I accompany people through moments of transition — those subtle in-between spaces where something old has fallen away and something new is beginning to emerge. These thresholds cannot be crossed through thinking alone. They ask for presence, attunement, and a way of listening that includes the body, the nervous system, and what has not yet found words.

My work lives at the intersection of scientific understanding and embodied, ancestral wisdom. I see myself as a psychedelic health advocate, with a strong focus on the mindful, ethical, and sustainable use of psychedelics — and above all, on the integration of expanded states of consciousness into everyday life. Lasting change, in my experience, does not arise from peak experiences alone, but from how deeply they are embodied in relationships, choices, leadership, and the way we inhabit ourselves.

My professional path began in communication and leadership, working with language, expression, and human interaction. Over time, my attention shifted from outer performance to the inner dialogue of the nervous system. This led me into extensive training in systemic, somatic, and trauma-informed approaches, as well as research-based and experience-led work in psychedelic studies. Today, my work integrates systemic methods, mindfulness, IFS-informed approaches, hypnosis, breathwork, and bodywork. I support people in tracing patterns and symptoms back to their origins and gently restoring balance within the body–mind-soul system.

Alongside this professional development, a spiritually rooted practice that began in my adolescence led me to train and be initiated within indigenous lineages in Africa and Latin America, including the traditional Bwiti Missoko lineage. I have learned directly from medicine men and women rooted in long-standing earth-based traditions. I hold this knowledge with deep respect and responsibility, translating it into a grounded, ethical, and contemporary context rather than reproducing it unchanged.

At the heart of my work is a somatic and preventative approach to mental well-being. I do not work to fix or diagnose, but to create the conditions in which inner wisdom can reorganize itself. Over time, I have learned that meaningful change cannot be imposed from the outside — it arises from within, when safety, clarity, and personal timing are honored.

I am currently completing my PhD in Psychedelic Studies (Ubiquity University), have completed a three-year training in Integrative Psychedelic Therapy (AWE Foundation) and I am a 5-MeO-DMT Facilitator (F.I.V.E. 5-MeO-DMT Information & Vital Training). I work as a guide and integration facilitator with retreat organizations and am co-founder of the KULA Institute, which offers professional training in psychedelic facilitation for therapists and coaches. Together with my husband, I also co-founded Our Somatic Mind — a space dedicated to somatic awareness, conscious development, and preventive resilience.

I meet people not as an authority with answers, but as a grounded companion who knows the terrain. With care, clarity, and deep respect for the complexity of human experience, I hold spaces in which meaningful and sustainable change can unfold at its own pace. Based in Germany, I work online and wherever legally possible.

I accompany people through periods of transition — moments when familiar structures no longer hold and what lies ahead is not yet clear. In such phases, what is often needed is not more answers, but presence, orientation, and a safe space to reconnect with oneself.

My work bridges over two decades of senior leadership experience in complex international organizations with somatic, systemic, and trauma-informed practice. Having led teams, transformation processes, and multi-country operations at executive level, I understand performance, pressure, and responsibility from lived experience. Alongside this professional path, a deep personal inquiry led me into extensive training in somatic work, systemic coaching, Internal Family Systems, hypnosis, Shiatsu, Reiki, and consciousness-based facilitation.

At the core of my approach is an integrated view of the human being. Body, mind, emotions, and inner parts are understood as an interconnected system. I work in a grounded, resource-oriented way, supporting nervous system regulation, embodied awareness, and sustainable change. Transformation is not forced — it unfolds when safety, clarity, and personal timing are respected.

As a coach, mentor, and psychedelic facilitator, I support preparation, facilitation, and especially the integration of non-ordinary and psychedelic experiences. Integration is where insight becomes embodied and meaningful change takes root — through reflection, somatic awareness, and practical application in everyday life. My work is supportive and strengthening in nature and does not replace medical or psychotherapeutic treatment.

Together with my wife, I co-founded Our Somatic Mind — a space dedicated to somatic awareness, conscious leadership, and preventive mental well-being. We believe sustainable growth begins where people feel safe: in their bodies, in authentic connection, and in honest self-exploration.

I meet people with clarity, respect, and heart — not as an authority, but as a grounded companion. Because every person already carries what they need for their next step; sometimes all that is required is a space held with care and presence until that step becomes visible.

Lama Elkhaldi

I see my role as a sacred space holder and intuitive guide for those wanting to engage in a conscious and intimate journey of self-inquiry and reflection as they navigate through pivotal transitions in their lives. I have learned that life’s challenges are often opportunities for us to deepen our self-inquiry and gain a deeper understanding of self, if we are able to cultivate presence to our experience, practice compassionate inquiry, authentic curiosity and honest accountability. My work with my clients is built on this premise to foster self-awareness, empower individuals to move through life’s transitions with clarity, and craft sustainable structures for growth and evolution. This work can at times include working with psychedelics.

As an integral coach and psychedelic facilitator, my work weaves together the scientific knowledge and cognitive methodologies with the more mystical and embodied ancestral wisdom. My work is trauma informed, blends my intuitive style with a systematic approach, and incorporates IFS and NARM informed approaches. My training and initiation with indigenous lineages in Africa and Latin America, allowed me to learn from long-standing earth-based traditions, and I hold this knowledge with respect and reverence and allow it to guide how I show up in my life.

My previous corporate experience in people and organization, along with my personal journey of self-inquiry with my challenge with anxiety and depression, has shown me the deeper dynamics of connection, leadership, and human adversity. I believe we can only meet our clients as deeply and we have met ourselves, and I remain committed to my personal journey to craft meaning in my life whilst surrendering and remaining open
