Pritpal (she/her) is a Respiratory Therapist with 19 years’ experience working in hospitals. She has extensive practice in respiratory and cardiovascular disease, offering insight into how body systems function while in alignment and when impacted by disease. In addition to technical expertise, she brings a unique perspective to her care, incorporating the mind-body connection, trauma awareness and cultural sensitivity to help people find comfort in her presence and encourage healing. In addition to critical care work, Pritpal has worked and volunteered in sleep medicine and disaster response/third world medical care. 

Psychedelic assisted therapy is something that Pritpal has grown to have immense gratitude for as it has led her to much of her own healing. She feels it can be a powerful tool so long as it is handled with great care and respect. As someone who has spent thousands of hours at bedsides of the ill, Pritpal now feels drawn to support people doing work to understand themselves through psychedelic assisted therapy. Knowing what we do about the connection of health to stress and unhealed trauma, Pritpal feels that psychedelic assisted therapy can be instrumental in preventive health. 

Psychedelic assisted therapy has offered Pritpal the opportunity to work with different elements that have impacted her life and health. Intergenerational trauma, being a second generation immigrant and her journey with childhood illness have all been a part of her ongoing practice of self discovery that she is dedicated to. She feels that the greatest gift within our own healing practices, is the resulting increase in capacity to offer love to ourselves, to each other and the world.

Pritpal’s practice is influenced by education and guidance she has received from many teachers and institutions. In addition to her medical training and its ongoing education, she has continuously immersed herself in learning about how to connect and heal as humans. Early on, Pritpal received training to work with people on the autism spectrum. She holds certificates in Mindful Living, Race and Racism in Healthcare, Trauma Informed Practice, Biology of Loss/Impaired Attachments, The Hungry Ghost Perspective on Addiction, and Psychedelic Therapy from Phoenix Academy.
