Psilocybin saved my life

My name is Michou Olivera. I am a 53 year old lesbian woman, and my pronouns are proudly She/Her. Using mezzo and macro doses of mushroom medicine nearly every month since 2018, my 35+ year addictions to alcohol, cannabis and nicotine were destroyed.

What was also wiped out was my debilitating CPTSD, depression, and anxiety from sexual and physical abuse, and from struggling since childhood with being born female and very masculine. Using the integrated insight from the mushrooms, I was able to truly connect to my authenticity and purpose. They also subdued my constant negative ruminating thoughts, helped me to rewire entrenched and outdated belief systems, and allowed me to deeply and sincerely embrace myself exactly as I am, a masculine woman.

In 2019 I continued working with mushrooms to help me through a life crisis, and a spiritual awakening on 4g of Golden Teachers in May of that year revealed that my purpose is not only to heal from my past, but to also help others connect to and understand mushroom medicine and the process of safely and effectively utilizing it.

Since January 2020, I have dedicated my entire life to this work. It is a sincere honor to be called to help connect people to their truth and higher consciousness though Psilocybin mushroom medicine. I have passionately embraced my path as a psychedelic guide and mentor specializing in mushroom cultivation, psychedelic spiritual awakening, mindfulness, mushroom journey guidance, integration, consciousness-expansion, and herbalism.
 
For the last five years, I have been asked to help others with overcoming adversities in their lives, rewiring negative thought patterns and belief systems, trauma healing, and learning how to navigate health/mental health and addiction challenges using mushroom medicine. I am asked to personally sit with those embarking on their first mushroom experiences, or to sit with those who seek to explore larger doses of mushrooms. Additionally, and I feel equally as important, I educate about the importance of destigmatizing psychedelic plant medicine, practicing safe, respectful and intentional consumption, and embracing the integration of what comes through. I feel it is deeply important to help people decipher and integrate what their psychedelic experiences have shown them, and I am honored to use my insight and experience into that realm.
 
Since reintroducing Psilocybin back into my life in January 2018, every single aspect of my life has been changed in ways I never could have imagined. I have met and married the love of my life and true best friend.
 
My family and I have a wonderful relationship of truth and transparency, and my work with this medicine is not only supported, but also praised, respected and encouraged. When I committed to dedicating my life to working through challenges using Psilocybin mushrooms as a tool of consciousness-expansion, I watched as my entire life became an incredible blessing. I am so very grateful to finally feel safe and at home within myself.
 
I am exceedingly grateful to have the consciousness and self awareness to simply observe that which once would’ve derailed both me and my life by reacting and taking everything on. I am grateful to mushrooms for showing me that it is not only important to love myself, but to also respect and evolve myself. I am grateful to mushrooms for bringing me home to myself, for expanding my heart and mind, and for helping me help others. I owe my life to mushrooms, and ultimately Psilocybin.
