Dr Micheál de Barra

Psychedelic Integration & Life Coaching

Within this lifetime, we have an opportunity - a gift - to do anything we want...

But we can’t do everything – there is neither the time nor the energy.

So I ask you what does your heart really want?

I am here to serve, to hold a deeply present coaching space to allow you to work on whatever needs to be worked on in the moment:

discovering what can really nourish you in your life
finding your way to flow
deepening your sense of connection with the world
deepening your sense of community with others
putting the creative power of the human mind to work for you instead of against you
working with you to understand and integrate insights gained in psychedelic and sacred plant ceremony
facilitating a deeper understanding of your own mind using my knowledge of medicine and Buddhist psychology

My Approach & Methodology

"...each of us is naturally creative, resourceful and whole - we have our own inner healing intelligence..."

My first principal flows from a conviction that each of us is naturally creative, resourceful and whole – that we have our own inner healing intelligence which can point us towards self-actualisation if we give it space & time to reveal itself.

From this perspective my role as a coach is to provide a process that helps you access this inner healing intelligence. To this end I use a skilful balance of:

Presence – dancing in this moment
Active Listening & Curiosity
Summarisation
Intuition
Unconditional Positive Regard
Empathy
Congruence

…in order to evoke insights & transformation using the power of the coaching relationship.

I use traditional coaching techniques such as setting clear goals, focusing on future outcomes, accountability and follow up to help you grow into your new reality.

The use of psychedelics doesn’t change this approach, but it does accelerate it, and most importantly you need to feel that your coach can fully relate to the material you bring to the session – for this reason it is critical that your coach has a deep personal experience with non-ordinary states of consciousness.

Psychedelic & sacred PLANT INTEGRATION COACHING

Taking the medicine is only the first step. You now have to integrate the new beliefs and behaviours into your life, in order to:

Embody your highest self as you understand the lessons learned in ceremony, helping you to integrate them into your daily life
Live the life you want to lead as you change old habit patterns and create the new ones you want to embody
Feel love and loved as you develop a better relationship with your significant other, family and friends
Create a future with community, with connection to the Earth, surrounded by beauty, filled creativity

Spiritual & LIFE Coaching

What does your heart really want from this magical opportunity of human life right here & right now?

What would self-actualisation look like for you?

Once you are clear on the goal, we work together to take steps to help you grow into that evolving vision, in order to:

Feel like you are living a life that resonates with you
Feel like your thoughts, actions and behaviours are aligned with your higher self
Feel more at peace – with less tension, anxiety and depression

Group Coaching & Sacred Circles

Finding and creating community is critical for us as human beings. When it comes to integration of psychedelic experiences, the group deepens the learnings and you can experience:

Meeting your kind of people
Sharing your experiences with authentic and safe vulnerability
Learning through hearing other’s experiences
Benefit from the power and wisdom of the group

SUCCESS STORIES
FROM my Incredible CLIENTS

"Micheál was my first coach. When we connected, I was just beginning my own journey as a coach. I was quite confused, I had my personal things to work through before I could begin stepping into my own power as a coach.

I have never experienced love and presence as unconditional as his. Feeling safe allowed me to surrender into complete trust, explore and examine my deepest depths, shadows, thoughts and beliefs. He had skilfully manoeuvred our conversations in a way that would always produce different ways of seeing and therefore being in life. Micheál had seen and recognised who I truly was, beyond my mind's facade, and always empowered my highest self-expression.

The way Micheál approached our sessions felt very sacred, intentional and committed. The space he creates is one of pure love, safety and service. I have grown and evolved immensely, not only from coaching, but also by being in the presence of an embodied and committed leader that he is.

Micheál is a rare and extraordinary human being and I feel privileged to have had this journey with him."

"When I started working with Micheál I was lost in myself... In my own mind.

I've read a lot of books, done lots of self work, drank ayahuasca many times but I had reached a threshold.

Micheál helped me see deeper into myself and get clarity of my being. He helped me untie knots and made me see myself, my behavior, and my life in a new perspective.

After working together for a few months, I can really see how my life starts to flow differently, I make different decisions, and have a new outlook on myself and my actions.

Thank you for your help Micheál, you've truly helped speed up my development in both spiritual and my professional/entrepreneurial life. I can highly recommend working with you!"

"Before my coaching experience, I felt a general lethargy and listlessness, without really being able to determine what this was due to.

Micheál gave me the space and time to find out what areas in my life were not going as I wanted and what I needed to do to feel motivation, self-acceptance and joy.

After working with Micheál, I have the tools to go through my life more consciously, to make more active decisions, to assess the impact of my actions on myself and others.

I am grateful for this opportunity and can only encourage you to work with Micheál if you want to bring out the best possible potential in yourself."

"I want to say that you are a very skilled coach. You made sure you understood exactly what each person was saying and repeated it back.

You also had an air of compassion and sometimes humour. You are obviously very skilled and talented and I am so glad you are putting your gifts to use and sharing with humanity.

I very much enjoyed the session, I felt heard and valued. Thank you so much for the opportunity."

"Before the group coaching session with Micheál I felt unconnected to myself and God/Universe. Out of hope. Sceptical to everything.

During the circle it was a big relief for me to share and get response. I got a very warm feeling.

Now I feel very motivated compared to before the circle.

I would say that integration is almost as important as the ceremony itself. Micheál is very professional."

Before the group coaching session with Micheál I felt drained.

During the circle I felt happy cause I was with my kind of people 🙂

Now I am more joyful and have a practice that I'll start from tomorrow.

If I was going to recommend the circle to a friend I would say: “Wanna see crazy people like us talking the same language and sharing perspective? They're great!”
