I run a psychedelic breath work group called BioMythic.com and we've worked with YC founders and teams and other Unicorn's like Bombas.

Happy to offer a free virtual session for founders if there is interest here, as our work is always gifted.

I may be misreading, but it sounds like you’re offering this to people that work together? I have trouble seeing how someone, particularly a vulnerable individual, can freely consent given the combination of group dynamics and their livelihood being involved.

I find it concerning you list experience providing psychotherapy in clinical practice on your CV. These terms are strongly associated with someone who has specific training, a license, and is answerable to an ethics board. It may give a mistaken impression to someone who is considering working with you.

1. BioMythic Breathwork is traditionally done in a group setting. We have done it both with teams as well as individual people. Some people don’t feel comfortable in a group setting, which is also fine — no pressure from us to participate.

2. I can understand that re confusing terms and will have my team update that - this is a newer CV that was compiled for a talk I’m giving with Paul Stamets and Rick Doblin and am happy for the feedback. I ran an underground clinic specifically because you couldn’t be licensed at that time.

I don’t say or intend to imply I’m licensed by anyone.

In fact, my personal healing came from well outside the mainstream which I found to be counter productive to the growth I was looking for.

I regularly consult and work with licensed folks, MDs, etc. either advising or who would refer people to me to support outside of what they could provide.

I no longer run the clinic and now advise, coach or help folks integrate experiences.

Also note to mods, this feels like a valid question — I wish people would question practitioners and approaches more in any healing field.

I recall reading every primary research paper I could find over a period of 90 days and then questioning my psychiatrist on their approaches and sort of getting no real answers.
