Tomma von Haeften

Tomma was born in 1960 and grew up in Germany, but has been living in the US since 1989, in NYC, the Hudson Valley and now the Berkshires. Her adult life began as a painter with studies at various art academies in Hamburg and New York. After her two daughters were born in the early 90s her focus and interest turned toward healing. Since then she has trained in, experienced and practiced many different modalities to facilitate healing trauma, by gaining greater freedom, wholeness and sovereignty.

Stefanie Cohen

Stefanie Cohen is a former Wall Street Journal Journalist who left New York City for the mountains ten years ago in order to heal from years of depression, only made worse by a revolving door of antidepressants. She attended an ayahuasca ceremony in 2015 and found what she was looking for -- if not inner peace than the hope that it might be possible. She spent the next five years working with various psychedelic medicines including Ibogaine, Ayahusca, MDMA, psilocybin, ketamine and cannabis and found what she was looking for - relief from depression and anxiety and also a deeper connection to herself and others, the natural world, and a force greater than herself. She holds a Level 3 Training in Internal Family Systems, completed the year long training for Psychedelic Practitioners from the Synthesis Institute, and is a student in the Aletheia Advanced Coaching training as well as Daniel Shankin’s Psychedelic Integration and Spiritual Coaching. She now works as a Spiritual Life Coach specializing in IFS and as a Psychedelic Preparation and Integration Coach in Berkshire County, where she lives on the side of a mountain, happily ever after.
