with the follow up method she used really encouraged me. With Jillian’s coaching I was able to achieve my goals of improved self-care and developing an evening routine.”

“Jillian provided clear and satisfying answers to all of my questions and explained what I should expect. She asked questions about my experience, previous mushroom use- and seemed to be assessing my readiness and ability to safely engage in a journey. Preparation was very informative and reassuring.
She chose the perfect music for my experience. The room was comfortable. She occasionally reminded me to breathe. She helped me move as needed. Most of all, she had established herself with me as someone I could trust while being under the influence of a powerful drug/medicine…. vulnerable. So, I experienced no fear of judgement, I had complete comfort in the environment, and even though this was my first journey, I felt safe, protected, understood and that my experience would be respected as private.
I am now calmer, sleep better, and have a deeper understanding of my (very tiny) place in the “universe”, and a deepened commitment to meditation and better physical, mental and behavioral health behaviors. I have done therapy, meditation, spiritual direction, yoga….This experience was more deeply profound than the total of all of those- but the experience was also rich because of them.
I cannot state forcefully enough, how extremely important it was for me to feel that I could trust my guide. I was putting my brain, overall safety and well-being in someone else’s hands. In Jillian‘s hands. That trust was very well placed. Jillian’s energy is very clean, she’s very skilled, kind, knowledgeable, and trustworthy.

“Because of some things that were lacking in a journey I did in OR in 2021, I specifically wanted to work with someone with extensive experience, knowledge, and formal training, and who was licensed under the new Colorado rules. After delving into my concerns with Jillian, I felt fully confident I would have a very different experience with her than I my previous guide. We carefully planned for ways to manage nausea and insomnia, should this occur (which it didn’t) and my integration experience was vastly more satisfying and valuable to me. I am thrilled with my results.
I felt Jillian did a wonderful job with me. I would like to add that she did make herself available to me outside of our scheduled appointments (which was not the case with my previous experience) should I need information / have a question or if I wanted to share some new insight – she was very responsive and celebrated with me. I think this is an extremely important element.
I trusted the breadth of Jillian’s neuro-scientific knowledge. Her openness, kindness, humor and calm confidence in the medicine and the process of integration was very reassuring to me. I felt very clear on the range of things that could happen, but because I’d done a journey in the past, I wasn’t terribly concerned, and was prepared to embrace the experience.
Jillian was very clear about how critical the first 72 hours, the first weeks, the first month, etc. would be in nurturing these new neural connections. That information and guidance made a huge difference in how I have approached and continue to approach this time. I have been very careful about the environments I’ve been and how many people I’ve been around.
I would recommend Go Within Collective without hesitiation! In fact, I have already recommended Jillian to three friends and shared her collective with a few colleagues who have clients who are very interested in psilocybin. I will also share this with my physicians who have all supported my process and are curious about it.”
