Jill Sitnick

Hello Friend,

I am an executive coach, educator, and advocate for psychedelic medicine to enable personal transformation. My mission is to empower high-achievers to unlock new levels of growth, resilience, and well-being, drawing on my unique blend of corporate leadership and lived experience in healing PTSD with psychedelic medicine.

A Dual Path: Corporate Leadership & Personal Transformation

For over 25 years, I built a successful career in educational technology.  After 20 years in K12, I transitioned to "big tech" and held leadership roles at Microsoft and Amazon. I specialized in professional development, team building, and driving innovation by helping educators and organizations adapt and thrive in a rapidly changing world. My work was recognized with industry awards, and I was privileged to lead national training initiatives and build robust partner programs.

Despite my professional success, I faced personal challenges rooted in childhood trauma. After the loss of my long-term partner, the trauma of my abusive childhood suddenly took over and I was diagnosed with PTSD. When the traditional therapy and medication didn't work, I found healing through MDMA-assisted psychotherapy. My journey with MDMA and psilocybin, under professional guidance, allowed me to overcome PTSD and embrace a new chapter of growth and possibility.

Bridging Worlds: Coaching, Integration, and Advocacy

Today, I combine my corporate expertise with my passion for healing to support you as you take your own journey of expansion and growth. As the founder of The Journey Sage, I offer coaching, journey preparation, and integration services to help you navigate career transitions, leadership challenges, and personal healing transformations.

If you would like to know more about my healing journey, my memoir Rescuing Jill: How MDMA with a Dash of Mushrooms Healed My Childhood Trauma-Induced PTSD and the Rescuing Jill Intention Setting Companion Workbook, provide practical insights and guidance for anyone considering or integrating psychedelic therapy. Additionally, I share my story and all the best practices I learned, and continue to learn on my YouTube channel, @thejourneysage. Through speaking, writing, and advocacy, I aim to reduce stigma and foster open, informed conversations about mental health and innovative healing modalities.
