I just recently completed my first journey with Liz and found it to be one of the most powerful and insightful experiences of my life. I have spent 30 years working clinically in healthcare, so I am greatly familiar with what it takes to create a positive healing environment for those in need of help. At this Liz is a true professional. She is an experienced expert in her modalities, bur perhaps more importantly, transmits her enthusiasm for helping people make the breakthroughs they need to become better versions of themselves.
I felt as though I was in good hands right off the bat. Trust is extremely important with this form of therapy, as any level of fear or mistrust can become magnified quickly. I felt completely safe, comfortable and expertly guided through an experience that rapidly uncovered undiscovered inner landscapes. Quite literally states of awareness I've never experienced before, it was absolutely exhilarating and profoundly healing. Liz becomes a trusted guide to these strange new worlds within. I’ve recommended Liz to several of my patients who I felt could benefit, as well as my adult son. In short, I trust her implicitly. I am grateful to Liz for her creation of such a beautiful space in which to heal and grateful to myself for having the insight to realize the value of inner exploration.

One of the most impactful and important things I have done for myself in a very very long time. From start to finish, my experience could be summed up as an all encompassing, course correcting, gratitude engulfed, mental reset and deep breath all at the same time. It was like shining a flashlight on valuable parts of myself I never knew existed and a thoughtful reintroduction of parts I thought had a handle on. During weekly sessions Liz and I dissected a number of obstacles I was hoping to overcome - and uncovered others I didn’t know were in my way. Liz was an amazing guide on all levels - understanding, kind, and always helping look at parts of myself from a slightly different perspective. The experience overall was much more influential and valuable than I ever could have expected. <3

Liz walked me Home.
I arrived to our first preparatory session holding some intentions, hopes, and desires, but they were veiled by desperation. I was deeply depressed, lost inside of my experience. I had tried many modes of therapy and learned many frameworks that, while beautifully expressed, never seemed to land in my lived-experience. I felt small, consumed by my own thoughts, fully covered over.
In the space Liz held for me, all of my intentions, even those that were partially formed, found themselves unfolding in a landscape of recognition. Liz helped me clarify my aims in our lead-up sessions and during the medicinal experience insight after insight uncovered how well prepared the ground was.
Suddenly, my one-dimensional experience expanded from within. It wasn’t abstract. My first-person existence unfolded into full form. I had a shape and the space around my sense-of-self showed its vastness. Liz prompted me to explore the territory, to walk its contours and touch its edges. This place was open to the fullness of experience and when I gestured simply I became enmeshed with it. It poured its contents into me and love, compassion, regret, joy, sorrow, bliss, and devotion expressed themselves within my felt-sense again. I could hold it all. I had returned to an ancient space inside of myself, receptive to all of experience. I had forgotten it as the place from which I came. It was there waiting and Liz opened the door as I walked back into my original Home.

My experience of working with Liz, aside from giving birth to my children, was the most profound and beautiful experience of my life. My intention in working with her was to get off of my SSRI's and ADHD medication after many, many years because of the side effects, and to explore life without them. Aside from one other psychedelic experience, I had no experience with working with psychedelics. Under Liz's loving guidance, along with my psychiatrist, I was able to slowly wean off my meds successfully for the first time in over 20 years.
On the day of my journey I felt completely safe and held by her every minute. She was like a psychic doula! I gave birth to a new understanding of myself and the universe around me. I became less reactive with my children, happier in my marriage and in my work, and opened up to a new world of plant medicine and ritual.
Liz's method is so comprehensive and impactful. We began with virtual sessions where I was introduced to a form of therapeutic parts work which were later integrated into the session. I was able to tap into different parts of myself which were keeping me feeling stuck. The experience itself left me cracked wide open to a new world where I felt so deeply connected to my true self as well as to those around me. Liz's method of integration after the journey also helped me immensely to assimilate all that I had learned. I was blown away by her support and how available she was to me in the days after.
Even now, months after that experience, we continue to work together so that I can continue to learn from her vast knowledge. I feel so incredibly grateful to have been guided to Liz and to have the privilege of working with her.

My second psychedelic journey with Liz was very different from my first. It brought up childhood memories I hadn’t thought about in years, some I’d completely forgotten. Once the darkness and insecurity of these memories subsided, I came to a powerful realization: it’s never really anyone’s fault - not mine, not anyone else’s. We’re all shaped by the way we were raised and the environments we’ve spent time in. That perspective allowed me to release a lot of blame on others, forgive, and apologize to them for not fully considering their traumas being the reason.
The most profound part of the experience was feeling the presence of something I can only describe as the divine. It wasn’t tied to religion - if anything, I thought of religion as a human construct that doesn’t begin to capture what I experienced. But there was a spirit, a presence, like a non-religious God. It was the most spiritual moment of my life. In that space, everything made sense - the universe, and whatever is even bigger than that. Even though this moment was brief, it left a feeling that everything is and will always be OK.
Liz was incredible throughout - her intuition guided me to these insights in a way I could have never found on my own. She is truly remarkable and was undoubtedly meant to pursue this life-changing work. I feel a profound spiritual connection with her and an enduring, gratitude for her presence in my life.

You know when you go on a transformational multi-week vacation and you return home with a new outlook on your life, your family and friends, and society as a whole? Imagine if you could shrink that experience down to one day while still getting all of that amazing output... that's a full-day session with Liz. Liz is one of my favorite people in the world and she's opened up new doors in my brain that I didn't know existed. I couldn't recommend her more. Take the plunge, you won't regret it!
— Matt E,, COO, New Jersey
Working with Liz has been a profoundly transformative journey for me. After navigating a traumatic relationship and the major life changes that followed, Liz’s intuitive insight and genuine empathy created a space where I could deeply explore and understand myself. This led to a significantly positive shift in my perspective.
The combination of the journey with the pre- and post-session integrations were invaluable, and even three months later, I continue to grow from the experience. While the process was challenging, Liz’s support and guidance have helped me discover my authentic self with a newfound clarity. For the first time in my life, I feel truly whole and know that I am enough. I am so grateful to have been introduced to her and would not be where I am today without her.

Working with Liz was divinely timed—transformative beyond much of the deep inner work I’d already been doing much of my life. The medicine deeply supported my ongoing talk therapy and healing sessions with other practitioners. So much unlocked for me with the Jaguar. I met my deepest fears in our first journey and was able to finally allow them to just be. The agency and autonomy that sprung forth from that integration has been one of the most significant experiences of my life. Our following journeys were lighter and lighter each time. I found a genuine sense of bliss and ease that has remained steadfast. With my doctor’s guidance, I was able to use the medicine to support tapering off of benzodiazepines that had been doing a great job of masking my anxiety—Jaguar alleviated it.
Liz is a very skilled practitioner. Her natural insight and empathy make the container feel supportive, easy, and safe. Her innate intelligence and non judgmental curiosity support deeper discovery of one’s own self. Her discipline and dedication to the modalities is palpable the whole way through, and that expertise adds another crucial layer of feeling safe and well guided. In other words, I knew I was in the best hands so I could truly relax and release and experience everything the medicine came to share with me.
Life’s doors feel refreshingly open, long held limiting beliefs and weighty energetic burdens have softened, lessened, abated. As a single mom I appreciated how brief—yet profound—the experience could be, because I’m not able to “clock out” for a whole day journey or a whole weekend. I find I’m gentler, stronger, and more in love with life. If you’re even considering this—the medicine is calling you. 10/10. Also, the continued support of microdosing has added an element of dedication, presence, and ongoing lightness to my everyday living. Liz helped me feel really clear and supported getting to know how microdosing works for me.
Life changing. Life affirming. One of the best gifts I’ve ever given myself. She’s the best!
— Lily K., Entrepreneur & Storyteller, Philadelphia
I have had the great pleasure of knowing Liz in a few different settings. Liz has artfully facilitated two journeys for me as a psychedelic guide on the heels of being in a year long training program together. What is great about Liz…is she is Liz…in all different settings, contexts and situations. I have seen her be vulnerable in trainings (yes, she is doing her own work!) as well as being open, supportive, intuitive and wise as a guide. What is clear to me is that Liz is gifted. Gifted in the way she hears, the way she sees possibilities and how she was/is able to see me. She has been able to see all the colors of who I am to help me see the best in me. She understands that the challenges in life lead to the possibilities for the future. She has a unique ability to be there in the right way at the right moment to help me be in the right place at the right moment. The two Jaguar journeys with her expert prep and integration have opened portals to my life that feel transformative. I’m in deep appreciation of Liz’s talents and gifts.

My experience working with LIz has been nothing short of transformational. She has a deep intuitive sense combined with a sincere level of empathy that set the stage for me to unlock and see myself and this life I live from a new perspective. A more open and spacious perspective. Not different, not better, just more me. Her approach felt so specific to my needs. It was truly a collaborative project. After experiencing multiple life shifts in the course of one year, I found myself stuck, shattered, and closed off. I knew I needed to delve deep within me to untangle some truth and release some heavy burdens.
I've felt safe and at ease with Liz every step of the way, which is so important in a context where being open and honest is imperative to gaining insight. With her help, guidance, and ability to selflessly hold me on this journey, I was able to plug back in, feel my heart, and regain a sense of belonging. I still don't know what's written for the rest of my story, but after working with Liz, I do know that I have what I need within me to find my way. One moment at a time, with a renewed and bigger heart to lead me.

Working with Liz has been life changing! I wasn't sure what I really needed from a possible journey, but knew I'd been through losses, transitions, and cumulative stressors over the last few years that left me empty and sad. From our first conversation, I could tell Liz was an expert in her field. She knew the science and pharmacology of her plants at a deep and detailed level. Her empathic listening skills helped us efficiently pare down the excess noise of the stress to develop a path toward wellness. I felt supported, heard, and cared for every step of the way.
Words don't do justice to the experience of the journey itself. The release that occurred in conjunction with an unexpected and very welcome re-entry of joy went beyond anything I could have hoped to encounter, and something that years of therapy had not fully helped me find. While the after-glow has worn off, the neuroplasticity that it created continues to help me move more comfortably through life's inevitable difficult moments. I am grateful beyond measure for Liz and her powerful work!
— Kate., Medical Doctor, Boston
Liz is beyond gifted in the realm of psychedelic healing and compassion for the human experience. She brings warmth, expertise, and kindness to every interaction. As a complete novice to psychedelic use and exploration, I was full of questions and even fear. Liz immediately made me feel at ease with her deep understanding of psychedelics and their therapeutic potential. She embodies a genuine respect and reverence for the sacred nature of these substances and experiences.
Under Liz's guidance, I have embarked on a journey that continues to transcend my expectations. I have been met with a compassionate approach and unwavering support that has created a safe container for exploration and expansion. With Liz's support, I continue to navigate the depths of my consciousness, confronting and integrating parts of myself that have long been neglected.
I am forever grateful for Liz, her knowledge, compassion, guidance, and support on this journey of healing and self-discovery.

Liz Chernett changed my life. She is an extraordinary therapist and psychedelic guide,
and an insightful, wise, loving and divine human being. My plant medicine journey with Liz was incredible: 5 hours of oneness during which I surrendered and stepped into my power. But it was the work Liz and I did beforehand to set my intentions and gain clarity around what I wanted out of the trip, and our sessions to integrate the trip afterwards, that brought about my deep self-understanding and lasting transformation.
I was called to take a plant medicine trip because I was feeling stuck. When the world and my work shut down with Covid in 2020, I shut down too. And while I had been thawing out three years later, I was still full of self-doubt, negative chatter in my head and inability to break free of patterns that were holding me back. I tried talk therapy, but that wasn’t helpful. It was more of the same: churning in my head. I wanted to get into my body, and also within layers of my consciousness. But as called as I felt, I was also nervous and a bit fearful about going on a psychedelic trip. I felt immediately comfortable with Liz when we met on zoom for our discovery call. What followed—the materials she sent me, our discussions and the prompts she gave me to reflect and journal about—put me completely at ease. She held my hand, and held my heart, in a way that turned any fears I had into excitement, engagement and wonder, including during the trip itself. What a profound mystical experience that was, thanks largely to Liz and the spirituality, joy and loving safety she provided. I now feel limitless possibility, deep love, giddy joy, awe and a fearlessness to embrace the fullness of life again.
In my work and my personal relationships, I find it easier to nurture others than to allow myself to be nurtured. I am usually the one who listens, asks questions, enables others to share vulnerably and reflects an empowering light on them. Liz played that role with me in a way that no one else in my life ever has other than my very closest friends. And I loved giving over to her in a way I usually don’t. That’s her magic, or one part of a vast array of her magic. I felt so fully seen, understood and held by Liz. She is in it with you and there for you, with deep care, compassion and loving attention every step of the way.
Liz also challenged me in ways that few people ever have, with brilliant questions and insights during and in follow up to our pre and post-trip sessions together. And also inspired me by sharing some of her favorite poems, music, books and new ways of looking at myself and the wider world. Her view of the wider world is divinely expansive, enabling me to see and feel my inter-connectedness with all: the spirit world, elements of nature, all of nature and so much more.
I can’t wait to go on another plant medicine trip with Liz!! I am forever grateful to her and forever grateful to know her.
— Cheryl H., Documentary Filmmaker, NYC
Liz’s unique approach to coaching and mentoring is nothing short of revolutionary. She is extraordinarily knowledgeable, compassionate and caring. Once I met her, she immediately felt like an old friend. The personalized support and guidance she provided before, during and after my journey were second to none. On the day of my journey, Liz did an astounding job creating a safe, welcoming environment, which enabled me to fully surrender to the experience. The set, setting, and soundtrack she curated were simply sublime. Whatever skepticism or doubts I may have had going in quickly dissipated and my experience was joyful, mystical, and deeply profound. I’ve described it to friends and family as “pure magic.” That’s not hyperbole. What’s more, the conversations we had and Liz’s insightful reflections, which she dutifully captured and sent me as “Session Notes” afterward, were the perfect complement to a transcendent experience. I’m so grateful to have met Liz because the time we’ve spent together will most certainly help me create meaningful and lasting positive change in my life.
— Adam G., Communications Executive, New Jersey
"As a person who always felt terrified of psychedelic experiences, Liz was the perfect safe presence to guide me into this realm. I knew from the jump she was expertly informed in both the science and the spirit of the work. Her process was impeccable: breathwork and supplements to prep, and distilled summaries from our coaching sessions that showed she was really listening. She offered me ideas that expanded my perspective, information that helped me work with the energy before and after, and logistical initiative that kept me moving when my resistance kicked in. Going into the ceremony, I knew she would hold the ground while I took the leap. When I did leap, I was surprised and grateful to discover not just a guardian at the gate, but a companion on the journey. Her heartfelt presence and personal engagement in my process shifted the work to another level. Spirit medicine is my daily life, but this moment has emerged as one of the top three groundshifting awakenings of my earthtime yet. Unlike the other moments, when transformation found me (or was necessary for my spiritual survival), this was a moment when I initiated the transformation. I found the door, Liz gave me the key, and together we walked into a new reality."
— Saga, Writer, Coach & Entrepreneur, New York
“I am a 74 year old woman who recently embarked on a beautiful, revealing, loving psychedelic journey guided by Liz Chernett. It surpassed my expectation, which was to confront a “dark spot” or depression that has troubled me most of my adult life no matter how much talk therapy I turned to.
Liz is kind, supportive, and intuitively uncovered a lot of my fears and hopes, and helped me determine what I hoped to achieve during my journey. After 4 pre-journey sessions I felt fully prepared and hopeful about what the experience could bring.
My journey was very enlightening. What made it different from talk-therapy was that I used my whole body during it. I felt, not only thought, the effects of the medicine and the teachings. I felt, for the first time in a long time, the joy of being uninhibited in my movements, my thoughts, and my speech. I proceeded to encounter each of the subjects I had discussed with Liz and listened for the medicine’s answer. At one point Liz’s face revealed an ancient medicine mask and I took this to be her “wisdom face”. At that point, I think I understood that I was in the presence of the medicine speaking truth. It was profound work.
It has been almost 2 months since my journey and although the experience has softened, I am still so affected by the benefits of my experience. The most pronounced effect is that I have reacquainted myself with myself and the strengths I had forgotten. I have more trust in my decisions, and when I confront things that bother me, I seem to have many more options with how to deal with them besides anger, depression, or hiding. I am more fully in the moment, less frustrated by time and all the trappings of the material world. I am hoping that the experience will elevate my creative self and help me to complete a project dear to my heart.
I am so happy to have been on this journey with Liz’s guidance. I don’t think it would have felt quite as complete or wonderful without her.
— Alene D., Artist, New York City
I found a new dear friend in Liz. She has wisdom beyond her years. I was at once enjoying my experience and witnessing a master and a sage, disguised as a hipster. What a combination! I found a new friend and confidante in Liz. A remarkable woman. I applaud her unmatched listening skills that deepened and expanded the whole experience for me.
In 40 years of personal growth courses I have never been more coaxed for clarity as to what I wanted from my experience. Receiving a written summary of each of our preliminary and post event sessions was incredible. Having my sentiments captured for my reflection is like a course unto itself! I am honored to have witnessed this master at work.
— Noreen S., Nurse, New York
From the moment I spoke to Liz about my reasons, worries and thoughts about the journey I wanted to start, I felt heard and welcomed. After many years of self doubt, blame and self "trash talk,” I was encouraged (but never pushed) to try and stop an old cycle, with warmth and understanding. Every effort was made to make me feel comfortable and safe.
So many gentle suggestions, tips and loving encouragement throughout the meetings, preparations and the day eased my fear and enveloped me in a warm hug that resonates with me today. I hope to continue my growth and understanding as a person who appreciates and loves myself and shares that part of me at home, work and in my little part of the world.
So many thanks, Liz.
— Pat B., Activist, Philadelphia
I embarked on a personal development journey over two years ago, making significant progress until I reached a point of stagnation. A close friend shared his transformative experience with Liz, sparking my excitement about the possibility of a similar impact. My time with Liz was genuinely remarkable, akin to a condensed fusion of years of therapy and life coaching, all in a single day. The post-journey version of myself now wakes up each day with a sense of optimism, gratitude, and love for my family and myself. The burden of an endless to-do list has lifted, deepening my connections with others, and allowing me to authentically be myself. Liz served as the ideal guide for delving into my past, confronting it, and unveiling the infinite capabilities within myself. I wholeheartedly recommend Liz to anyone seeking meaningful change in their own lives.
— Howie S., Entrepreneur, New Jersey
“My 1:1 Psychedelic Mentorship & Transformation Coaching experience with Liz was truly that - transformational. Liz creates such a loving container from start to finish. The preparation calls were so integral to my ability to set intentions and Liz helped me delve deeper into the true intentions I wanted to reach before the ceremony. I can't emphasize the mentorship and coaching enough in this experience. I felt prepared, safe and Liz answered all of my questions while also honoring and creating space for the beauty of embracing the unknown.
Liz was beside me every step of the way on the day of the journey, I felt her calming and caring presence as she began the ceremony with a beautiful blessing and throughout the hours we spent together. She held space for all of the things that came up for me, helped me to process and guided me through. The medicine, the music and the energy allowed me to truly go inward.
Liz's support with integration following the ceremony helped me to weave this transformation into my life in a super meaningful way. If you are considering a journey, reach out to Liz. She is empathic, present and wonderful!
— Sara S., Social Worker, Sound Healer & Artist, Philadelphia
“Life changing coaching, support, guidance, understanding. Liz provides assurance for the right attitude to proceed for a meaningful journey. She instills a safe space to fully let go in order to accept and fully benefit from the journey. She is all in for you, she makes absolutely sure that everything you need is provided to you. All her support allowed for a life changing experience for me!
— Michael S., Finance Executive, Providence
“For anyone who is familiar with psychedelic work or is a novice, they know that a lot of unearthing of joyful, confusing, uncomfortable, or fearful feelings can arise. Liz is truly the perfect partner to assist with leading up to and following a journey. She’s not only extremely knowledgeable and well educated on the biological and scientific aspect of plant medicine, but also the metaphysical and emotional aspects that arise in one’s experience—making her extremely relatable and warm in her approach. Liz really prepares for each session and structures them so you get the most out of your time together. She helps you clarify and detangle your experience, and has a creative toolbox of actionable takeaways to help you progress in your individual integration process. I particularly loved the follow up emails, which nicely summarized our sessions and where I can refer back to when needed. It’s clear that Liz is very passionate about her work and her clients with mid-week check-ins to see how you’re feeling and progressing. As an experienced practitioner in plant medicine, I would likely recommend Liz to anyone interested in this work. Integration is where the real work begins and I’m honored and grateful to work with Liz in this greater journey.”
— Jordana H., Account Director & Therepist In-Training, New York City
“Thank you so much for being a guide and mirror on this journey. Truly a wonderful experience. Our sessions were always an eye opening affair, and your thoughtfulness and thoroughness was always so reassuring.”
— Elish P., Brooklyn
“Words alone cannot convey my gratitude to Liz for facilitating what has been, thus far, one of the most transformative and healing experiences of my life. Liz prepared me for my first-ever psychedelic journey with the utmost of knowledge, deep listening, and care. Through her non-judgmental and compassionate presence, from the get-go, I felt safe to open up to Liz about where I felt ashamed and stuck in my life. From this place of feeling so understood, Liz helped me to develop well thought-out intentions, and assigned me “homework” that catalyzed personal growth even before the ceremony began.
Having never taken psychedelics before, I was nervous about how to prepare and what to expect. Liz made herself available to answer all my questions, even the most minute, calming my mind, body and spirit for the journey to come. Throughout the journey, I felt Liz’s presence as an intuitive, loving, wise container, holding the space for me to go deep inside, and offering words of encouragement and guided imagery to further deepen my experience. It was clear that Liz poured her heart and soul into curating a music playlist for the journey that continues to reverberate in my cells. In the weeks following my journey, I worked with Liz to reflect on and “integrate” the teachings of the medicine and to develop realistic practices to further my growth and transformation. I cannot believe how motivated I feel to heal! In addition to being one of the kindest humans, Liz is gifted beyond words in her calling as a psychedelic mentor and transformational coach. I highly recommend Liz to anyone who is considering using psychedelics to create lasting, positive change.”
— Michelle R., Therapist, Boston
“Liz has a preternatural gift for helping people dig deep and make meaningful change in their lives. She possesses an innate curiosity and compassion that she uses to help her clients integrate psychedelic experiences. But what I so appreciate about Liz's work, is that those experiences are just the jumping off point. Throughout our sessions, her engaging questions and assignments—and incredible recap emails!—helped me come to many new perspective-shifting realizations. Simultaneously, we worked to establish grounding new routines and tools that help weave those realizations into my day-to-day life. All of this has deepened and given more meaning to the impact of my psychedelic experiences."
— Rachel G., Brand Builder, Brooklyn
“The integration coaching I received with Liz was life changing in a very positive and empowering way. Liz is a truly gifted coach who lovingly and patiently listens and assists you as you find what it is you are longing for. Liz listened very deeply in our sessions and helped me to clarify my intentions prior to each journey. After the journey, she lovingly listened to the details of my experience and guided me as I found the meaning, insights, and lessons within them. The best part of all is how she then helped me to find ways to integrate these insights and lessons into my everyday life. Journeying is a wonderful experience in and of itself—but to have someone with a calm spirit, tremendous love, and experience to help guide you, makes all the difference! I loved and looked forward to each session I had with Liz and I am so grateful to her.”
