I’m Aphyna.

I’m a licensed psilocybin facilitator, sound healer, performing artist, astrologer, and ceremonial guide called to support those on the precipice of change. I’m based in Oregon, where I live with my beautiful daughter and hold motherhood at the heart of my life.

My journey has taken me around the world in search of answers, from serving as a Peace Corps volunteer in Jordan, where my entire identity was shattered, to a profound spiritual awakening in India that ignited my passion for creating a more beautiful and healed world. Through years of travel, self-exploration, and soul searching, I’ve come to realize that the deepest truths I was always seeking lived within me all along—that my purpose is not a grand destination or an external marker of achievement, but is found in how I show up in each and every moment. It is to be present with each person I cross paths with, and to put my gifts in humble service of healing.

My deepest intention for my life’s work is to participate in re-enchanting the world by reminding people of their innate beauty, radiance, and inner power. As a psychedelic guide and sound healer, I am here to facilitate safe and supported heart-opening experiences so you can reconnect with the song of your heart.

Psilocybin Therapy

Assisted psilocybin therapy involves the intentional and supported use of psilocybin—a natural psychedelic compound found in certain “magic” mushrooms. It is a deeply transformative process that allows you to explore the emotional, psychological, and spiritual layers of your being in a safe and supportive environment. This work may support people navigating depression, anxiety, grief, major life transitions, and a longing for deeper meaning or connection.

Sound Healing

As a sound healer, I use the power of sound to help my clients release stress, anxiety, and pain through bringing them into a state of peace and deep relaxation. Sound can help us access deeper states of consciousness, quiet the mind, and connect with the body’s natural ability to heal. It creates a space for reflection and release, unlocking pathways for personal growth and healing.

My Story

My path into this transformative work began in the depths of my own struggles.

I want to share the story of how psilocybin changed my life and how it may change yours too.

For as long as I can remember, I had struggled with depression. It would creep back in anytime I slowed down enough to listen. When COVID arrived and everything stopped, a deeper layer set in. Simple tasks became mountains. I was late to everything. My harp sat collecting dust. I felt disorganized, unmotivated, lethargic and deeply unlike myself. Then grief from a tragic suicide in my family took me even deeper.

When a friend invited me to a guided psilocybin circle for women something in me said go. I was scared. My mental health felt fragile, and I feared I might have a bad trip. But somewhere deep in my being, I knew I had to do it.

That day changed everything.

I was afraid but my intention was pure. I was ready to let go of my depression. I was ready to surrender. I was ready to remember who I truly am.

And I did.

During that journey, it felt as if years of sadness, stress, and self-doubt were lifted right out of my body. I experienced a rebirth. I remembered the innocence of being held in my mother’s arms, not a worry in the world. I remembered what it felt like to be in her womb, life force flowing through me. I released the guilt I had carried for what my daughter may have felt in my womb during one of the most difficult and tumultuous times in my life. I felt the love of something greater than myself holding me, soothing me, and helping me come back to life.

Since that day, everything has changed. I sing all the time, even though I never used to. Joy and gratitude live in me now in a way they never did before. And while I still have sad days or hard days, my baseline is higher, brighter, and stronger. I always come back to that place of clarity and connection and have never once found myself in the state of heaviness that felt so familiar before.

Because of my own breakthrough I felt deeply called to become legally licensed in the state of Oregon to help others access their own healing with psilocybin. I’ve been deeply moved by the healing I’ve witnessed—stories of profound breakthroughs, softening of grief, and the release of lifelong patterns of depression and anxiety. One woman releasing years of repressed anger only to rediscover a childlike joy that allowed her to take up space and express herself fully. An artist, creatively blocked for over a decade, now creates prolifically again. Stories of women reconnecting with their bodies after years of living solely in their heads. Each journey is a reminder that healing is possible and it begins within.

Working with psilocybin has completely changed my life in ways that are difficult to describe because words cannot do it justice. This beautiful medicine helped me heal my depression, become a more present and patient mother, improve my relationships, discover new gifts and tap into a wellspring of creativity. It brought beauty and healing to my grief and helped me rediscover laughter and joy.

Having faced the weight of depression, grief, self-doubt, and tumultuous relationships, I know the overwhelming nature of these challenges. Yet, through my experiences, I’ve come to see them as powerful catalysts and teachers for growth and transformation.

Guided by insights from my own psilocybin journeys, I approach each session with deep reverence and respect. Through a non-directive approach, I honor your unique journey and the wisdom that arises within you. I create a safe, sacred space where you can explore your inner landscapes, confront your shadows, and emerge transformed.
