Certified Coach
Work one-on-one with a certified coach experienced in trauma-informed care, relationship dynamics, substance use assessment, and personal transformation.
Who we are
A grove is cultivated, not left wild.
The name draws on a simple idea found across cultures. A grove of trees, deliberately cultivated rather than left wild, has long served as a gathering place for reflection, ritual, and community. That same spirit shapes our approach, bringing structure and personalized coaching around a natural experience in a way that feels grounded and approachable for participants and families alike.
We work with clients in a few ways, each led by our Coach, who has a background in Marriage and Family Therapy clinical work. Some clients want a single, fully coordinated program from first call through long-term integration. Others already have their retreat arranged and want our support wrapped around it. Some want focused support specifically for preparation or integration, while others prefer the flexibility of self-paced modules they can work through on their own time. And some want ongoing coaching, independent of any retreat entirely.
The Grove works with carefully selected professionals and retreat partners who are appropriately licensed, certified, or credentialed for their roles, complemented by select practitioners whose depth of training and experience brings valuable expertise to the process.

Why work with us
Retreat-Agnostic Support
Whether your retreat is psilocybin, ayahuasca, or another legal modality, our support is tailored to your experience rather than a single modality.
Personalized Care
Every plan is individualized. We don't follow a one-size-fits-all curriculum; your intentions, history, challenges, and goals shape every session.
Support at Every Stage
A fully coordinated journey, support around a retreat you've arranged, focused help with preparation or integration, self-paced modules, or ongoing coaching. We meet you where you are.
