Iโ€™m a London-based, award-winning nutritionist and mindset coach with over a decade of clinical experience, following a previous career in addiction counselling. My journey into nutrition began with personal struggles, including skin concerns and a long history of weight challenges dating back to childhood. With over a decade of experience, Iโ€™ve learnt that true health extends beyond what we eatโ€”i

tโ€™s about how we nurture every part of ourselves. I support people through a joined-up approach that brings together nutrition, mindset, and healing.

My ways of knowing health have changed over the years. Not just through training and knowledge, but through lived experience, vulnerability, and being forced to look at what was happening beneath the surface.

This was taken shortly after a plant medicine ceremony, when I began working with the medicines a few years ago. โ™ฅ๏ธ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™

Shall I just risk it and just give you me without all the masks and performance? The other option is burnout ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

โ€˜s livestream brought a lot more attention to Bufo, so I wanted to share what my own experience felt like.

Bufo usually refers to 5-MeO-DMT from the secretion of the Sonoran Desert toad, although 5-MeO-DMT also exists in synthetic form. It is known for being brief, intense, and an experience thatโ€™s difficult to put into language.

The closest metaphor I have is a slingshot ride for consciousness. It felt like my awareness had been fired out of ordinary reality, and within seconds the part of me that thinks, narrates, and tries to stay in control was gone.

What surprised me most was not just the intensity, but what was underneath it, a sense of love so overwhelming that it seemed to dissolve the barriers I had built around myself.

For a short time, it felt as though everything fell away except awareness, wonder, and something deeply healing.

This was one of my first Bufo experiences, shared as personal experience only, and done in a safe and legal environment.

One thing that is rarely discussed about plant medicine is that they can shift perspective in ways that feel confronting. Sometimes you see your own patterns more clearly, or even the other side of a story you felt wounded by. Insight can be powerful, but without preparation it can also turn into harsh self-criticism rather than growth.

You also could argue the ego knows what may happen and will do itโ€™s best to avoid the experience- ๐ŸŽค ๐Ÿซณ๐Ÿป - maybe another reel on that.
