Michelle Escalera | trauma Informed facilitator & expansion coach

Michelle is a weaver of worlds, a guide of deep inner landscapes, and a steward of sacred transformation. With over six years in the psychedelic healing space, Michelle has walked through the fires of her own becoming — and now walks beside others as they do the same.

Her journey has taken her from the underground to the frontlines of research and reform, working alongside MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies) to advocate for safe, legal, and trauma-informed plant medicine practices — especially for veterans healing from PTSD. She’s collaborated with clinicians, researchers, and Indigenous wisdom keepers, bridging ancient practices with modern science.

Her reach has spanned continents, building connections with universities and communities in the UK, London, Egypt, the U.S., and Mexico. No matter where she goes, Michelle leads with heart, humility, and a fierce devotion to the medicine.

She’s impacted thousands through 1:1 work, community healing retreats, and sacred ceremonies — all anchored in one non-negotiable: safety. Because deep healing requires deep trust. Her containers are soft and strong, reverent and real, held with deep respect for the body, the nervous system, and the unseen.

But Michelle’s work doesn’t end with healing.
She’s here for your expansion.
For your bigness. Your truth. Your wildest embodiment.

testimonials

  • Bridgette F.

    As someone who had explored plant medicine before, I thought I knew what to expect… but I was completely humbled by this experience. Michelle held space in a way I didn’t even know I needed. I felt safe, seen, and supported from beginning to end. She helped me stay grounded and trust the process, and what unfolded was truly once in a lifetime. A true medicine woman!

  • Eric P.

    My wife went to one of Michelle’s ceremonies and came back different. She encouraged me to go, and honestly, I didn’t know what I was walking into. But I’m so glad I did. Michelle created a space where I could actually let my guard down. I felt safe the whole time. The experience helped me process things I didn’t even realize I was carrying. It was healing without being heavy. Just real, powerful, and needed. Grateful I crossed paths with her.

  • Susan B.

    Her support through my ceremony and integration helped me move through things I’ve carried for decades. I’ve done other healing work before, but nothing felt quite like this. thank you for helping get my life back.

  • Annette K.

    I came in desperate for healing. As a veteran, I was carrying a lot and I didn’t trust easily. But my cousin introduced me to Michelle, and after just one call I knew she could hold me safely. I was high risk and I knew it. The ceremony was not easy. I felt anger come up, and even had a moment where things got intense. But Michelle stayed grounded the whole time. She met me with calm, with strength, and had this gentle way of reminding me I was safe. That I could release this pain in a different way. That moment changed everything. Thank you, Michelle, for seeing me when I couldn’t see myself

FAQ: What’s actually holding you back?

☥

  • ☥ I feel the pull... but I’m scared.

    Of course you are. Transformation can feel terrifying. But fear doesn't mean stop. It means you're standing at the edge of something powerful. You don't have to leap alone — I'm walking beside you.

  • ☥ What if I come alone?

    You won’t be alone for long. This is a heart-led community. A circle of women walking through the fire with you. You’ll be welcomed just as you are — no masks, no performance, just truth and connection.

  • ☥ What is Acacia?

    Acacia is an ancient plant medicine — often called the Egyptian Tree of Life. It's known as a form of Egyptian Ayahuasca, and has been used in ceremonial healing across North Africa and the Middle East for generations.

    This medicine works from the root — physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It helps clear stuck energy, open the heart, and reconnect back to who you are.

  • ☥ What if nothing happens for me?

    Totally valid question — and one I hear a lot.
    Plant medicine isn’t about fireworks. It’s not always loud or dramatic. Sometimes the biggest healing comes in silence, stillness, or a subtle shift that ripples for months.

    Your journey will be your journey. No comparison. No pressure.

    You’ll be supported every step — with prep, ceremony, integration, and real community.
