S1 | E16 Lisa Parker - Founder, Trilome®

The irony of the fact that it took me 16 episodes to get to somebody who works with psychedelic medicines is not lost on me. Psychedelics (all of them) have been instrumental in my healing process. As somebody who hasn't had an alcoholic drink since 2001 and hadn't smoked weed since 1995, dipping my toe in the psychedelic waters was not a decision I undertook lightly. It was a short journey from the dip to the plunge, however.

I'm very grateful to Lisa for agreeing to be on the show and to share the beautiful potential these medicines have for fostering healing and connection. The fact that they are Schedule I narcotics is criminal in and of itself.

In this episode, I talk with Lisa Parker about her journey from chronic trauma and unexplained pain into becoming a practitioner of psychedelic-integrative bodywork. Lisa shares how early experiences of fear, dissociation, and bodily threat shaped her nervous system—and how modalities like Rolfing and other somatic work, especially in tandem with medicines such as Ayahuasca, Psilocybin and Kambo helped her reclaim safety in her body.

In themes that are common across most episodes, we explore how trauma lives in fascia, why chronic pain often has emotional and energetic roots, and how combining low-dose psychedelic medicine with hands-on bodywork can accelerate healing in a safe, grounded way. This conversation moves through nervous system regulation, consent, embodied boundaries, touches briefly on Human Design, and the difference between catharsis and integration.

This episode is an invitation to understand healing not as fixing what’s broken, but as remembering how the body already knows how to come home to itself.
